Quote: DRich

A good burger needs nothing on it.

unless you are desperate for calories.
I've never felt fish should taste of mayonaise, tartar or vinegar saue.
spices should enhance flavor and retard spoilage, not smother a product.

The Argentine Great Depression was an economic depression in Argentina, which began in the third quarter of 1998 and lasted until the second quarter of 2002.
The depression, which began after the Russian and Brazilian financial crises, caused widespread unemployment, riots, the fall of the government, a default on the country's foreign debt, the rise of alternative currencies and the end of the peso's fixed exchange rate to the US dollar. The economy shrank by 28 percent from 1998 to 2002. In terms of income, over 50 percent of Argentines lived below the official poverty line and 25 percent were indigent (their basic needs were unmet); seven out of ten Argentine children were poor at the depth of the crisis in 2002.

The US dollar became legal tender in Ecuador on March 13, 2000, and sucre notes ceased being legal tender on September 11.

Argentina seriously considered switching to the USD at around the same time, as it was estimated that there was a USD banknote in Argentina at roughly the ratio of 1 to 2 with Argentine banknotes. But Argentina didn't switch, but a decade later it was rumored that Argentina was suppressing the price of Big Macs to score higher on the Big Mac Index being conducted every 6 months.
