A Few of My Favourite Things

How can it be that one country exports some of my absolute favourite things of all time? My most delicious vices? How clever is that? Here are a few of the things Argentina allows herself to trade in the free market. (No wonder I want to visit!)

Men

Wine

Handmade shoes

Steak

Music

Dance

Sex

The 1930s and '40s

Alpha arrogance

Gender roles

Opportunism

Chips on the shoulders

Red-blooded drama

Simmering scandal

Tempestuous intrigue

Fastidious dress, bath, and perfume codes

Philosophy

Early Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals

….I have yet to get similarly excited about empanadas and alfajores, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
