I thought it was local but when I asked the supermarket manager, he said it was imported and they would not be able to restock. There's a phone number and email for the company it's made for (which is local) so will try and contact them this week...

I don't think it would be very pleasant working and living in Puerto Madero. It's quite barren, esp. in winter, and there's nothing there for kids (I don't know if that's applicable).

I thought it was just a case of tax hikes since despite a thread on this a while back, there were still imported foods at Disco, Carrefour et al. However, today my local Chinese supermarket manager told me he spoke to suppliers and manufacturers of Dame Mani peanut butter and it would no longer...

Maybe we should get Terrie to come over to Monserrat, Reina....any other peeps in the neighbourhood interested in an appt with Terrie?

Hey Tangerine, I'm just questioning whether some of these posts are real or fabricated!!! Anywho, I have nothing against toads so I won't be offended by your quip...

Your join date is two years ago, jb5, why do you need our advice? Some of the people advising you seem to have been here much less time than you. So what's the deal, is this for real?

Harina leudante is self-raising flour. You need to get "polvo para hornear" usually in a red tub or packet with the brand ROYAL on the front. For cornmeal, yes, buy a bag of polenta. My husband makes cornbread all the time, he told me to soak the polenta in the milk for a bit as it is grittier...

McDonads and Burger King have them, I know they're not "restaurants" but the play areas are good. Galerias Pacifico on Florida and Cordoba downtown have one with lego and drawing stuff in the food court.

The question may also be how to get stuff out if you decide one day to leave....

Sounds great Ida, have you got any pics? I need some blonde highlights done and have only ever had probs here in the past so would be good to find a hairdresser experienced in this.

Can't someone contact your portero? At best, he might be able to get you out, at worst he might know a cheap local cerrajeria where they won't rip you off...

There are quite a few pregnant expats right now, I hope they follow this thread, it could be advantageous for them to return home until after the birth...

Nikad, all I found was this confirmation that DNI was required: "Siempre debés llevar tu DNI.......Si sos menor de 16 años debés concurrir acompañado por alguno de tus padres y presentar tu DNI y tu partida de nacimiento."

I love the old buildings, especially the ones with faces on them, the local stores - panaderias, librerias, kioscos, cafes....the undercurrent of gossip, the flirting at street-corners, the way second-hand stuff retains its value, the excitement of inflation, the drifts of tango music in...

Wow, I would really like one, but I don't think I can handle the bad karma....

Hmm, but it is an interesting question, do they have citizen's arrest here?

I'd take the dog poop any day, if they'd do away with the pollution from buses. I fear if I stay here too long I'll get cancer...

Looked this up but couldn't find the answer, I know tomorrow 2nd is Malvinas Day, but is Monday feriado or was it today or is there no feriado for this? Thanks!

But some of these things like faina and olives are local, there must be another reason...

No black olives in rodajas anymore, hard to even get the green sliced....
