To pick up where I left off, last Saturday after a full day at the zoo, Brad and I went over to our good friend Pauli’s house (her family had me over for my first asado—sorry, I keep forgetting to get the James Taylor rendition!) for pollo al disco. For anyone who’s been to a Mexican restaurant, you should know pollo is chicken. However, this is not chicken doing the disco.
Pollo al disco is a typical Argentinean dish, which originates from farm workers in rural areas who used to cook on a plow disc. See photo below.
Our new friend Cristian was the grill master for the evening—it seems among the young couples I’ve met so far in Mendoza, the men do most of the cooking! Including my relationship with Brad 
Brad also finally tried the infamous Fernet, which is a very sour aperitif that is commonly drank here mixed with coke. I actually kinda like it but that’s probably because mine are 90% coke. Brad is trying to pretend to like it—not a very good actor…
Finally, one last discovery for the night: BOP IT also exists in Argentina. See video below.
