Beef banned
Most Argentines are facing a week without their favourite food — grilled steak — because of a Government ban on beef sales. Cattle outnumber people by two to one in Argentina, a country famed for beef exports and the huge steaks served daily at its dinner tables, and domestic beef demand is growing. But the Government has imposed a seven-day ban on beef sales in shops and restaurants in the main population centres to control fresh meat prices, which rose 30 per cent in February. Chicken is the main alternative meat dish this week, since pork and lamb are more expensive than beef and the Argentinians are not big fish-eaters. — Buneos Aires.
