Brasilian Food

One thing that is always a question when one goes abroad is how will the food be. And as it is the holidays and everyone is visiting family and eating many different delicious plates of food, I thought it would be a perfect time to talk about some of the typical Brasilian foods that I have encountered while here.

Probably my favorite thing to eat here is Açaí. It is quite hard to really describe what it taste like, but if you are ever given a chance to try it it is something that you can not pass up! 

Coxinha: It is basically chicken in a cone shape of fried bread. 

Churrasco is something very popular here. It is a BBQ, but with many different types of meats, and many different cuts of meat, its is much more than steaks, hamburgers, and hot dogs. 

Brigadeiro: this sweet is made with condensed milk and chocolate powder. 

Farofa is cooked flour, and sometimes has other ingredients with it that is normally consumed with rice .

Pastels: these are made of some form of meat or seafood, with some sauce and then is fried. 

Pão de Queijo : or Cheesy Bread, it is bread that is has cheese baked into it. 

Suco: Although not a food, it is still a very popular thing to consume. It is not though like the juices in the states, as it comes in many different fruits.  

Arroz e Feijões aka Rice and Beans is a very typical thing to find here, and a good majority of all meals will be serviced with rice. If you mix some meats into the beans then you get feijoada

These are just some of the popular foods here in Brasil, and there are many more out there, as well as others that depend on where you live. 

Until Next Time
