I’m just looking to understand in this tweet storm why in Argentina we have railroads by the British, cows and milk, but no good cheese.
Always thought that it was something related to war, since we didn’t need to rationalize food so much (just without researching anything) but interested on your takepic.twitter.com/r7R65zeNVi
I imagine several factors: * Less lactase persistence leads to more beef & less dairy * Hard cheese is generally a northern rather than Mediterranean tradition, based on their cows lactation cycle * Refrigeration made hard cheese less necessary
@TokenHash British vs. Argentine vs. Spanish pastoral agriculture?
16th to 18th centuries Buenos Aires colonizers lived off hunting (yes hunting! a.k.a. 'vaquerías') the originally Spanish cattle the conquistadores brought from southern Spain.
Makes sense! Costless to let them breed & feed on the vast new pastures, so no point in securing property rights in that part of their cycle under such conditions.
Thank you both! Interesting
