General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Hi, does anyone familiar with Uruguay know what this is? There is no more context but it seems to be some kind of barbecue. I have found quite a few references on the internet, but none explaining exactly what it is. I'm not sure about the "fraterno" part. Does the term just mean that it's a social event where people get together?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

friendship barbecue
This kind of event occurs between, for example, football teams, when the rival supporters get together before a match and have what they call a "friendship barbecue", although where I live, it's usually a paella.
AKA "paella of brotherhood"

It's a sort of gesture of friendship/brotherhood between rival groupings, usually linked with some kind of sporting event, but not always.

NB: @Robert. IT IS MORE THAN JUST A BARBIE WITH FRIENDS. Admittedly, it doesn't translate readily into snappy English, and sits better in newspaper headlines. For example, when Glasgow Celtic FC come to Vila Real:
"La Agrupación de Peñas ha organizado una comida de hermandad con los seguidores escoceses. Así, se prepararán dos paellas, una para 2.000 personas a las 13.00 horas y otra para 3.000 a las 15.00 horas, ambas preparadas por el cocinero José Becerra. Además, también se preparará una gran tortilla de patatas para unas 2.000 personas. Todo ello regado con cerveza. "
The example here is paella, but in big meat-eating countries like Argentina and Uruguay un "asado" or barbecue will fulfil the same, quasi-official function.

Comment: "Thank you for the explanation, it was very helpful. The suggestion of "friendship barbecue" sounded a bit odd to me in English, though, so in the end I used the term in Spanish with an explanation given in brackets:
They met at an "asado fraterno" (a barbecue organised to promote fellow-feeling and friendship). Thanks again! "

Uruguayan "asado" (barbecue) with friends
Good afternoon, I live in Uruguay. "Asado fraterno" is not a common expression here. I guess, it must refer to have a barbecue with friends.
A good expression could be: a Uruguayan "asado" with friends

: "With friends" certainly sounds more natural than "friendship" to me (which sounds like some kind of attempt at indoctrination into a cult to me for some reason :-)

: Más que un simple barbacoa entre amigos, es algo más entre peñas, y cuasi oficial.
