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/

The difference for me is like night and day . Real pasture raised meat is tender and a little sweeter in flavour than feed Lot meat . in 2003 most steaks one had were pasture raised and they we're all incredíble . if You go to Montevideo Uruguay and eat ar the old mercado with all it's steakhouses You Will taste the difference as in Uruguay its mainly pasture raised meat and now it's half the Price to have that same steak in Uruguay than in argentina

I go to De Pastura located near Barrio Chino in Belgrano. I'm not sure how much their lomo is.. I bought roast beef there today for $9890 kg.

I also know of Ummah Halal, carne pastoril faena halal located in Villa Crespo. They posted their prices on Instagram and their lomo is $19900. I've never been there, I was about to until I discovered De Pastura.
