Copacabana brazilian restaurants, the recipe for rio de jenerio cuisine food
The history of brazilian cuisine goes all the way back to the keeping of slaves. Feijoada, the national dish, has it’s outspring from this period of brasilian ethnic food culture. (Feijoada is served in many occations, also among the brazilian Christmas foods) The rich white people ate the best meat and gave the leftover to the slaves. Pig ears and other bodyparts were cooked together with black beans to use every part of nutrition, and served with plain rice. Today, the dish is considered a symbol of Brazilian independence and quite good I might add! I have to admit that the first time I tried this and found a pig’s ear in the greavy, I was lightly disturbed. But I figured ‘It won’t kill me’ so I had a taste and flushed with some caipirinha, one of the drinks made with cashasa brazilian. Since then it has been one of my favourite Brasilian dishes. Today, there are many Copacabana brazilian restaurants which should be tried out!
