Brazilian Food
Here is just a little sampling of the food I had while in Brazil. Yes, I do look like a tourist when taking pictures of my food, but it is worth remembering later. Taking pictures of my food is one of the weirder habits I have acquired but one I'm not willing to give up. Just look at all this good food!
Beef stuffed with carrots and something else, BBQ chicken, garlic rice and noodles.
Brahma- one of Brazil's local brews
BBQ on the stick
Mystery meat described as 'fish'
The dessert I didn't order-- flan.
Traditional Brazilian meal (i.e. rice, beans, and meat)
Another Brazilian meal
The coffee set up in Mario's apartment... mmm, freshly brewed and ten times as strong as coffee in the States. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth all day.
Cheesy biscuit-- the best thing I tried in Brazil
Freshly squeezed orange juice
Another Brazilian brew
Chicken and spices wrapped in dough and deep fried
Pre-peeled oranges for sale!
Street seller
Corn mash with sweet sauce on top
Green tomatoes, onions, oil, and vinegar
Traditional Brazilian meal with a bonus of French fries and an egg
Guava juice and me-- Frans (my new Dutch friend who explored Sao Paulo with me for a day) said I needed to document that I was getting my vitamins for my mother.
And finally-- Habib's! Two pizza-like items without tomato sauce and with meat and onion on top. It also had "French fries, mango juice, and a surprise" (it came in a kids meal and thus a toy).

I guess I don't need to worry about you going hungry! Glad you're taking your "vitamins" too! Love, Mom
I finally took a moment to read up on yor journey - I am honored to have this opportunity to "travel" with you once again! BBQ meat has taken on a whole new meaning : )
Take care, Mary Ferens
I think the best thing about your blog is that you're comfortable letting your photos tell your story. The post looks great!
My favorite, was the 'mystery meat described as fish' I nearly did a spit-take on that one, LOL. Have you had anything you ordered, but couldn't finish due to its icky taste or texture? It is texture that does me in before the taste.
Two brews half consumed---ummm--whats that about-pics are great and the Benzie folowing is lov'n this take care love dad
Hi,I'm Michiko from Japan.I read about your trip in newspaper!!You've got great oppotunity cus here in Japan it's hard to get that kind of chance.
You're alomost Japanese.hahah You know,many Japanese like to take fotos of eats.I don't like though.Anyway,did you try Guarana and caipirinha?
Good luck to your trip!!
Hey at least its something a little more familiar to eat, right?
Sounds like everything is going well! I finally got to catch up on your posts once I got home without the school blocking blogger! I just love the concept of blogging. If you keep doing this, I would love to use your blog and then have my students write their own as an alternate (and yet more appealing) form of writing. Something to think about. Have fun with the food!
love Jess
I spent the first month here kind of reluctant to take out my camera in restaurants for exactly the reason you mentioned, but lately I've realized that having the pictures to conjure the memories of delicious food is worth the ocassional sideways glance from the waiter. I've enjoyed reading your blog, but especially looking at the food pictures!
When I was in Brazil I liked food a lot. They have such delicious dishes, I have never tried such tasty food before. And moreover I was impressed by its beauty. The nation's natural beauty is reflected in its variety of geographic locations, from Sugar Loaf Mountain in the city of Rio de Janeiro, to the magnificent Iguazu Falls in the south, to the Amazon basin in the North, there's something for almost every taste... snow skiers excepted.
