Chivito

Chivito is a delectable dish that exists in two distinct variations, one from Argentina and the other from Uruguay.

In Argentina, "chivito" refers to the grilled meat of a young goat. This differs from "cabrito" which is sourced from an even younger goat. Chivito meat is celebrated for its delicate flavor, which is less gamey than other types of goat meat. It is typically cooked on a grill or a cross, imparting a unique and savory taste. If you find yourself in Malargüe, Argentina, you can participate in the annual Chivito Festival, a celebration dedicated to this delightful dish.

Conversely, in Uruguay, "chivito" denotes a popular and mouth-watering sandwich made with beef, not goat meat. This sandwich is highly customizable, featuring ingredients such as egg, bacon, ham, lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayonnaise. It is a favorite among locals and has even garnered international acclaim from publications like The Daily Meal for its exceptional and delicious flavor.
