Disappointed with Food in Argentina

The times I’ve had American BBQ I have not been impressed to be honest.

It's certainly not the best flavor in the world, but it's a unique flavor. Growing up in Los Angeles, with a vibrant culinary scene means tasting food from all over the world...from sweet Morrocan pigeon pie to the cognac in a steak Au' Poivre to the smoky sticky Baby back ribs. All very unique flavors. Argentine asado lacks flavor, there's nothing wrong with saying that and there's no reason to be offended by it. It is what it is and it's the culture that's here.
 
I totally understand you. I am from Armenia and we use spices. And the solutions is local armenians. For example you can buy a Basturma or Sujux aka salami like food. Spicy spices I buy from them as well. And meat here is fantastic, but only beef. The rest is a bullshit. With a proper seasoning local beef is godlike food.
 
Pizza here is generally garbage, though there are a few places in CABA that are good (Cuartito, Cuartetas, Almacén de Pizzas, generally most Neapolitan style places)
 
In just the same way that people from the US seem quite happy to eat chocolate bars that most of the rest of the world find revolting it's quite possible that Argentine people quite like their food and drink the way it is, thank you very much. And, if the 2023 figures from International Living are anywhere near correct then are the 0.0015% of the population who are expats economically worth adapting mainstream products for?
