Disappointed with Food in Argentina

[redlobster]

A 5 min Google search I came up with this superb korean restaurant that has all you can eat buffett for leds than 20 dollars per person weekdays

There are probably tens of thousands of distinct dishes across East and Southeast Asian cuisines. It's a fair bet that for any one of them, you'll find a place - probably somewhere in Asia - where it's made better and costs less. If you're into Asian food and it plays an important role in your life, Buenos Aires shouldn't be your primary destination. So there's absolutely no point in naming all the dishes one by one.

And their bulgolgi Is 17 dollars por a plate for 2 .

It's called bulgogi, by the way.

You are from Seattle Washington no ,? A 5 min Google search I came up with this superb korean restaurant that has all you can eat buffett for leds than 20 dollars per person weekdays And their bulgolgi Is 17 dollars por a plate for 2 . The cheapest korean buffett in buenos Aires Is now 45000 pesos per person or nearly double this Seattle place which looks superb .https://youtube.com/shorts/GmTVXoZTQVc?si=YcnfrwYOtezfQ51Z

Peso Libre? Seriously?
This place is a minimum 4 hour round trip from my US home, so that alone rules it out, but steam table dining is not in my culinary future.

My favorite store is Club Saludable on Av. Callao near Av. Cordoba. I want to share these photos I took to demonstrate the incredible variety of products they sell, including American brands.

I'll check this place out although the sauces on the second line I think I've tried them all and found them all pretty blergh. Maybe I'm just so subconsciously conditioned to dislike Argentine food and can't enjoy things I would otherwise enjoy back home. Or maybe covid did something to my sense of taste even though as far as I'm aware I've never had covid. Anyway there are some items there I've never tried that look interesting so thanks

I've been looking for Vermont Maple Syrup. Tried the Canadian one sold here but found it disappointing.

Has anyone seen the Vermont one?

Canada syrup is just as high quality as VT syrup. The issue is that Canada exporters have chosen to send the thinest and least tasty variety to Argentina because that is all the market here can spend (after import/export taxes). If some Vermont exporter does send here, the quality will probably be much less than the type you know back home.

Grades of Maple Syrup

Maple syrup is graded on four characteristics: color, clarity, density, and flavor. All pure Vermont Maple Syrup meets strict quality standards.

Great place! That's where I shop, too. Hope to run into you there sometime.

Isn't this the case with just about everything exported to Argentina - countries like China send their lowest quality goods that wouldn't be accepted in richer countries?
