Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.

Also I'm double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.

I totally agree, you can't get most Argentines to eat anything different from milanesas, pasta and asado. Drinks too, you get hundreds if not thousands of different soft drinks and juices in other countries, here its just cola, fanta and sprite kind of beverages.

And I never heard of wood being served in restaurants.

Really? I'm surprised.
