Iguazu Falls for Dinner





I wish I could remember the name of this place. But I can tell you that tonight's dinner was absolutely memorable - the drinks (caipirinha morangos), the food, and the company - que magnifique.

*Caipirinha (pronounced [kaj.pi.'ɾĩ.jɐ]) or [KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH]) is Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça (pronounced IPA: [ˌkaˈʃasɐ]), sugar and lime. Cachaça is Brazil's most common distilled alcoholic beverage. Like rum, it is made from sugarcane. Cachaça is made from sugarcane alcohol, obtained from the fermentation of sugarcane juice which is afterwards distilled.

Really? I don't remember them asking , "Would you like carcinogens with that empanada?"

Parilla




The Spanish word parrilla (/pa'riʎa/ or /pa'riʝa/) means a cooking grill or barbecue of the type commonly found in South American countries. By gruesome analogy, the metal frame used in the torture was given the same name because of its appearance and because the victim was placed on top of it like the meat on a barbecue. The parrilla is both the metal frame and the method of torture that uses it.
