Aloo parantha in Buenos Aires
AND you thought it was tango all the time. Well, I was doing that, but poor Gloria Gangte wasn't that lucky. Especially after sunset. As I walked on the cobbled sidewalks in Buenos Aires, admiring the enormous barbecues grilling "parrilla"* (the national dish), digging into the medium-done "Bife-de-Lomo" with chimichuri sauce at Recoleta Village opposite Eva Peron's cemetery (beef steak was never better), Gloria Gangte was busy cooking mostly aloo paranthas or yellow dal and rice.

And our own Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont) could not get vegetarian Indian pizza anywhere. They are part of the PETA brigade, you see.
