I hope you guys you guys have already eaten, because our post today will cover one of Brazilians\u2019 greatest passions. No, this is not about soccer or samba. What truly brings people together in this country, from North to South, is the <\/span><b>churrasco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! If this is the first time you are ever hearing this word, worry not! <\/span><b>Churrasco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is nothing but what English speakers like to call <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">barbecue<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even though its origins date back to the prehistoric age, when men found out that<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carne <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(meat) would become <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">macia <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(tender) when roasted <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no fogo <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(on fire), everywhere in the world have their own local variety of barbecue. Let&#8217;s find out a little more about the Brazilian one?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One habit that many may find strange about Brazil as a whole and that also happens in Brazilian barbecue is that of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compartilhar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (sharing). <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comidas e bebidas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Food and drinks) brought or purchased by one person will not belong exclusively to him, but will be made available so that other people can enjoy it too. To make it clearer, let&#8217;s take a look at this example: In many countries, a piece of meat or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uma lingui\u00e7a<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a sausage) would be offered to one single individual to eat by himself on a plate. Here, however, we normally cut the meat or sausage into <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">peda\u00e7os<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (pieces) so that every guest can have some. When we previously went over bar etiquette, we talk in detail about our sharing culture:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rHjI58qSTl\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/bora-tomar-uma-brazilian-bar-culture\/\">Bora tomar uma?

Sausages? Burgers? Vegetables? Erh.. yes and no. Brazilian <\/span><b>churrasco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is predominantly composed of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carne bovina<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beef), though <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">frango<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (chicken), <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">porco <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pork) and sausages are equally important. We believe that nothing should overpower the taste of meat, so we keep<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> temperos <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(spices) to a minimum, usually just <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sal grosso<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (coarse salt). Perhaps the most shocking to sensitive stomachs are the<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cora\u00e7\u00f5es de frango<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chicken hearts). Carefully arranged in a <em>espeto<\/em> (skewer), these delicacies are a favorite in every <strong>churrasco<\/strong>. Do not be intimidated by it and go for it with an open heart! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00c9 uma del\u00edcia!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there room for vegetarians in a Brazilian <\/span><b>churrasco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Of course there is! Although<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carne <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(meat) is decisively central to any <\/span><b>churrasco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it goes beyond just that. In fact, two great meat rivals would be the beloved <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">p\u00e3o de alho<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (garlic bread) and<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">queijo coalho<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The first is a baguette type bread with a creamy pat\u00ea made from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manteiga<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (butter) or mayonnaise and loads of garlic. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queijo coalho<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the other hand, is a thick slice of hard cheese toasted and slightly <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">derretido<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (melted) by the fire. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legumes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (vegetables) on the grill are always welcome, but there are at least three other major vegetarian <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acompanhamentos<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (side dishes): <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arroz <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(rice), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">farofa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and vinaigrette.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8487\" style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8487\" class=\" wp-image-8487\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/08\/food-bread-dish-cuisine-baked-goods-ingredient-1611404-pxhere.com_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/08\/food-bread-dish-cuisine-baked-goods-ingredient-1611404-pxhere.com_.jpg 480w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2020\/08\/food-bread-dish-cuisine-baked-goods-ingredient-1611404-pxhere.com_-350x233.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The beloved p\u00e3o de alho (Photo by PxHere)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to private <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">festas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (parties) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comida de rua <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(street food), another popular option to indulge in this Brazilian passion are the<\/span><b> rod\u00edzios<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
