A typical Brazilian Feijoada, a stew of beans with beef and pork

Yes, it is one of the most popular meals in Brazil. Excellent food!

“Pão de queijo” is typical Brazilian and it’s a delicious snack, which can be found at every “lanchonete” in Brazil.

For the most part, I have heard that the local menu usually consists of fish from local rivers, beef and pork from large ranches nearby, along with soybeans, rice, and corn. Can anyone tell me what your favorite dishes of Brasilia are? Thanks.

Oh yes...FEIJOADA!

I'm starting to get hungry...very good food!

This region of Brasilia is made up mostly of dry, open plains, with a wooded area in the north. The Pantanal, which is one of the most famous hunting and fishing regions in the world, is located within this region. Beef, fish and pork are all common, as are things such as rice, maize and soybean.

Here's a great dessert recipe -

In Brazil, Asian cusine generally means either Chinese or Japanese. Similar to many ethnic meals, when they reach a new country they're are normally infused with regional spices, techniques and flavors.

For all you meat lovers, Frommer's states that Corrientes 348 offers a large covered patio and some of the best steaks in town. The menu features classic Argentine appetizers, including grilled red peppers, stuffed empanadas, and grilled spicy sausage. Meat lovers will go insane over the fine selection of prime Argentine steak, such as the ojo de bife (rib-eye) and tapa de cuadril (rump steak).Enjoy!!!
