I need as much information on Carbonada Criolla (An Argentina Dish) that you can give?! In English please!?!
In Argentina, criollos were known as those who were born within the country but of Spanish descent. Also, native cuisine, based on past European influences, is known in Argentina as comida criolla.
Carbonada criolla is a traditional Argentine dish usually made with beef, squash and peaches. This is a very delicious stew. With many ingredients simmered together, this stew has wonderful flavors that all compliment each other very well. This stew is very good served alone, or it can be accompanied by a steamed vegetable and bread. This is a perfect winter dish that simmers all day long and fills the kitchen with a wonderful aroma that makes everyone ask when dinner will be ready.
Answers: Argentina is one of the world's major food suppliers. It is a major producer of beef, wheat, corn, milk beans, and soybeans. Argentine cuisine evolved distinctly from the rest of Latin American cuisine because of the heavy influence of Italian, Spanish, French and other European cuisines.
