Food And Drink in Argentina: A Guide for Tourists And Residents
Food And Drink in Argentina: A Guide for Tourists And Residents Review
I traveled in Argentina for 6 weeks with friends on a medium budget (spent 75$ US/day for 2 people). Even at that rate, we ate very well. This book provided all the nuanced terms that our Moon, Brant and Lonely Planet guide could never provide. I pretty much carried it at all times and probably used it once a day. Traveling around the country constantly turned up new things to taste and this book only let us down once or twice without an definition. Highly recommended. By the way, my friends are ultra-foodies.
Here is another recomendation. Leave your Spanish dictionary at home and buy this one in Argentina or through amazon, Diccionario Oceano practico espanol-ingles (Diccionarios) (Spanish Edition). Diccionario Oceano practico espanol-ingles (Diccionarios) (Spanish Edition)The one listed in Amazon says it is leather bound, the one I bought in Argentina has a vinyl cover which I think would be better for traveling with. They are about the same price although the leather one in Argetina was more than this one. It is a paperback that is almost too big for a pocket but did fit in mine, This is by better by far than any Spanish/English dictionary I have ever seen. I carried it around everyday. It has great sidebar idiom sections for multiple forms and usages for word with examples! . My friend who researched all of the Spanish dictionaries at Powell’s, threw his dictionary away and bought one of these after I got mine. Can’t go wrong with this. By the way the Moon Guide was the most current and useful guide we carried.
