I hope you have an appetite, since today\u2019s text, as promised, will get on with the second part of the best known <\/span>comidas de rua<\/span><\/i> (street food) found in Brazil. If you missed the first part, exclusively dedicated to carnivores, click here<\/a> to check it out. If not, come with us as it’s time for us to <\/span>saciar nossa fome<\/span><\/i> (satisfy our hunger)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tapioca<\/p><\/div>\n

Brazil is rich not only in <\/span>carne<\/span><\/i> (meat), but in many other <\/span>del\u00edcias<\/span><\/i> (treats). Many of them may seem strange to you, but believe me, they are truly <\/span>gostosos<\/span><\/i> (tasty)! To start our list, let’s go with the notorious <\/span>tapioca<\/b>. Tapioca is made with hydrated cassava flour flakes and you can usually find it with several different <\/span>recheios<\/span><\/i> (fillings), from the traditional one with <\/span>manteiga<\/span><\/i> (butter), but also with meat, <\/span>queijo<\/span><\/i> (cheese), sun-dried tomatoes and even some sweet takes with <\/span>doce de leite<\/span><\/i> (caramel) or <\/span>morango<\/span><\/i> (strawberry). It is very popular in the northeast of the country, but because of its low calories and high nutritional value, it has become a new fad among those who are looking for a <\/span>dieta saud\u00e1vel <\/span><\/i>(healthy diet).<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving along with more natural, wholesome <\/span>refei\u00e7\u00f5es<\/span><\/i> (meals), it is very common along Brazilian streets to eat <\/span>milho verde cozido<\/strong> (corn on the cob), usually seasoned with salt or butter. In addition, you can find other corn-based delicacies such as <\/span>pipoca<\/span><\/i> (popcorn), <\/span>pamonha<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>cural<\/span><\/i>. Brazilian popcorn is reminiscent of the North American one, but don’t be alarmed if they come with bacon or even cheese! As for pamonha, it consists of a corn paste wrapped and cooked in corn straw, while the cural is a sweet pudding made from corn and <\/span>leite<\/span><\/i> (milk). All of these variations are very traditional at Brazil’s June festivities, but you can try them all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fried food is hard to resist, isn\u2019t it? So, let’s move on the slightly fatter street foods! Have you heard of <\/span>pastel<\/b>? This is<\/span> um salgado<\/span><\/i> (a savory pastry) you find in every Brazilian <\/span>lanchonete<\/span><\/i> (snack bar). Its crispy <\/span>massa<\/span><\/i> (dough) is made with flour and a little cacha\u00e7a, which gives it a slightly sour aftertaste, but very light and delicate <\/span>gosto<\/span><\/i> (taste). Fried in large oil pans, the fillings vary by region, but the traditional ones are meat, cheese, \u201cpizza\u201d (a mix of meat, cheese, tomatoes and oregano) and even shrimp. <\/span>Vai me dizer que voc\u00ea tamb\u00e9m n\u00e3o ficou com \u00e1gua na boca? <\/span>Are you going to tell me your mouth isn\u2019t watering right now?<\/span><\/p>\n

To wrap this up (after all, I\u2019m hungry), I present you a dish that we have already mentioned a few times in our texts, so the name should not be strange to you. We are talking about <\/span>acaraj\u00e9<\/b>. Traditional from Bahia<\/a>, Acaraj\u00e9 is a food of African and Brazilian origin, considered as a religious symbol in which baianas offer to their devoted saints. Its dough is made from <\/span>feij\u00e3o <\/span><\/i>(black-eyed peas), <\/span>cebolas<\/span><\/i> (onions) and salt, but deep-fried in palm oil. Its filling is rich, with many textures and <\/span>sabores <\/span><\/i>(flavors), usually made with vatap\u00e1 (a cashew nut paste, coconut milk and various spices), caruru (okra), pepper and dried camar\u00e3o (shrimp).<\/span><\/p>\n
