Anyway, in the back they sell "Chimichuri" by the kilo, maybe $48. 00 pesos per dried kilo which would be a lot of Jimmy.
Nuts, and raisins and apricots and chocolate covered everything too.
The hand-made stuff inSan Telmo and Recoleta is ONLY on the weekends.

Haven't checked out San Telmo yet, and may have to check out Recoleta again tomorrow.
I thought I had a decent price on the airfare I bought end of November until I saw the prices on Monday, $200 LESS! Dangit! LOL,

They probably already have some at home.
Inexpensive hand-made jewelry in San Telmo on the weekends or in Recoleta works wonders as far as trinkets and gifts for friends but I don't know if your in BA or in Rio?

P.S - "Prime" Rubbers are Sub-Prime and ,oh well , I would'nt know much about condoms but I do know that they are not worth bringing back home.

I've been looking for something for a couple of brazileiras I will be seeing in a few days, but all I am seeing so far is crap, can't seem to find anything small, cute, and funny, other than chicas (smiley face).

Posts: 746Thanks TM.
What all do you need to add to the packaged dry spices? From other posts I gather olive oil and vinegar. Anything else?
Thanks, Bob.

Ps. Chimi pro tip. Our US vinegar products seem to be stronger than the argentine counter parts. Although the receipe calls for 1 part vinegar and 1 part olive oil to 1 part of seasonings, you get best results reducing the vinegar portion by 50 percent. Just my dos centavos. Toymann

Posts: 132I usually bring home a few bottles of wine, usually Malbecs or blends. Also, Alfajores from Havanna seem to go over well, especially over the holidays.
There's plenty of shitty wine for sale, so choose carefully. Anything by Vistalba (Corte A or B) or O. Fornier (Alfa or Beta Crux) is of fairly high quality. Mid-range you can't go wrong with a Luigi Bosca DOC or Norton Reserva.
Regarding chimi-churri, I always buy the pre-mixed packages of dry herbs and spices. Though that can be hit or miss as there are so many different variations; I usually end up adding chopped fresh parsley to the mix, which defeats the purpose of a gift. Anyway, I've never had any problems with the airlines.

1. Those fake bolos that the cowboys use.

3. Spices for Chimi-Churri (I'm 95% you can get these through customes, I seem to remember that dried spices aren't considered food, but check the web site)
4. Obscure tango CD's.
5. Mate's and Bombillas, I don't know if you're going to be here until next Sunday but there is a couple on Defensa, right by the bench with Mafalda http://goo.gl/maps/au1h2 That do custom ones that are nice. They made me a pair with Steelers logo.
Hope this helps
