Argentina culture people, food and festivals
Modern Argentine culture has been largely influenced by Italian,Spanish and other European immigration, although there are lesser elements of Amerindian and African influences, particularly in the fields of music and art.
Historic holidays include the celebration of the May Revolution (25 May),Independence Day (9 July), National Flag Day (20 June) and the death of José de San Martín (17 August). The extended family gathers on Christmas Eve at around 9 p.m. for dinner, music, and often dancing.
Argentine achievements can be found both in team sports such as association football, basketball, field hockey and rugby union, and individual sports such as boxing, golf,tennis and rowing. Pato, the national sport, is not very popular.
Typical foods[edit] Dulce de leche, a popular national spread used to fill cakes and pancakes, eaten over toast, and as an ice cream flavor. Most regions of Argentina are known for their beef-oriented diet. In Argentina the Spanish term,"Carne", which meansmeat, is assumed to be beef in Argentina.
