Uruguayan cuisine is typical for temperate countries, high on butter, fat, and grains, low on spice. If you are from the Mediterranean, you will find it bland, but if you come from England or Russia or the Midwestern US, you won't have trouble getting used to it.
- Breakfast for 4 people can cost as little as $58 pesos (US$2) in a supermarket
- 1 box(1 litro) of Tropical Fruit Juice - $30 pesos
- 2 packages(5 ounce each) of coconut biscuits - $28 pesos
There are many public markets where you can get a hundred varieties of meat. Vegetarians can order ravioli just about anywhere.
At bars the local specialty is gramajo, a dish made of fried potatoes, eggs, and ham. If you ask they can make it without the ham. One dish that should not be missed is chivito, a heart-attack-on-a-platter sandwich that combines a combination of excellent Uruguayan meat, tomato, lettuce, onion, eggs, ham, bacon, mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise and fries. The meat is excellent, "asado" is typical from Uruguay (try it at the "del Puerto" market, in Montevideo); the fish and other sea food is good.
