Prior to this pandemic, I used to take steakhouses and other eating establishments for granted. After this is over, I will have a far greater appreciation for these places. My first order of business is to support my local economy by going out to eat. Stay strong, and cheers from Boston.
Another very typical Argentine desert is called "queso y dulce" or "postre del vigilante" (watchman's desert). It's simply a slab of a mild fresh cheese together with a slab of jellied sweet potato (dulce de batata) or jellied quince (dulce de membrillo).
Thank you so much for continuing to post these! It's a pleasant distraction from everything going on. Argentina is fast climbing my list of new places to visit. Greetings from Ottawa! Stay safe.
@@woltersworld I wanna mention that in many places you can order them fried (more tasty and traditional) or baked (made in the oven, the ones from your videos look like these ones). Fried ones tend to drip, so be carefull (correct position: seated, leaning heavely to the front and legs opend wide, so to not let any drop fall on your attire). Bay the way, every "Provincia" or argentinian province has it´s own empanada recipe. And maybe you don´t know (you dont mention it in this video) but Rosario (provincia de Santa Fe) is Artisanal Ice Cream Main Argentinian City (Capital Argentina del Helado Artesanal), officialy declared so in 1999.
I lived in Argentina for a short time as a five year old and we used to buy alfajores at the kiosk. I haven’t thought of this in over fifty years... Thank you for prodding my memory!
The food looks amazing. We had an Argentinian restaurant when I lived in the San Fernando valley. It was so good. I can only imagine how much better it tastes locally.
Medialunas are very similar to croissants, but with more butter, and they are literally washed in syrup once they come out of the oven (that's the extra sugary glaze). Just to mention as well, there is to kinds of medialunas, sweet or savoury and the difference is one is made with butter and it's all fluffy and sweet, the other is made with fat and it's all crunchy and more salty.
My childhood in BA memories of food are alfajores (Havana chocolate, keep that dusted sugar stuff away from me), milk in a bag, sparkling water, chorizo, beef, toast made from a baguette cooked on a stove, spinach cheese quiche (I think that was just my mom’s coworker’s thing, though), chiclets, and beef. Submarinos, hot chocolate made with steamed milk and a bar of chocolate that you melt and mix in. Honestly, mostly the alfajores and the beef, but lots of good memories. Edit - also the empanadas, the pizza with fresh tomatoes, and the medialunas. I have no memory of mate, I’m pretty sure I had it.
Thank you for this very informative Post. Like in the US Restaurant food is different than home cooking, at home we eat many type of stews, frittata , soups, tarts, salads , polenta with bolognese sauce or pomarola sauce, milanesas, a lot of bake chicken, and vegetables like cooked pumpkin, Swiss chard, spinach zapallito a type of zucchini and potatoes, And Pastas of course. My favorite Berenjenas en Escabeche! Marinated eggplant. Also food depends where your ancestors came from, like Italy, Spain, Lebanon etc. Sorry it took me so long to write this comment 😂.
Oh yea, but you must know we in Argentina have dinner late because we have "merienda" in the late afternoon 😊. Is coffe, mate, matecocido or tea, with sweet sidings between hours 18 and 21. That makes 4 meals a day ❤️
One thing I like to eat in Bs. As. that you didn't mention are the tartas. These are savory tarts or pies with various fillings - acelga (chard), onion, ham and cheese, tarta pascualina (chard with a boiled egg inside). A slice of these makes a good light lunch, and it's a good veggie option.
Tremendoooo! No sé de qué parte sos, pero por acá por Bahía Blanca es el día perfecto para asado. Lástima que vivo en dpto lpm, jajaja. Abrazo, hermano!
The food looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not that I dont eat red meat it's just that I am more of a chicken, seafood (especially shrimp) and fish kind of girl!! When I grow up I want to be like Jocelyn and Mark!🤗😍🤗🤩😍🤗
Because those are things you can buy and eat on the street. As a local you can keep food in your fridge or pantry, you get a lot more options for quick meals, like a Picada.
oh... i never thought about that. oh wow... i am drooling just thinking about that :) oh man... that would be toruture to make, but so tasty to watch :)
There used to be a good Aripe place in Oak Park West of Chicago but sadly it closed. So how close are the Fogo de Chão restaurants to what you had in Argentina?
Wait where did you find empanadas with dulce de leche like what? Im blown away (im argentinian and i have never seen those) sounds gross but im interested lol
Jocelyn, have you tried gluten free empanadas, or tried making them from home? I heard on your livestream the gluten free bread issues, and my diet for the last 18 months has been no-wheat, no-corn, no-potatoe.... so finding a good bread is rough. As a teacher working from home, I thought I would try a few new baked goods. Thanks for the videos, streams, and advice!
I have not made those but, I use various flours; coconut, almond are good regular subs. For sweet things; banana and tapioca flour are good. My friend who is a baker uses a combo of rice and almond flour in cakes with much luck.
When I saw Dulce de Leche i thought yuk until you said it was made with condensed milk. Yum, I used to love condensed milk sandwiches when I was little. It's an English thing.
Stephen Brown yes, that is what he said. But that it is not correct. The way that it is made in Argentina is with sugar, milk, cream, vanilla and a tiny little bit of bicarbonate of soda. People in Argentina LOVE it, I am argentinean but not a fan, to sweet for me.
Argentina? U shd've gone to Ushuaia & travelled to Antarctica for a lengthy stay. NO COVID on the entire continent. Imagine being able to mill about with other people fearlessly. In these times, that in itself would be something else, well worth the trip. Stay healthy.
Most of us will say "esa vaca todavia muje" (that cow stills moo) if the meat comes red. My dad loved to eat his steak a bit raw and we always had an argument about how it is done hahaha
We are. This video was filmed 1+ year ago. We encourage all our followers to stay home now but we are putting some videos out to help people 'travel' from their sofas.
We know. This video was filmed awhile ago. We are just putting out travel videos to give people somehting to watch instead of virus videos. Hope you are safe. We are staying home don't worry
please don't drink Quilmes lol it's disgusting. The best "popular" "industrial" beer are Imperial, 1890, hell even Brahma is better than quilmes. There are some industrial "artisanal style" beers that have come up with time: Patagonia is great!
Imperial Ipa is the best industrial beer u would find here, at least if you like a bitter beer. There is a bar called "Blest" in Palermo plaza Serrano, that is original from bariloche, it has the best beer that you could find in the city
I saw so many vegetarian or vegan friendly restaurants in Buenos Aires. You might have been in wrong area of town. Also I recommend a vegan city tour by local. I booked mine from Airbnb. My guide was so helpful and showed me so many vegan options

