Asado - Uruguay

A fun and historical fact about the tradition of "asado" (barbecue) in Uruguay and Argentina is that it has deep cultural roots dating back to the early 19th century. Gauchos, the skilled horsemen of the region, would gather around open fires to cook meat from the cattle they herded. This communal style of cooking became an integral part of their culture and later spread to become a cherished tradition in both countries. Today, the asado is not just a meal but a social event, bringing friends and family together to enjoy delicious grilled meats and good company. For you, is barbecue Argentine or Uruguayan? For me, it's about being with friends, wherever that may be. #AsadoTradition #Uruguay #Argentina #Gauchos
