Traditional Argentine folk music.
Popcorn!
A nice display of bull horn knives and a hoof mate.
Spent far too much time at this stand trying to choose which knife I wanted. One with a bull horn handle, ostrich talon handle, etc.
I think only in Argentina you'd find a calendar hanging that illustrates all the cuts of meat.
This guy's no stranger to the barbecue.
On Sunday Nay and I went to the Feria de Matadores which is an authentic celebration of Argentine country life, folk music and gaucho traditions. It's held every weekend in the western BA suburb of Matadores. There's a hearty cuisine of empanadas, locro (a stew from Northwest Argentine,) and choripanes (sausage sandwiches.) Folk music emanates from an outdoor stage and couples take to the street to dance the chacarera and chamame. I decided this would be a perfect place to buy a knife to take with me on my upcoming trip down to Patagonia. It's pretty cool- it has a bull horn handle and a bolster with a clip. I figure everyone should have a good knife and you definitely shouldn't go into the wilderness unprepared. A great way to spend "Feliz Primavera"- the first day of spring!
