You can expect hearty stews and simple combinations of grains and legumes. This style of cooking usually uses very few spices and an excessive amount of butter.
Empanadas - Empanadas are a staple of Argentinian cuisine. They are a pastry typically filled with meat or cheese and then deep fried. They make a great snack or can be a meal if you are particularly hungry. Milanesas - The Argentinian variation of a sandwich, milanesas are thinly sliced pieces of steak covered in a spicy bread crumb batter and then deep fried. They can be served in many different ways, but are usually served with lettuce, tomato, and a thick mayonnaise.
Argentinian buffets are very different from their Chinese and American cousins. While there is usually a salad bar, the main event is a carving station that is manned by a person with a large knife. This station is where meat is carved and served on a plate, usually accompanied by mashed potatoes and a healthy serving of vegetables.
