Hive Food - Chicken, ketchup, cream, rice and fries: lunch with a Brazilian and his curious recipe. / Pollo, ketchup, crema, arroz y papas fritas: almorzando con un brasilero y su curiosa receta. 😃❤️

One of the things I like most about hostel life and meeting people from all over the world is having the chance to try some of the typical dishes of their countries. In general, the hostel atmosphere is always good and most people are eager to cook something to surprise their new casual friends. During my volunteering stay in Ushuaia I had met Iuri, a guy from Brazil who was about to continue his trip without cooking us any food he liked. But as fate and the weather wanted him to do it anyway, we all ended up trying his version of Strogonoff 😃.

Una de las cosas que más me gusta de la vida de hostel y conocer gente de todas partes, es tener la posibilidad de probar algunos platos típicos de sus países. En lo general, el ambiente de hostel siempre es bueno y la mayoría de las personas tienen ganas de cocinar algo para sorprender a sus nuevos amigos ocasionales. Durante mi estadía de voluntariado en Ushuaia había conocido a Iuri, un chico de Brasil que estuvo a punto de continuar su viaje sin cocinarnos ninguna comida que le gustara. Pero como el destino y el clima quisieron que lo hiciera de todos modos, todos terminamos probando su versión de Strogonoff 😃.

Iuri was doing a nomadic trip in the south of Argentina and had managed to exchange work for accommodation in the same hostel as me. In total, he spent about 10 days wandering around Ushuaia, but as he was quite solitary, we didn't do that much together that time. When he announced that he would continue his trip by hitchhiking on a Monday, on Sunday I encouraged him to accompany me to a Tango class so that he could say goodbye to Ushuaia with a very Argentinean souvenir. The next morning, he left early with his backpack to try to get a free transfer on the road.

Iuri estaba haciendo un viaje nómade por el sur de Argentina y había conseguido hacer un intercambio de trabajo por alojamiento en el mismo hostel que yo. En total, estuvo unos 10 días paseando por Ushuaia, pero como era bastante solitario, no hicimos tantas cosas juntos ese tiempo. Cuando anunció que continuaría su viaje haciendo dedo un lunes, el domingo lo animé a acompañarme a una clase de Tango como para que se despidiera de Ushuaia con un recuerdo bien argentino. A la mañana siguiente, salió temprano con su mochila para intentar conseguir un traslado gratis en la ruta.

We had all said an emotional goodbye to him, but around midday we saw him return. It turned out that the morning had been very cold and windy, and on top of that, he couldn't get anyone to make the long trip out of town. After freezing for a few hours waiting without success, he decided to return to the hostel so that he could try again the next day. That's when the hostel owner jokingly told him that he should ‘pay off’ his stay with lunch for everyone. Iuri accepted with some embarrassment, but I immediately told him that I would go with him to buy the ingredients he needed and that we would, of course, split the costs.

Todos nos habíamos despedido emotivamente de él, pero cerca del mediodía lo vimos regresar. Resultó que la mañana había estado muy fría y ventosa, y sumado a eso, no logró conseguir a nadie que hiciera un viaje largo hacia las afueras de la ciudad. Después de estar unas horas congelándose esperando sin éxito, decidió regresar al hostel para poder volver a intentarlo al día siguiente. Ahí fue cuando el dueño del hostel, bromeando, le dijo que debía "saldar" su estadía con un almuerzo para todos. Iuri aceptó con un poco de vergüenza, pero enseguida yo le dije que lo acompañaría a comprar los ingredientes que necesitara y que por supuesto, repartiríamos los gastos.

When I asked him what dish he wanted to surprise us with, he immediately thought of Strogonoff. I asked him if this was something they ate in Brazil and he said yes, although I was surprised by the name because it didn't sound Brazilian at all. It was a sauce made with chicken, cream and ketchup, a combination not very common at least in the things I cook regularly. On the other hand, he boiled rice to go with it and the dish was topped off with some fried crisps on top. I had already tried a dish similar to this when I was travelling in the north of Argentina, but of course, every cook adds his or her own special touch.

Cuando le pregunté con qué plato nos quería sorprender, inmediatamente pensó en Strogonoff. Le pregunté si esto era algo que comían en Brasil y me dijo que si, aunque me sorprendió el nombre porque no sonaba para nada brasilero. Se trataba de una salsa hecha con pollo, crema y ketchup, una combinación no muy común al menos en las cosas que yo cocino regularmente. Por otro lado, hirvió arroz para acompañar y el plato se completaba con un poco de papas fritas pay encima. Yo ya había probado un plato similar a este cuando estaba viajando por el norte de Argentina, pero por supuesto, cada cocinero añade su toqeu especial

In total, there were 5 of us who had Iuri's Strogonoff for lunch, and it was quite economical to prepare. For the 1 kg rice we paid $2, the ketchup cost just over $1, the cream $3, the fries $2, the juices $0.5 and the most expensive was the chicken, one kg for about $8. In total, we each spent almost $4 but we were able to have a different lunch (and best of all, I didn't have to cook this time). What do you think of these prices 😃?

