That’s great Jo…lol!!! That’s indeed why we are highlighting Uruguay. They need more visitors 🙂 Seriously, the food is surprising and delicious. The beverages are outstanding as well. Watch out for part 2, for even more unique specialties. As a foodie, definitively add Uruguay to your list. Cheers!

Hi Karla, thanks so much for your support and for joining our community. That’s interesting that the food is similar to the food in South Africa. We’ve never been there and would love to visit and discover the local food specialties. Looking forward to sharing more in part 2. Cheers 🙂

That’s awesome Ann that you have tried Mate before. Adding sugar made it much more tolerable. The Tannat is amazing. Look for it at your local liquor store. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks Briana, so glad you enjoyed reading about Montevideo and the unique local specialities.

Hi Piritta, so glad you enjoyed reading the post and discovering the foods of Uruguay. Hopefully, your travels will take you to the region soon 🙂 Thanks for your comments.

You are most welcome Eloise. It is too bad that Uruguay is often overlooked. The food is amazing with unique specialties. Do consider Montevideo on your travels 🙂 Cheers!

Thanks Mel 🙂 That’s interesting about longganisa. We’ll be in the Philippines later this year, so can’t wait to try this out. Hope you can get to taste Mate soon, it is an acquired taste, but good for you 🙂 Thanks for your comments.
