The food is amazing here. Check out this market in Rio.
All the stuff was delivered by little VW vans which run about everywhere deliverying stuff or being illegal taxis.
The suco bars are very cool too. On most street corners there´s a juice bar selling snacks and juices made from all the crazy fruit they have here. Nic really got into the maracuja. My favourite is açai, an amazonian berry they make into a herbally purple ice slush which is meant to have all kinds of amazing properties including putting lead in your pencil. The Brazilians are understandably mad for the stuff. You also get it with fruit and granola sometimes. This became a regular breakfast when we couldn´t hack the cheese and ham sandwich, melon, papaya and coffee that was on offer most places we stayed.
Sadly the food did get a bit monotonous after 2months given that they are obsessed with having rice and beans with everything. The picture below is of some ´´moqueca´´, a delicious fish or seafood stew from Bahia in the north. It did come with rice and beans of course...
They also are pretty keen on this stuff called ´´farofa´´ which is manioc flour. it looks like dust, and they´re mad for chucking it all over pretty much everything. Odd kids....
