Uruguay’s Regions — a note

Comparison

⚠ A WARNING ROW. Uruguay is small, flat and almost entirely grassland, and its food varies less by region than most countries in this corpus — which is itself worth stating rather than inventing nineteen regional cuisines. What does differ: MONTEVIDEO, holding roughly a third of the population, with the markets, the immigrant kitchens and the restaurant trade; the INTERIOR / campaña, with cattle, the estancia and the asado; the LITORAL on the Uruguay river, with citrus at Salto and Paysandú; the ATLANTIC COAST of Rocha and Maldonado, with fishing and summer tourism; and the BRAZILIAN BORDER at Rivera, Artigas and Cerro Largo, which is bilingual and eats accordingly.

What is recorded

  • Uruguay is small, largely flat grassland, and its foodways vary less by region than most national systems in this corpus. That is recorded as an observation rather than compensated for by inventing nineteen departmental cuisines. The documented distinctions are Montevideo, the interior campaña, the littoral, the Atlantic coast and the Brazilian border. documented
