TOP 10 FOODS TO TRY IN BRAZIL | BBC GOOD FOOD

- Barbecued meat. Brazil and Argentina both claim to be South America’s barbecue champion. And while each country takes a different approach to its meat, from the cuts to the accompaniments, some things remain the same – namely, the ogre-sized quantities of meat, best appreciated at a leisurely pace and with an elasticated waistband.
- Moqueca (pronounced moo-kek-a) More than a mere fish stew, moqueca is served with theatrical flourish as the piping hot clay pot is uncovered at the table amid clouds of fragrant steam.
- Cachaça. Dating back to the 1500s, cachaça is made from fermented sugarcane juice and is best known as the fiery kick in caipirinhas – Brazil’s national cocktail.
- Brigadeiros. Brazil’s answer to the chocolate truffle, brigadeiros are so simple to make that they quite literally get rolled out for kids’ parties nationwide.
- Pão de queijo. Cheese and bread – two staple favourites the world over – are brought together in glorious union in Brazil’s pão de queijo, a moreish snack enjoyed at any time of day.
- Acarajé (pronounced a-ka-ra-zjeh) One of the most calorie-laden street snacks I’ve ever had the good fortune to try, acarajé is a deep-fried patty of crushed black-eyed peas, palm oil and puréed onions, deep-fried in yet more palm oil before being sliced open and stuffed with dried shrimp and vatapá – a rich and spicy purée of prawns, bread, cashew nuts and other ingredients.
- Quindim. Another favourite from Bahia, quindim is a glossy yellow sweet treat made with nothing more than eggs, sugar and coconut (with butter a common addition).
- Açaí (pronouned a-sa-ee) Of all the Amazon's fruits, the açaí is perhaps the best known, thanks to its superfood status. Traditionally eaten by indigenous tribes as a source of energy, the hard purple berry is also used in Amazonian cooking as a sauce to accompany fish.
- Feijoada. One of the few dishes eaten the length and breadth of Brazil, feijoada is a hearty stew of black beans, sausages and cuts of pork of varying quality – traditionally veering towards the lower end, with trotters and ears all going into the mix.
- Fried bar snacks. Beer, served so cold that chunks of ice stick to the bottle, is the drink of choice in Brazil – and an assortment of fried foods makes the perfect pairing, be it pastéis (deep-fried parcels of crisp pastry, filled with melting cheese, minced beef or creamy hearts of palm), crunchy batons of manioc or bolinhos (‘little balls’, most often made with salt cod).

- Pao de Queijo. Traditionally, Brazilians eat a light and simple breakfast, opting for a slice of toasted bread with jam, butter, Minas cheese, fruit, and an espresso.
- Acai Cuco. One of the best parts of staying in Rio de Janeiro is the abundance of juice bars at nearly every street corner. Juice bars sell a dizzying array of fresh juices plus chopped fresh fruit in cups, perfect for eating any time of the day.
- Street Food. Rio de Janeiro is hot, with summer temperatures reaching well above 100 degrees, and all that heat can sap away the desire to eat a heavy meal.
- Brigadeiro. Padarias are bakeries that serve sandwiches and pastries. You'll find dozens of different types of breads, sweet and savory pastries, and the famous brigadeiro.
- Lanchonetes. Lanchonetes, or small diners, serve many of the foods common to street food, such as pasteis and kibe balls, but they also serve sandwiches, bolinho de bacalau (fried codfish balls), caldinho de feijao (black bean soup), and coxinhas (fried spicy chicken rounds).
- Restaurant Por Kilo. Plan to splurge on a few days of your trip to Rio and visit a restaurant por kilo, a restaurant with a massive buffet where diners can load up their plate and purchase food on a per kilogram basis.
- Churrascaria Rodizio. The churrascaria rodizio is Brazil's most famous type of restaurant. Rodizio translates to "rotation," meaning that servers bring racks of food around to each of the tables at the restaurant.
- Feijoada. Feijoada is Brazil's national dish. This rich bean and meat stew is served with rice or farofa (made from toasted cassava flour) and a regular part of most Brazilians' Saturday afternoon plans.
- Restaurante Tipico and Restaurante Internacional. If you need a break from Carioca fare, Rio de Janeiro has a number of restaurante tipico and restaurante internacional, which focus on regional and international restaurants.
- Tipping and Eating Etiquette in Brazil. In Brazil, a 10 percent gratuity is automatically included on the bill, listed as the gorjeta, so no need to tip any further than that amount.
