    If one were to make Mac and cheese…

    Don't forget that Cheddar is no longer a regional cheese but a process: cheddaring, which is common to other varieties too. For instance, Red Leicester is made using the cheddaring process. So as well as the La Suerte brand that people like, you stand a very good chance of finding a "cheddared"...

    Coffee in the market

    In my opinion, what makes it so hard are the money they spend in product development means their products often are genuinely better than the competition and that in some markets there is no competition

    Coffee in the market

    Kudos to @steveinbsas and @wineguy999 for eschewing Nestlé products. My reasons are to do with their aggressive marketing of baby formula to communities that can least afford it leading to infant malnutrition through overdilution. I'd be interested, @steveinbsas in what it was about cafe...

    Starlink Launches the Mini X Portable Satellite Internet Kit in Argentina

    Regardless of the rights and wrongs of it, I'm not sure how keen I would be to commit my internet connectivity - not to mention my cash - to an owner who has a long track record of switching his products on and off again on his whim

    Coffee Chat on TUESDAY, March 10 VELVET Café/Resto in Palermo

It's not really practical for me to get there and I think I've just been once, a long time ago, but I appreciate what @gracielle and @Neil have been doing week after week for a...

    Alternatives to SKYPE

    I keep meaning to take a look at Viber (https://www.viber.com) I believe like Skype, it's free Viber to Viber and (mostly) a few cents for Viber out. It's not US owned which you may or may not see as a good thing.

    Humanoid robots have been spotted in Puerto Madero

    You can fix that misunderstanding from the Settings menu of BAExpats. Go to Settings > Styles > Fonts and then from the drop-down menu, select Irony Font (This has also been a tongue-in-cheek reply ;-) )

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    To be fair, Argentine people get ripped off by tradesmen too so don't be too hard on yourself.

    Civil Union → Precaria → Temporary Residency

    First of all, congratulations on your relationship. Second - and I'm not picking on you personally @bamark because this just happens to be a convenient thread on which to hang a general query - I'm always surprised that people who ask these sorts of questions never seem to mention the...

    Where can I buy beans?

    Let's hear it for time/patience! Everybody ought to have something they do, simply because they enjoy it, and for me, one of those things is cooking from scratch. Let's also hear it for therapy!

    Visa Runs vs Rentista Visa 2026?

    How do "Most People" stay in Argentina? "Most People" aren't trying to prise a loophole out of what is already one of the world's most generous and inexpensive immigration systems.
