Asado – Barbecue • Our version of the barbecue is called ASADO. People

usually get together to eat asado on weekends. Besides the meat itself it is very common to eat spicy sausages (chorizos) and sweetbreads (molleja) . This is called the famous Parillada mixta. Bread and salads are the perfect side dishes. During the week days, we prefer milanesas. (breaded meat filets).

Mate Mate is the most traditional drink  and it is very popular. It's similar to tea but it´s more a way of socializing than a plain drink. The most common way to prepare it  is to fill the mate with the leaves of a plant called yerba, put a silver straw on it (bombilla) and then put hot water. Some people also add some sugar.
