Because the Uruguayan people are so connected to their nature and all its elements, the cuisine reflects a variety of combinations, tastes, mixes and ingenious work. The Uruguayan chefs and cooks that live in the surrounding of diverse waters established a cuisine focused on fish and seafood. Still, Uruguayan people enjoy breeding animals, such as sheep and cows, which are used mostly for the meat (highly exploited in the local cuisine) and the wool. This is the reason why the Uruguayan people invented so many kinds of dishes that are based on beef meat, including their famous sausages and spiced organs. All these meat meals require high knowledge, skills and creativity, but also preciseness, qualities owned by the Uruguayan cooks and famous chefs. The regional influences and ethnic heritage affected the Uruguayan cuisine and lifestyle of the people, as Uruguay is reflecting the general culinary trends and influences of all the Latin countries, especially Argentina.
