ULTIMATE ASADO ARSENAL

TIPILIUKE LODGE HAD A REALLY GREAT LITTLE GIFT SHOP WITH THESE AMAZING HAND MADE GAUCHO KNIFES. THE HANDLES ARE MADE FROM THE RED STAG HORN OFF THE PROPERTY AND THE DETAILS ON THE HANDLE AND SCABBARD ARE IN STERLING SILVER.  

BBQ TOOLS WITH STAG HANDLES

FROM THE LOCAL GAUCHO SHOP

(FARM SHOP/HARDWARE STORE)

THIS IS BY FAR IS ONE OF THE BEST BBQ INVENTIONS I HAVE SCENE. IT WAS PROBABLY CONCEIVED BY SOME DUDE WHO WAS SICK OF PUSHING OFF DOZENS OF SAUSAGES AND CHORIZO FROM HIS BBQ FORK. I JUST THINK THIS THING IS GENIUS.

THE TRIGGER MECHANISM...

THAT PUSHES THE PLATE FORWARD AND THE SAUSAGE OFF THE FORK.

WILD BOAR HUNT PATAGONIA

TO WAKE UP TO THIS VIEW IS SIMPLY AMAZING. KNOWING THIS LANDSCAPE IS HOME TO MANY WILD BOAR TO STALK AND HUNT IS EPIC.

NEXT STOP ASADO

THE EUROPEANS THAT SETTLED PATAGONIA BROUGHT MANY EXAMPLES OF THEIR NATIVE SPECIES WITH THEM TO ARGENTINA AND THEY FLOURISHED IN PATAGONIA. NOT ONLY TROUT, RUSSIAN BOAR, (NOW CONSIDERED AN INVASIVE SPECIES, HENCE THE NEED TO CULL) CALIFORNIA QUAIL AND RED STAGS THAT GET ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE DOWN THERE.  SEE BELOW

ASADO

WHEN I TOLD MY FRIEND I WAS HEADING TO SOUTH AMERICA HE SAID "AH, ARGENTINA WHERE CHICKEN IS A VEGETABLE" HE WAS RIGHT, IT WAS A MEAT FEST AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. (JUST HAD A FULL RUN OF MEDS AND FOUND SURPRISING LOW CHOLESTEROL…) ASADO - BRING IT!

THE PIT

WE WERE DRINKING THESE VINTAGE BOTTLES OF ZAPATA LIKE WATER. THESE VERY RARELY FIND THERE WAY TO THE STATES AND ARE VERY SPECIAL INDEED.

THANKS CATENA ZAPATA AND AGAIN EDDIE BAUER
