What are some main corse meals sold in Uraguay?

Answer 1

Uruguayans probably consume more beef than any other people in the world.  Churrasco (grilled steak) is said to be the national dish.  Parrillada is a beef  platter and considered another national dish. Chivitos are also popular; they are hot steak sandwiches topped with bacon, eggs, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.  Now that sounds like a mouthful!  In any event, one has not completed the Uruguayan tradition without attending one of those famous barbeques with an open pit fire.

Uruguayans also serve traditional Spanish food.  Puchero is a meat stew considered a delicacy.  And of course the large Italian influence yields a myriad of pasta dishes, lasagna and pizza being Uruguayan favorites.  Club sandwiches and spicy sausage on rolls also claim a place as favorite Uruguayan snacks.

Uruguay also offers some awesome seafood including Mussels and many types of tasty saltwater and fresh water fish.

And TEA!  Herbal tea, known as mate is consumed in mass quantities.  Traditionally, mate was drunk from a gourd through a silver straw.  The gourd was passed around the room for people to share.  In recent times, though, individual teacups do the trick. Clericó is a popular drink, containing white wine and fruit juice.  Uruguayans are also fond of mixing white with sparkling wine.  Beer lovers will also find the beer in Uruguay to be pretty good.

The largest meal of the day is lunch.  Many employees are given a two hour lunch so that they may return home and have a large home-cooked meal with their families.  Evening meals are typically lighter.  Finally Uruguayans have a sweet tooth.  They MUST take breaks during the day to consume such goodies as chaja, a sponge cake loaded with jam and cream.
