Argentines are expected to eat the most beef in five years in 2023, extending the country's reign as the No. 1 steak consumer per capita despite the painful impact of 109-percent inflation on food prices, a Rosario grains exchange report showed on Friday. The major beef producer, where 'asado' barbecues are a key part of the culinary culture and steakhouses dot city streets, has seen in recent years beef consumption dip as prices climbed and diners shifted to cheaper chicken and pork. That, however, seems to be partly reversing, even in the face of one of the world's highest inflation rates which has badly hurt spending power.
