Yes we never go to a parrilla as the prices are never reflected in the quality of food so we just make it at home. To be honest I've always thought Argentine beef was overrated.

We have a herd of Herefords which are all grass fed. I know very little about it as it's the wife who deals with it and I just do what I'm told. All I do know is thank God it's more of a hobby than a business as the returns are derisory as they end up being sold as normal cattle rather than free...

Yes imported pipe tobacco has increased by 100% over the last year. :mad:

Rub harder or leave them for the wife to clean. ;)

A roll of hay. 300 pesos each last winter 450 yesterday. It wasn't the best quality so he did us a favour and knocked 30 pesos off each roll. :rolleyes:

Yes that's the one I usually use. They do at least stock non Argentine tobacco but say they rely on what they're brought rather than what they want.

We've to go into BA later in the month so shall pay them a visit. We're out near Chivilcoy.

Yes I am....Muirend to be precise. A semi posh part of Glasgow. :rolleyes:

Good explanation. In other words we're being ripped off....now isn't that a surprise. :D

You're right....I think all the rain in Scotland has through time softened our brains.

Our gas cooker wasn't cheap and the oven doesn't have a temperature control...you have to guess!! It's taken me ages to get the hang of it but I still find it impossible to get it on a low heat. Seems to be common on cookers here for some reason. :confused:

I live out in the sticks in a small town 100 miles from the capital. I smoke a pipe however the choice of pipe tobacco in the shops here is very limited. Soon as I find some decent stuff (my preference is for non aromatic) I buy it all. Problem is when I run out and go back they never have the...

I'm Scottish....my Argentine wife said it was my mild manner that attracted her to me. After seven years of living here though it is now being severely tested. :D To be honest I don't think the Brits are any different than people from any other country.

Yes I knew that.
