i just went to plaza lama and picked up a nice grill the other day. went to the grocery store to get some meats and charcoal and couldnt find wood chips!!!! you got to be JOKING!!!! i have looked everywhere! nobody even knows what im talking about. they seriously dont smoke any of their meats when they grill here? thats so sad. i was really looking forward to cooking my girlfriend some tasty smoked meats.... i guess i will need to have some shipped here. unless they have hickory trees here..i will seriously go chop one down and drag it back to my apartment so i can enjoy that wonderful smokey flavor once again...anyone have any information about this? also do grocery stores like supermercado nacional carry imported US beef? where are the best places to go for good meats??? i dont know whats up with the ground beef here but its not cutting it. what do they feed the cows?? its so dry and hard...flavorless i cant figure out how it could be so different from US beef.