En total, fuimos 5 personas las que almorzamos el Strogonoff de Iuri, y prepararlo fue bastante económico. Por el arroz de 1 kg pagamos $2, el ketchup costó poco más de $1, la crema de leche $3, las papas fritas $2, los jugos $0,5 y lo más costoso fue el pollo, un kg por unos $8. En total, cada uno gastó casi $4 pero pudimos tener un almuerzo diferente (y lo mejor de todo, yo no tuve que cocinar esta vez). ¿Qué te parecen estos precios 😃?

It was a pity that we had to socialise a bit more with Iuri just as he was about to leave, but at least we were able to share a farewell lunch with each other. The next day, the weather was more favourable and he was able to hitchhike his way to the north of Argentina. I wonder where he is now, as he doesn't share much on his social networks either. I hope that, wherever he is, he is encouraged to share his dish with others, because we liked it so much that there were no crumbs left 😂.

Fue una pena que hayamos sociabilizado un poco más con Iuri justo cuando estuvo a punto de irse, pero al menos pudimos compartir un almuerzo de despedida entre todos. Al día siguiente, el clima lo acompañó más y pudo conseguir su viaje a dedo camino al norte de Argentina. Me pregunto por donde estará actualmente, ya que tampoco comparte mucho en sus redes sociales. Espero que, donde sea que esté, se anime a compartir su plato con otros, porque a nosotros nos gustó tanto que no quedaron ni unas migajas de nada 😂.

Compartir la comida casera es una costumbre muy grata, cada quien tiene su toque personal.

La publicación me recordó un canal de YouTube que suelo seguir muy interesante, llamado: VientoDelOeste.

Hay cantidad de recetas raras de la época de la depresión de los años cincuenta y recetas raras que son muy sabrosas.

Tengo pendiente hacer un par de recetas, son extrañas, sencillas y se ven sabrosas.

The best thing about meeting people, especially from other countries, is the opportunity to learn about their customs and culinary culture. These are things that make relationships between people thrive.

It's great that Iuri taught you her version of Stroganoff. I had heard about this dish, but honestly, I didn't know about it.

What a beautiful farewell with a delicious meal, and what a wonderful memory, the excitement of dancing to a music so unique to us, like the tango.

Thank you so much, dear friend @lauramica, for sharing other experiences of yours in this beautiful city.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Luis, thank you very much for stopping by ❤️. This was an incredible day and lunch 😊.

Have a great weekend 😄

Hi @lauramica, that food looks really good. As you ask about the price of all the ingredients in the dish, I will tell you that, unlike other occasions, this time the prices seem to me to be fine.
I would also like to say goodbye and wish Iuri all the best, wherever he is.

Best regards.

Hola @lauramica, esa comida se ve muy bien. Como preguntas por lo que nos parece el precio de todos los ingredientes del plato te diré que, al contrario de otras ocasiones, esta vez los precios me parece que están bien.

Para despedirme también le deseo a Iuri que le vaya bien, allá donde esté.

Un saludo muy grande.

Hola, gracias por pasar ❤️. Si, creo que en Argentina los precios están relativamente bien, lo malo son los salarios jajaja

Hola @lauramica. Cuál es el sueldo básico o mínimo en Argentina?

Meeting new friends is really nice especially friends that knows how to do cooking because for me it's a blessing when your friend would feed you a good food.

Yes, we have a lot of lucky 😊

When we make anything at home, the biggest benefit is that we know that we have used good quality products and if everything is good, then the product test is also quite good. You have shared a special recipe with us, so we will definitely try it one day.

Absolutely ❤️

Yeah ❤️

Argentina, que país tan especial, y espero que sea un destino próximo para mí. Este platillo luce delicioso, y eventualmente lo he probado, aunque nunca me he atrevido a prepararlo en casa, parece una idea perfecta para consentir a mi familia, así que tomaré notas de aquí, muchas gracias. ¡Feliz Sábado!.

Espero que pronto puedas venir a visitarnos ❤️.

Saludos!

Tuvieron un cocinero estrella por un día, valió la pena que se devolviera. Aunque hay que decirle a Luri que debe emplatar un poco mejor 😅. Imagino que estaba delicioso, pues esos ingredientes juntos nunca fallan.

Jajaja la presentación no nos impidió comer todo 😂

Imagino que sí 😅😅

I didn't even need to read the post to know it was Stroganoff, something practical, tasty and cheap to prepare.

You're such a good friend, and that meal looks good,at first I thought it was tuna😅 and I read it was chicken, that's how the look of tuna we prepare in our country hehe, 4$ is already a pair price as 5 people have eaten a meal❤️
