Disappointed with Food in Argentina

[sdsurfista]

argentina does not have great creative food but it's steak when pasture raised are superb . i'm 2003 90 percent of all meat was pasture raised now it's 90 percent feedlot and the difference in taste is criminal . don Julio a restaurant that I used to frequent in 2003 was maximum 15 dollars a person then with wine now it's 300 dollars with wine . have wages in US dollars gone up 20 times since 2003 ? https://www.airedesantafe.com.ar/ec...ida-argentina-y-una-estrella-michelin-n615341

I have only been able to find pasture raised beef at El Rosarino in Mercado Belgrano. It is not cheap 30k per killo for lomo last week. If someone has a better connection let me know. All the other dozen or so local butchers I talked to sold feedlot. In fact one told me sadly most people seem to prefer the flavor of the gmo corn and soy raised cattle these days.

Can you easily tell the difference between pasture fed, grass fed, feedlot, and so on?

I'm asking from a position of absolute ignorance, since I don't eat meat (Mrs. Pintor does, which is why I'm asking).

I saw a video recently of a tractor dumping what looked like freshly cut grass into a trough in a barn with lots of cows, and I thought, that's not exactly what I expected "grass fed" to be.

These people in Villa Urquiza say they have "pasture raised" beef: https://carnessantaana.com/
