The culinary delights continue in Córdoba as we had the good fortune yesterday to enjoy bagna cauda for the first time. Bagna cauda is a wickedly good winter dish, traditionally from Italy. As is the case with locro, each family seems to have their own secret recipe. Bagna cauda tends to either be oil or cream based, with garlic and anchovies making up some of the key ingredients.
Bagna cauda is eaten communal-style like fondue. Our friend German has not only master asador skills, but also a wonderful bagna cauda recipe. While the kids chowed on choripan, the adults dipped away with accompaniments like chicken, broccoli, sweet potato, milanese, carrots and bread. It’s a deliciously salty dip that’s heavy on the garlic, always a good thing in our minds. The rule of thumb apparently is one head of garlic per adult. Yikes.
Another beautiful Sunday spent with friends, wine, great food, and a little Fernet con coca.
1 year in Argentina 
You should consider opening an Argentine restaurant in PDX. There is so much missed for us South American expats.
What if we just have you over to eat often? That seems much easier, and much more relaxing.
Why don’t we just have you over for dinner often? That seems easier and more relaxing!

We should do that!
I swear, every time you guys post about food it makes me hungry! That sounds fantastic–I hope you are compiling an amazing Argentinian cookbook!
Even better, Beth! One of my students, who is 82, has given me some of her family recipes!!!!! She also gave me a cookbook in Spanish and English! The woman thinks of everything! She is someone I will miss so much when we come home.
