Hi there! Here are top 3 foods for you to try in Brazil!
Barbecued meat
Brazil is best known for premium cut meats
(most popular being picanha, rump cap) which is seasoned with salt mostly
before being grilled to pink. It is used on charcoal or wood and home barbeques
are the most popular with the use of sausages, queijo coalho (cheese on a
stick) and churrascarias (babrbeque style steakhouses). A variety of meat is
available and it is delicious!
Cachaça
It is a fermented sugarcane juice known for
its fiery kick in caipirinhas which is Brazil’s national cocktail. It is
usually made with uncoloured, unaged cachacas, but there are many varieties
available too. It can be sipped straight up by aficionados. Its strong nature
adds for a morning drink called Guarana which is sweet and fizzy. Coconut water
is also drank for energy and refreshment. This drink has been passed on since
the 1950s and is a Brazilian staple.
Brigadeiros
This is a Brazilian chocolate truffle. The
little balls are made of condensed milk and cocoa powder and whisked in butter
to shape and decorate. It is sprinkled with chocolate or any other toppings
wanted. It will definitely give kids, adults and sweet tooths a sugar rush but
is definitely worth the calories! Brazilians are very loyal to their
Brigadeiros and always suggest this to tourists.
