Cuisine

You must be familiar with the Brasilian national drink Caipirinha. There is a lot more to discover as far as food goes in Brazil: The variety of dishes available is reflected in the size of the country and in the different cultures that have made Brazil their home. African, Portugese and Indian spices play an important role in the preparation of many dishes.
It is almost impossible to describe the food in a country that is bigger than Europe. Every city has its own specialities and distinct favourites. However, similiar basic ingredients are used in almost every region. For instance meat, fish, black beans, rice, corn, maniok, chilli, hot pepper sauce, coconut milk and palm oil. We recommend you give it a try!
