What is Argentine food like?
Homestay families all have different backgrounds; Italians, Spaniards, Jewish Europeans, and many middle easterners settled the Argentine west. Typical food from the area may include Gelato (Italian style ice cream) and fresh made pastas, or also ‘Empanadas Arabes.’ Also, beef is king in Argentina and a full asado (barbeque) is easily found. Vegetarian students, though, will have no problem finding healthy and delicious meatless meals—both at their homestay and at one of the city’s vegetarian restaurants.
