If you are considering to study Spanish in Argentina, one of the things that you don’t want to miss out on is enjoying all of the great food that Argentina has to offer. While some uninitiated tourists may be tempted to lump all South American food together, the truth is that each region truly has its own unique cuisine. Argentina is certainly no exception to this rule. Argentine cuisine is distinctive in South America because of its strong resemblance to Spanish, Italian, French and other European cuisines while the cuisine of the Argentine Northwest has more elements of Andean influences. Besides some regional disparitie, there exist at least two other comparisons which are important in understanding Argentine cuisine: the first distinguishes a cuisine that is essentially urban and cosmopolitan (highly influenced by the "globalization" of food and eating patterns) from a more traditional, idiosyncratic rural cuisine. The second comparison is made on the basis of socioeconomic differences. One factor that strongly influences the food in Argentina is the fact that the country produces a great deal of food. The country is notorious for its production of beef. If you attend AISL Spanish school in Buenos Aires, you certainly don’t want to miss out on the country’s various meat dishes including grilled steak and beef ribs. You will also find that asado (or barbeque) is quite popular. Just as much as beef, Italian staples, such as pizza and al dente pasta, are eaten. Fideos, Tallarines, ñoquis, ravioles and canelones can be bought freshly-made in many establishments in the larger cities. Italian-style ice cream is served in large parlours and even drive-through businesses. See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_cuisine
