Clue explained
An asado is a South American barbecue, especially associated with Argentina and Uruguay. The word can mean both the meal and the gathering around it, where meat is cooked slowly over a wood or charcoal fire. In Argentina, an asador tends the fire and cooks on a parrilla, a grill; the long, shared meal is as much a social occasion as a way of preparing food.
