Brazil is a large country with a rich cuisine.
Many different ethnic influences are
found,
depending on the region.
In most
meals you will find rice and beans.
Another typical Brazilian food is farofa.
This is
a flour made from manioc root, seasoned
and mixed
with eggs or other ingredients.
There are grilled meats called churrasco.
These
can be chicken, beef or pork.
In the
north, meat is commonly salted and dried,
creating
carne seca (dry meat).
The
national dish is called feijoada
and is a stew made from meat and beans
and
served with farofa, rice, pork meat, kale and orange.
This
dish was originally created by slaves to use
the left
over meat parts given to them by their masters.
African slaves also led to the creation
of
Bahian cuisine.
Among
the specialties in this type of cooking
is moqueca, a seafood stew made with spicy peppers,
palm
oil and coconut milk.
On the street, one can purchase acaraje,
fritters that are made from brown beans,
shrimp, tomato and azeite dendê.
