Every nation has its own food preferences. And sometimes, having emigrated somewhere, you begin to miss your usual dishes. The same thing happened to me. When I moved to Brazil, I realized that Brazilians had never even heard of many of the dishes I loved so much. Now I\u2019ll tell you in more detail what food combinations and products shock the inhabitants of exotic Brazil.<\/p>\n

And in the first place on this list, of course, are our familiar dairy products. Cheeses, sour cream, kefir, cottage cheese – you won\u2019t find all this on supermarket shelves. And all because instead of our popular cheesecakes for breakfast, Brazilians will prefer something floury. Cheeses will be replaced with sugary sweet chocolates. Pancakes will be prepared with milk instead of kefir, and they don\u2019t need sour cream at all. But don't despair right away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you still want to cook something familiar from dairy products, you can always find a replacement. Replace cottage cheese with ricotta, and sour cream with coalhada – a natural<\/a> dairy product, which is obtained by fermenting milk. And in one of the stores I even noticed a bottle of kefir, although 500 ml of the drink cost $3.5.<\/p>\n

You may ask, how can you eat soup without sour cream? So, the soup will take second place on our list. Soup, as we usually understand it, is very rare in Brazil. I can\u2019t even believe that somewhere on our earth they don\u2019t eat soup. Brazilians prefer mashed potatoes rather than soup. Their dish is very thick in consistency. And, of course, you will either have to forget about the usual borscht, sorrel soup or cold soup, or cook it yourself.<\/p>\n

The third place of unknown products on Brazilian soil is herring. Our favorite “herring under a fur coat” can be found in restaurants specializing in the cuisine, but be prepared for salmon instead of herring. Perhaps someone will even like this combination, but for me, this is not at all the same. After all, salmon adds sweetness to the salad, while we are accustomed to a saltier version. Despite the fact that the ocean is just a stone's throw away, the fish here is prepared either baked or grilled. No one knows about such a method as smoking. In this connection, smoked mackerel, pink salmon and other types can be added to the list of products far from Brazil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We deservedly put buckwheat and pearl barley in fourth place. Yes, yes, it would seem that such simple porridges, which we can eat as a side dish almost every day, are absolutely unknown to Brazilians. In Brazil, unlike many other countries, it is almost impossible to find a grocery store. In this connection, the longing for buckwheat and barley intensifies. Also, there is no millet and semolina, but there is plenty of rice and beans. There are peas here, however, they are green.<\/p>\n