Here in Denmark. A lot of places offer takeaway. We eat more from restaurants than we are used to.

You will be most welcome here! Stay safe you too.
It is a great place to visit. I loved visiting and living there
I'm about to eat empanadas right now! Great video as always, and thanks a lot for sharing our culture with the world!
You are killing me!!! They are so good. Always ordered a couple before we actually ordered ordered if you get what i mean. So good.

I studied abroad in Buenos Aires and the things I miss the most are medialunas (de manteca), dulce de leche, empanadas and alfajores.
Are they that good? I've been staying away from breads and sweets while in Buenos Aires, I'm not a big bread person. Maybe I should try some of them.
BEST COUNTRY EVER 🇦🇷👏
As is usual with a Brazilians like me, I LOVE Argentina!
Braziloche :)
@@woltersworld yeah, love skiing too!

glad i could Kate :)

This is one of my favorite from Wolters World.
Please try "alfajores" especially 70% cacao from the brand: havanna, is definitely my favorite if you enjoy chocolate you're gonna looove it
Thank you! I will do that on my next trip! Thank you for the recommendation
I prefer the Cachafaz brand, omg so delicious.
Memories of childhood.
@@guitejada yes the cachafaz are the BEST!
Ningún guaymayen de fruta jaja
Argentina is beautiful

Making me hungry!!!
It was torture editing this together. i was so hungry! the steaks and dulce de leche were the best!!!!
you got through it!
Great summary of the most popular food in Buenos Aires. I would have loved a few recommendations of restaurants, though.
The chocolate is also amazing in Argentina
good stuff.
Fried empanadas as a starter!!! Don't miss it
so good

You forgot about MILANESAS. Literally best thing ever
Yes! All of those foods (and more) are great. I'm going back down there for the eclipse this December.

Hoy me hago un asadito en cuarentena !
Tremendoooo! No sé de qué parte sos, pero por acá por Bahía Blanca es el día perfecto para asado. Lástima que vivo en dpto lpm, jajaja. Abrazo, hermano!
La mujer de un amigo es de bahia blanca. Ella siempre hablaba mucho de la ciudad.

