Sarmiento brought the malbec grape to Argentina... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbec_World_Day Salud!

Hi! I am planning to take a painting out of Argentina and was able to get an Export Notice approval..very straightforward and came in one business day! some notes that may be helpful - I did it thru the portal "Tramites a Distancia" - I do have a DNI but there seems to be a process for...

Steve, I just took 85% as an average...of course I don't know what cuts you eat neither the details of your diet...what I meant to say is that a 20kg/month diet gets practically all calories from beef...sort of a moot point since now I think the OP article meant 20kg/year, quite a difference. Salud!

ahh nvm, must be kg/year

lemmesee: assuming 85% fat content, 1kg is about 2350cal...20kg/month per capita means about 1700 cal per day JUST from meat...nearly 100% of what is needed from meat...you think that has all the nutrients you need?

Argentina: a household employee making A$2000/hour (2usd) needs 7500 hrs of work to buy a Fiat Cronos Uruguay: same employee makes U$150 (4usd) needs 4500 hrs to buy a similar car (Chevrolet Onyx) USA: at the lowish 15usd/hr, a worker needs just 1700hrs of work to buy a Nissan Sentra Viva Peron!

I brought a couple of well used bikes...they were boxed, I did not have any paperwork for them. I did not have any problem at Ezeiza, they just asked me what they were and that was it, they did not open the boxes. I did not have to pay anything

Funny what you say about PC not reaching Argentina, when the first line in the article says "Las rusas (y los rusos)..." a play on words on the usual gender "equality" PC that has taken over the spanish language in Argentina. But OK, guess you are fine with that. What bothers me in the tittle...

I find the title of the piece ("las rusas...") simply repugnant

nah...Maverick did the same...not a big deal

I was told that many (most?) of the local gins use the same base spirit. It is manufactured in Córdoba by Porta Hermanos. Is corn based.

I liked Principe de los Apostoles when I tried it many years ago at Floreria Atlantico in Recoleta.

yeah Frank...is real easy: multiply the price from my post times the ouput in yours and you get the actual exports in usd...and fact is that 2022 was an all-time record of usd that entered the country from grain exports. Heck, even 2018 was worst by that measure that the current...

We can discuss Alberto's "inheritance" over good wine. But unlucky he was not: soybean prices dipped notably during Macri's tenure and recovered during Alberto's. And BTW...during De la Rua time soybean was at about 400-500 usd/bushel...
