Hello, /ck/, brazilian here. Why do americans put so much sauce on their meat? I spent a weekend in Florida and everywhere i went to eat meat it was dripping in some sort of sauce, i could barely taste the meat itself. Here in Brazil we just put some salt and if we dare, pepper, It's really rare to see anyone using any kind of sauce.

Also, for a short time i will be answering any questions you might have on Brazilian food.

What do you want to know? Brazilian food is very regional, it changes a lot depending on the state you are in. The only thing that is true for the whole country is rice and beans. Rice and beans is eaten by everyone, everywhere and in every meal, if possible.

I could hardly go one day without it.

We eat meat a lot here in Brazil, something you will find everywhere is the "Prato feito", basically a MRE for people who work and and don't have a lot of time. Pic related. Rice, beans, salad, french fries, a steak/pork loin/chicken wing and drumstick, most cheap restaurants make this.

When i was a kid my family wasn't in it's best financial shape and we used to eat chicken feet because they sold it almost for free. I still do and i love it.

Also, churrascaria is the place where you go to eat churrasco (barbecue).

It's just different sometimes. Though I will say Brasilian style is awesome too, a friend from Brasil turned me on to Rodizio Churrascaria in NYC and that's mega good...

One place in NYC, it's closed now, got busted by the US Secret Service for swiping people's credit card numbers, if a person pays by anything other than cash, keep the card in view, no matter who runs the place, Brasilian or not.

Fogo de chão is an accurate representation one type of brazilian barbecue, the "rodizio", and that's it. Don't expect a lot more than the meat and the rice and feijoada. Most brazilian steak houses use the "rodizio", they just keep sending you meat until you flip the little thing in your table to red. We also do this with pizza.

If you want to eat regional brazilian food you have to come here.

Also, every time you see this put it in your plate. Picanha is the best they have to offer in Fogo de chão.

No. Sometimes a sauce is nice, like a red wine reduction with mushrooms, that goes very nicely with quality meat. Sometimes Brasilian style with just some salt is nice too.

Though in some cases that's true, some folk drench sauce over crap quality of meat either to mask the flavor or to use the crap quality meat as a sauce carrier.

>> No.5218390

>>5218387

That's the good thing about Brazilian churrascarias. You pay once and eat as much meat as you want.

Going to a pizzeria that also does rodizio is magic. You pay $10 dollars and they keep sending pizza until you are full. Once i ate 21 slices of pizza, man that night was good.

Mostly yes, but some places that are of great quality use a nice amount of sauce or seasoning to get the best out of it. We do the condiment soup thing in principle that our shit is really really bad by itself unless we want to go with higher quality meats.

You could always ask for less sauces if you prefer eating the meat.

How much is one of those churwhatevers in Brazil itself? I know in the U.S. the prices are basically unaffordable except for special occasions.

The time I went, Fogo de Chao was $60 (plus tax and tip, so it comes out to about $75) per person for dinner. I didn't mind paying it to try it once, but I can eat at a more typical steakhouse (e.g., Lone Star) for around $25 total (including tax/tip), less if I get something small.

>going to a chain rodizio
There's a rodizio place place in-ish my area-ish that's $30. And it's actually better than Fogo. The only issue is that they don't have a liquor license so there's no alcohol, but they allow BYO with no corking fee. And there's a wine-and-spirits shop at the corner and a beer distributor across the street, so it's all good.

Those are lower class whores. I've seen pictures of Brazilian hardbodies, it's just that low body fat and breast size at a B cup or less is mostly an upper class preference and by definition that means there's less of it to go around.

In the biggest cities people eat a lot of Kebab. Popcorn, hot-dogs and ice cream too.

Then there's the more regional street food, in Salvador you eat Acarajé http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acaraj%C3%A9..

In the north eastern part you eat tapioca http://gizmodo.uol.com.br/wp-content/blogs.dir/8/files/2012/01/tapioca2.jpg

And in the northen part of Brazil you eat Açaí.

There's a lot more, but these are the most famous.

Nah, people eat açai everywhere now. I'm from Brasilia and it's really popular there, I live in Sao Paulo and it's fucking popular here too.
It's too connected with gym exercises so every /fit/ eats it everyday. It made the price go sky high though, I used to pay R$ 8 for 500ml now it costs R$ 10-13 for 300ml, it's ridiculous.
