A quick pre-match snack
Argentina recorded a famous win on Saturday, beating the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first time.
But their real achievement took place on Thursday night, when the Pumas’ touring party of 50 devoured 100kg of meat – 2kg per head. For comparison, a typical supermarket steak is 2-300g.
According to Valentina Marquez from Christchurch restaurant El Quincho, the players wolfed down the following: “A whole lamb [which weighed] 25 to 30 kilos, we had 60-70 chorizo [sausages], we had around 50kg of beef and around 20kg of chicken and pork.”
Surprised they could get out of bed let alone beat the All Blacks…
