"What beefsteak is to Argentina, flamenco to Spain,……" — George Mikes

What beefsteak is to Argentina, flamenco to Spain, cool reserve and self-control… - George Mikes
"What beefsteak is to Argentina, flamenco to Spain, cool reserve and self-control in all situations to an Englishman, what vodka is to a Russian and beer to a Bavarian, what money is to a Swiss, that is outdoor-life to an Australian. It is a noble mania, better than vodka, better than cool reserve, better than money."
