Llama

Believe it or not, there's a slice of llama hiding under all that pretty foliage.

Eating llama steak is the norm in Argentina's northwest, given that the camelid is well adapted to the Jujuy province's 2,000-plus meters above sea level altitude.
While its flavor is more rustic and earthy than beef, fat levels are lower, which makes it a healthy alternative.
It can be sampled in empanadas, a stew or as a standalone steak. Some swankier restaurants even use it in carpaccio or tartare.
