I liked your direct comments on steak making culture in America. I have tried steaks cooked in various parts but there is nothing that can be compared to steaks in an real Argentinian restaurant and next to that steaks cooked by a real "regio" in a "carne asada" party. I have not found good steaks in any restaurant in USA except - Fogo de Chavo (Brazilian), Benihana (Japanese) and a few local restaurants in Texas. (I am mentioning only the chain restaurants. There are a few local ones who make excellent stakes too.) Still - anyday I will prefer - "Carne Asada using Cabreria or rib eye with Cebolla Asada with Jalapenos with Maize Tortillas with infinite amount of beer flowing around" OR - "A great tres cuartos grilled rib eye in an Argentinian restaurant like El Gaucho with a half bottle of superb Chianti or Rioja." The only thing that I will eat or drink after this is - either the best made Tiramisu or Martell VSOP (or XO if I can). You try this and I assure that you will prefer to live rest of your day just by yourself doing something that involves just you. Could not resist commenting.

Years later, I still come to the same conclusion: the editors thought the pronunciation was just a little too rude for the sensitive little ears of the readership.

They were shocked to find out that chimichurri was a) reddish in color, b) was not used to both marinate and then later smother the steak, and c) was not fiery spicy. They had attended some sort of major food event in the US not long ago where a whole presentation and demonstration was done on Argentine asados - and the chimichurri was offered up as a) the simple parsley and garlic mixture that we generally just put on fish or chicken, b) the steak was marinated in it for an hour before grilling and then scoops of it were served over the steak, and c) in addition to the parsley, garlic, oil and vinegar, it had several chopped green chilies in it. We had a talk. Had an interesting group this last weekend in for a private dinner.
