Asado

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a barbecue? Asado is like a really yummy barbecue but it comes from Argentina, which is a country far away from us.

Asado is a special way of cooking different types of meat, like beef, chicken, or sausage, on a grill over hot coals. It's also a social event, where families and friends gather around to enjoy the delicious food and have a good time.

The meat is cooked slowly and carefully, and seasoned with salt and sometimes other spices. The cooks use special tools to flip the meat and make sure it's cooked evenly.

After the meat is cooked, everyone grabs a piece and eats it with their hands. Some people like to dip it in chimichurri sauce, which is a yummy blend of herbs, garlic, and vinegar.

In Argentina, asado is more than just a meal - it's a tradition that brings people together and celebrates food, family, and friendship.
