Why did people hate Eva Peron?

She was loved by millions and also hated by many people. Commoners, the poor & working class Argentines were usually the ones who loved her. Those who hated her tended to be from the upper classes where they looked down on her humble origins as the daughter of a man's mistress. After her father died, she, her mother and her siblings were left poor and shunned. When she reached sexual maturity, Eva had a string of relationships with increasingly powerful and influential men as her way of improving her lot in life. Many saw this as immoral and scandalous. Others looked, and look, at this behavior more sympathetically or even with admiration: They see a poor, downtrodden woman with the courage, smarts and looks to be able to improve her lot as well as the lot of many common Argentines in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Is food in Argentina influenced by European countries?

Argentine cuisine is mostly of European origin since the two largest immigration currents in Argentina are from Spain and Italy though a period of about 500 years. There is also French, English, German, Portuguese, etc. influence. There are native dishes (American Indian) like for example Tamales Tucumanos, from the province of Tucumán, very similar to Mexican tamales, but rarely found on any menus outside of their original region. Argentina being a big cattle breeder includes beef and chicken on most dishes. Pasta is very popular too. You would also find good paella and seafood caceroles of Spanish origin. Argentine food is never spicy as opposed to most Latin American countries. A lot of garlic and parsley (Italian variety) throughout. Great cheeses, dairy products, jams, wines (excellent). Bread and pastries are outstanding too, comparable to many European countries. If you visit, you must have: Bife de Chorizo (thick tender juicy steak), milanesas (argentine version of weinerschnitzel), agnolotti, tortellini, gnocchi (ñoquis), asado of course (argentine BBQ), flan con dulce de leche (caramel custard pudding), etc, etc, etc. Gotta go, this is making me hungry already. Good luck.
