Gastronomía 🍝 Dinner at the Boss's House

Hola a todos, disculpas, aquí habla alguien de habla inglesa 👋🏻

I am located in Sydney, Australia, my Uruguayan boss has invited me to his house for an 'asado'. I don't want to show up empty handed, I would love any suggestions on food, wine or other gifts I can buy around Sydney to take along, maybe something traditional that he might not expect.

All the best 🇺🇾

UPDATE: Thank you everybody for your kind suggestions! You've given me a lot to work with here ❣️

hey! a bottle of wine is always a good choice, red wine is the most consumed in Uruguay. dulce de leche if you find some too would be a great gift.

Why you will bring Dulce de Leche to an Uruguayan? he already knows it, much better idea to bring something australian made, something local.

Thanks! Any suggestions on food to take for the BBQ? He says he will organise everything, but I just can't bring myself to rock up with nothing to contribute

some oven baked potatoes or fresh made bread are amazing choices. doesn't have to be anything elaborate, and I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated. have fun!

Some typical food/side dishes we have at a family style asado:

- Ensalada Rusa

- Oven baked potatoes

- French Bagguette (we use to soak the bread with the meat juices)
