Chori - Delicious Choripan Restaurant in Palermo Soho

[StatusNomadicus]

blood sausage?

yep, Morcilla made into choripan is Morcipan i guess - it's too squishy to be in a sandwich. but i like it on its own in a barbecue mix of meats! sounds gross, tastes great (maybe from my scottish DNA or something)

5% a month

yeah i read 4-5% monthly recently:

or 3.9% monthly in Aug2024. maybe less now? pretty crazy, considering the money-printing and spending the K government and Massa did, to cause 25.5% monthly inflation!

it probably didn't help that they spent money "raiding" cuevas that wouldn't pay their extortion mafia blackmail

and although inflation is 3.9% or whatever per month in Argentina, the USA true inflation numbers are very high as well. even if it's 5% actual inflation per year, there are still obviously HUGE price increases on rent, food, basics, etc.:

A lot like the USA you have to take these inflation figures with a grain of salt. The US removes many things out of their index. Same as Argentina. These numbers in Argentina have mostly always been fudged ever since I lived here. Food prices at the store have slowed down on many things. We won't know the true nature of things until next year.

If crime numbers shoot up because people are robbing others just to get by it won't be good. As a father with kids, that was my biggest fear here if the recession got too bad.

I didn't like that blood sausage on it's own so I don't think I'd like a squishy blood sausage sandwich.

I heard those raids were just for show and the same thing. The ones that didn't pay some blackmail. I still don't know the fake ones from the official ones? The cueva I went in Palermo Soho near my Airbnb had an official sign. But I don't know if that mattered. I went to one in Recoleta and it operated the same way without any signs and I snuck into a back room. I guess this President doesn't care at all vs. before.

Here in US we also had a lot of inflation the last few years. Actually some fast food places are actually going down in price. They are putting in more deals using that restaurants apps. I don't eat fast food much but co-workers do and they said McDonald's is back to having $6 meals. For a while last year some of these were like $13 for a meal. The grocery store is much more than before.

I saw some posts online about shootings in Chacarita and another expat said they are setting motorcycles on fire there in that neighborhood. Are these one off experiences? I didn't see anything like that when I was there.

This is not common. I saw a post on X that talked about that fire to the motorcycle and apparently electrical line caught on fire. Also heard about that shooting in Chacarita. Things like that are not common and I hope don't become normal.

got any links? everything i see on UberEats and other apps in the USA is always still sky-high. i used to think $10 USD would be good to eat out. but after the Lockdowns, it seems like $25 USD is the new norm to go to a basic restaurant.

if Milei/Bullrich start making sure crime is punished (opposite of USA and UK), there won't be higher crime. just depends on what the people want enforced. criminals will commit crimes that they think they can get away with, or aren't scared of the consequences very much

Try going on the restaurants on Apps like McDonald's, Wendy's and I noticed the same thing. Prices have gone done in the USA the past few months. Did not see that last year or beginning of this year but with elections coming maybe they were nudged to lower prices.
