The local customs in preparing a good Asado. Asado in English means BBQ. Its an Argentinian cultural food. This is prepared in a very simple fashion. All you need a grill and some entrada which is a type of meat. You just let it grill until its ready. The whole family comes over when we have this type of meal at our house. We usually eat outside and have the table prepared with salad and potatoes. We also have a salsa called Chimichuri. Which is a sauce that you out on the meat. This meal is a basic meal that runs in our family and is usually done every Sunday.
Someone first time eating an Asado would learn that this is meal of value. Its more value than beliefs. It means more in value to the family when we have this meal together as one family. Someone whose first time attending this event would see that we all appreciate it. They would also learn how easy it is to set a tradition if everyone is up to it. We just randomly started to do this on Sundays. Then since everyone agreed to it, it became a tradition. Every Sunday we get together and have this meal. And someones whose first time could see that.
A meal is considered a traditional when it has some value or belief behind it. Every dinner is the same dinner every night. But what makes it a traditional meal is when you get together and it has some meaning behind it. When we do the Asados it is considered a traditional meal because it has meaning to all of us, to the whole family. When its just a regular dinner it means nothing to us. That's why it so normal and ordinary it has no meaning to us. Really when it comes to what makes a meal traditional or not it all comes down to what it means to you and th e people your celebrating it with.
