Gastronomy is an important part of the culture of<\/a> any country. And it has long been accepted as a rule that in a new place you need to visit the most popular establishments and try local dishes. In Brazil, in turn, it will not be easy to stay hungry, because there is almost a cult of food here. It's simply impossible to resist! What is it that Brazilians themselves cannot do without a single meal? Let's figure it out.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/h2>\n

Even though Port<\/a> Gaelic is spoken in Brazil, the word breakfast is different in Portugal and Brazil. In the country of carnivals it is called caf\u00e9 da manh\u00e3 (cafe da manha). Typically, Brazilians don't skip their first meal to fuel themselves for the day. Breakfast may vary from region to region.<\/p>\n

In the southeast, people like to start the day with salty (p\u00e3o de sal), toasted (p\u00e3o torrado) or cheese bread (p\u00e3o de queijo) or some kind of cupcake (bolo).\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the south, they like jam (geleia), cheese (queijo) or cuca (something like a flatbread made from wheat flour, coated with sugar) for breakfast.<\/p>\n

But in the north, in the Amazon region, they really love acai berries, bananas, coconuts, and they also make cakes from cassava flour. By the way, all Brazilians simply adore tapioca, a starchy product obtained from the cassava root. Many restaurants serve it in small cubes as an appetizer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People in the Northeast like to start the day with couscous, to which they may add milk, eggs or butter. But what no Brazilian can do without is coffee. By the way, here you can forget about the usual latte or cappuccino, but Brazilians have never heard of the existence of raf! After all, locals simply love to drink espresso or, at most, espresso with milk. Therefore, ordering a latte at a restaurant is useless. Even if they accept<\/a> your order, be sure that they will bring you espresso with milk. This is how Brazilians are. Also, for breakfast, residents of the sunny country often eat papaya and drink freshly squeezed juice, because here it is excellent.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Dinner<\/h2>\n

A typical almo\u00e7o, as lunch is called in Portuguese, consists of rice (arroz), beans (feij\u00e3o) and meat (carne). Brazilians have lunch around 12-14 o'clock. Therefore, there are special establishments in the country that are somewhat reminiscent of our canteen. They work strictly on weekdays at lunchtime, and you simply won\u2019t be able to get there in the evening. In such places, a fixed price is often set for weight: how much you gain is what you pay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A true Brazilian will definitely choose feijoada for lunch at least once a week – this is a symbol of the national cuisine. Traditional feijoada<\/a> consists of black beans, pork ribs and drumsticks, diced beef, sometimes also served with rice and farofa – cassava flour fried in oil. Lemon and orange juice and cacha\u00e7a (Brazilian vodka) are added to the sauce.<\/p>\n
