When many of my Argentine friends show their parties on facebook, usually they are having Fernet, chirozo and cheese, that seems to be heaven for them.
I have brought a few bottles of Fernet from Argentina, and tried to introduce it to the gringo neighbors and friends in California to like it. The response is overwhelmingly the same: they are disgusted by the drink. First they try it with nothing, then mix it with coke, still " disgusting" they said. If I give them a bottle, they probably throw it to their trash can. There is quite a difference of food culture there.
Whether you love it or hate, that stuff is probably pretty bad for your health, 99% is chemicals perhaps. Fernet, chorizo and white bread = short life span.
