I assume the barbecue was no place for a vegetarians. My memories of Argentinian and less so Brazilian barbecues were that the load of meat eaten by most participants was humungous and I come from one of the chief barbecuing countries. Ths slabs of steaks hanging over the side of the plates, the infinite variety of sausages and body parts eaten in Argentina boggles the mine. I wonder how vegetarians survive in Argentina.
As for cockroaches well here they grow to about 7 to 8 cm and they fly as well as scuttle everywhere. I remember as a child a cockroach ran across my forehead in bed and ran up my body across my shoulders and down again while I was doing my homework. My parents' house backs onto a storm water drain where they breed. At night you can hear them in between the walls, they crawl up from under the house and scratch and scratch. Needless to say I never do sleep well at my parents' house. All the insecticide sprayed seems to make no difference to their numbers. Do you know the children's band, the Wiggles? They were once a not particularly successful pub band called The Cockroaches. Their name said it all in explaining their popularity.*g*
