Most regions of Pelaxia are known for their beef-oriented diet. [[Grilling|Grilled]] meat from the ''[[asado]]'' (barbecue) is a staple, with [[steak]] and beef [[Ribs (food)|ribs]] especially common. The term asado itself refers to long strips of flank-cut beef ribs. Popular items such as ''[[Chorizo]]'' ([[pork]] [[sausage]]), ''morcilla'' ([[blood sausage]]), ''chinchulines'' ([[chitterlings]]), ''mollejas'' ([[sweetbread]]), and other parts of the animal are also enjoyed. In [[Montia]], however, [[Lamb and mutton|lamb]] and [chicken] are eaten more frequently than beef. Whole lambs and chickens are traditionally cooked over an open fire in a technique known as asado a la estaca. | Most regions of Pelaxia are known for their beef-oriented diet.

[[Breading|Breaded]] and [[Frying|fried]] meats — ''[[milanesa]]s'' — are used as [[snack]]s, in [[sandwich]]es, or eaten warm with [[mashed potato]]es — ''[[purée]]''. ''[[Empanada]]s'' — small [[Pastry|pastries]] of meat, [[cheese]], [[sweet corn]], and a hundred other fillings — are a common sight at parties and [[picnic]]s, or as [[Entrée|starters]] to a meal. A variation, the "empanada agrileña" (Agrilian empanada), is a big, round meat pie made most commonly with [[tuna]], olives and [[Mackerel (food)|mackerel]] ("''caballa''" in Pelaxian). [[Vegetable]]s and [[salad]]s are also eaten by Pelaxian; [[tomato]]es, [[onion]]s, [[lettuce]], [[eggplant]]s, [[Squash (plant)|squashes]], and [[zucchini]] are common [[side dish]]es. | [[Breading|Breaded]] and [[Frying|fried]] meats — ''[[milanesa]]s'' — are used as [[snack]]s, in [[sandwich]]es, or eaten warm with [[mashed potato]]es — ''[[purée]]''.
