For this food adventure I went to Berimbau in the village to enjoy some Brazilian food. I've had Brazilian food many times but I was looking forward to this food adventure just the same. I was especially looking forward to the Pao de Queijo. They're these cheesy little breads, that are soft and a little gooey on the inside but toasty on the outside. Of course I had to have a Caipirinha with my meal. Cairpirinha is a drink make with Cachaca (a Brazilian rum), sugar and limes. It tastes somewhat similar to a Mojito, but without the mint leaves and slightly stronger alcohol taste.
Although the most traditional dish in Brazil is the Feijoada (a bean and meat stew) I really was more in the mood for steak, so I had the Picanha. The Picanha is top sirloin served with yuca flour, rice and beans, and a vinaigrette. The steak is very juicy. The vinaigrette is made of various pickled veggies like onions and peppers and it has a slightly sweet taste. The yuca flour is an interesting item, it tastes like your eating loose flour with little tidbits of meat inside, I didn't really like this too much. The beans were very garlicky, which I liked.
This was a quick but tasty food adventure. Until next time, Buen Provecho!
