Asado

---

Asado is an argentinian family barbeque. My family doesn´t do it but alot do it every sunday as does the family of my exchange friend Jeevon from America. So one day I decided to go along with them.

We went about 2 blocks from his house, ( nothing is ever far in this town) to where his grandma lives. On the block of her house, they have built a special building just for asados which has a long table and chairs for about 15 people, as well as a kitchen and the barbeque built in.

Family and friends came and everyone brings their own salads and drinks, but the meat is all cooked there. Seeing as my host parents don´t like meat that much, I was quite hapily to chow down on the endless supply of beef and lamb that was being offered to me fresh off of the barbie.

THen afterwards we had dessert, now in this country if your eating something sweet, they don´t like to make a half assed effort of making it sweet, it´s gonna be sweet!!! see further my picture of dessert with description.

Then after everyone had eaten, they decided to play guitar and do some spanish dancing. Jeevon tells me that this doesn´t always happen, but I´ve found that breaking out into song is quite a common thing in this country so it wasn´t much of a surpize. Also I think the dancing was greatly influencded by red wine...
