MAY 25TH - In celebration of the first Patriotic Government in Argentina but better know to my fellow fattys as the day of Locro and red wine! To be honest on first appearances, it is not the best looking dish I have ever seen - aesthetically unsound. Bits of miscellaneous meat chunks - I am talking the gobbly goobly jelly bits and stomach with weird bumpy textures - in a gooey snot like substance. It is like a roller coaster of textures swirling about in your mouth 
Hey it is not all bad, the taste is rich, hearty and warms the soul - a perfect winter cuisine to ignite the fire within! Might I add also that it is of absolute necessity that Locro is to be washed down into your stomach with a deep, deep, dark red, perhaps the infamously orgasmic Argentine Malbec! So if you can brave your initial prejudices against ugly food, it ain't so bad.. well I think it is rather good. And lets be honest who doesn't love any traditional that involves a food and wine combo!
