Alright, so for todays meal were eating at a place called Cumaná in Buenos Aires. And this restaurant specializes in Northern Argentine food. So these are dishes that you might find in the region of Salta or Jujuy. And the truth is that when we were traveling in Northern Argentina we didnt ually eat a lot of Northern Argentine food aside from empanadas. So itll be interesting to finally sample those dishes in the capital.\r
\r
So the food came rather quickly. It is already at the table. And since it is a bit of a cooler day outside we decided to both order stews.\r
\r
Im having one that is called Locro. And it kind of comes in this metal bowl that is really hot and I already made the mistake of touching it. So that wont happen again. But here you can see it is like really thick. You can see the chunks of corn in there. Wow. You have some spring onions, a little bit of spice. That looks so good. Yeah, youll have to stir it around.\r
\r
Yeah, lets mix it all in. Thats probably how youre supposed to eat it anyway. Id say. So lets mix it all in. And look at that. So it has different cuts of meat as well. I believe this one has pork and beef. \r
It is very rich and thick. It is like a nice stew.\r
\r
Okay, so Sam youre having something called Carbonada Criolla which is also stew. Yes, and mine appears to be piping hot as well. It kind of has the texture and appearance of a chili. It look a bit like chili. And mine has got carrots and it has got corn. It has got beef. Lets try that. A little bit of everything. \r
\r
Oh, that is delicious. Im honestly usually not the biggest fan of stews but this is like almost as thick as a chillie. Yeah. Yeah. It is really good and it is quite sweet too. Yeah, and it is really the perfect weather to be having this. It is. It is a little bit rainy these past few days. And I like that it has got a generous amount of meat. And you taste the corn and the carrots a lot. And there is also potato in there as well too. So yeah, this is the perfect dish for us to be having on a cold day in Buenos Aires. \r
\r
And pretty much every meal youve been having here in Argentina has been paired with wine. Well, it is just so cheap and so good. I mean the quality of Argentine wine is fantastic. And their national grape, the one that theyre most famous for, is producing a Malbec wine.\r
\r
So everyone watching our videos has already seen us try savory empanadas but today were having sweet ones for dessert. Yeah, and I dont know how I have any room considering how hearty that stew was. I am full from all of that wine too.\r
\r
We are going to try some special ones. These are very unique. This one has dulce de leche. \r
\r
This is called Cayote. And it is a fruit that you find in Northern Argentina. Ive never seen it before. But I asked the waiter to kind of try and compare it to something and he said it is kind of like a watermelon. Except it is white and that then when you boil it you kind of get these fibers. And you just cook it with sugar and it turns into this like really sweet jam. And they use it as a filling for empanadas. So, it is called Cayote. \r
\r
So Sam seems pretty pleased with the price. Would that be accurate? Yes, that was a fantastic price. 282 Pesos, so that is less than 20 US dollars and for that amount of money we got two massive stews, we got the soda siffon, I get a generous bottle of wine and we got two dessert empanadas. And I have to say that the quality here was fantastic. Even the bread that was served prior to our meal was a really good homemade quality bread. This is one of my new favorite restaurants in all of Buenos Aires.\r