@@woltersworld that's crazy!! And aside from that, your Spanish is great, you have a really good accent!
@@woltersworld where did you learn Spanish?.
Glad you liked Buenos Aires!
Always!
I booked a flight for Buenos Aires for January 2021. Can’t wait!
Awesome! Have fun!
croissants and empanadas are superb in BA
I agree
4:22 - Isn't that Anthony Bourdain? :)
his husky handsomer cousin maybe ;)
The food looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not that I dont eat red meat it's just that I am more of a chicken, seafood (especially shrimp) and fish kind of girl!! When I grow up I want to be like Jocelyn and Mark!🤗😍🤗🤩😍🤗
I understand. Don't worry. The grilled chicken and seafood we had was super delicious too :)
For seafood and white meat, Chile is definitely the better choice. It's cheaper and has more variety of fish
I've got married in the church that's behind you!
That GORGEOUS Border Collie frolicking in the background distracted me!
Dulce looks yummy
it really is
Howdy , long time no see.
I know :) thanks for watching buddy.
Lol! Be well friend!
Is Buenos Aires expensive compared to the USA or would you say its more affordable for food
Argentina is currently in a crisis so is very cheap for international tourism right now.
Every video I see is empanadas and choripanes (for quick options)...there's gotta be more than that!
Because those are things you can buy and eat on the street. As a local you can keep food in your fridge or pantry, you get a lot more options for quick meals, like a Picada.
Wow I might not come back home if I visited.
I hear you ;)
omg making me hungry! (btw, where is the live stream from this morning? I missed it 😭 )
I unlisted it for a second. I will have it back up in an hour
Just made it public
It’s on Wolter’s World.
If you find it "Locro" is very very good
hi Wolter, can you make a video of different kind of roasted meat you ate around the world, my mouth is watering just think about it
william wang His name isn’t Wolter. It’s Mark.
haha wolter
oh... i never thought about that. oh wow... i am drooling just thinking about that :) oh man... that would be toruture to make, but so tasty to watch :)
@@wehavefive it's ok. i answer to anything :)
The pork is good and the lamb is awesome. Seafood is pretty good to.
yeah, they have some good eating down there
There used to be a good Aripe place in Oak Park West of Chicago but sadly it closed.
So how close are the Fogo de Chão restaurants to what you had in Argentina?
Fogo do Chao is Brasilian and it's about as close as you'll get to Southern Brasilian meat in the US...unless you have neighbors from Brasil😉
@@jocelynwolters293 oops yep I forgot it's Brazilian, thanks! I need to get out more, once I can again LOL.
Wait where did you find empanadas with dulce de leche like what? Im blown away (im argentinian and i have never seen those) sounds gross but im interested lol
llego re tarden pero existen hace mucho, las cadenas de empanadas suelen tener de membrillo, de batata y dulce de leche con nuez
@@lucasoscar como hemos caído ahre ni idea que existían pero básicamente una factura
Si te las guardas para el final, no se, pero no son feas las de ddl

It is not made with condensed milk, its like caramel but with milk.
@@secretbakeryco Checked this again and Mark definitely says condensed milk and sugar
Stephen Brown yes, that is what he said. But that it is not correct. The way that it is made in Argentina is with sugar, milk, cream, vanilla and a tiny little bit of bicarbonate of soda. People in Argentina LOVE it, I am argentinean but not a fan, to sweet for me.

True. We were here before the time of Covid. If we only would have known. Hope you are staying healthy!
At last a country which loves well done meat!
We don't like raw meat. 😅
Most of us will say "esa vaca todavia muje" (that cow stills moo) if the meat comes red. My dad loved to eat his steak a bit raw and we always had an argument about how it is done hahaha

Pretty interesting as Sudanese are meat eating nation like Argentina plus we are knwon in the arab world for beef and lmab due to the good grass land
Why try the mustard first? Does our mustard taste different? Lol
Thanks for the video...however, the steaks are not grilled well done. Far from it. Second, chorizo is never spicy. I enjoyed the content
McDonald's and Burger King taste better in Argentina.
Argentine Schnitzel is great.
Seeiouslybgood schnitzel!!!
Stay home!!!
We are. This video was filmed 1+ year ago. We encourage all our followers to stay home now but we are putting some videos out to help people 'travel' from their sofas.

I'm vegan and was not impressed by Argentine cuisine in Buenos Aires.
Lol thats because your a vegan. Im sure there are different plants, veggies, and fruits around the world that you may like 1 place more then others.
I saw so many vegetarian or vegan friendly restaurants in Buenos Aires. You might have been in wrong area of town. Also I recommend a vegan city tour by local. I booked mine from Airbnb. My guide was so helpful and showed me so many vegan options
The vegan and vegetarian scene has really blown up the last few years in BA. So hope it is better for you next time you visit.
