The reason to eat orange with feijoada is to help the digestion of fat meat but also the vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from beans and collard greens .
Not sure if this is an intended reason or just a happy consequence, but, yeah, gitamin c helps converting Fe3+ to Fe2+, one of the two forms that can be absorbed by the human body. Meat usually already contains heme iron, which is the second absorbable form and is absorbed even more easily, but beans and other plants greatly benefit from the vitamin c absorption boost

Not really, we have both, and the more south you go, the more Flames on it (and the better it gets). Embers is more common when Slow Cooking (12-Hour Ribs for example), the common BBQ is done in an hour and uses open flames. and yes, i know the Embers do a lot of the work, but calling it just Embers is equating it to JUST Embers, which waits for the fire to stop before cooking, and it's not like normal flames on charcoal can exist without embers anyway.

@@_theFeltes I agree that well done is a waste of the meat flavors, but about the flames vs embers I'll say that slow cook over embers is more common in the South than anywhere else.

Pão de queijo is amazing, but a bit high on the calories hahaha. I like to eat them with a tea spoon of nutella on top (I know it's uncommon, but it's delicious).
Chicken heart skewers are very common at bbqs all over Brazil! Also I've never seen Strogonoff pizza but I wouldn't be surprised, we put literally anything on pizza...
yeah... it's because açaí is very hard to cultivate, store and transport, so outside of the North (where it grows) you only find it frozen and processed, and it looses a lot of it's flavor. People from other regions literally don't know how it's supposed to taste, and we cover it up with a lot of sweet shit. I'm pretty sure it's the same in other countries. Basically only close to the Amazon it's consumed more properly.
All the food in the video are the most common ones. If you dig down into the Brazillian culinary, you may find some recipes not very interesting, but they are more a regional thing than an "everyday recipe". For example, in most parts of Brazil, people eat/drink the Açai as sort of icre cream or cold beverage, in the northen part, people ALSO use it dried like a flour and mix it with common food.

I eat it during and after. At least in my family it is very common to serve a variety of fruits with the main dish. (My family is northern. Paraiba and Maranhão) it is very very common to hage mango, papaya and orange cuts in the middle of the table. Sometimes pineapple as well.
It's really common to eat it with the feijoada, in the middle of the meal. It helps to cleanse your palate, as feijoada is really fat and the citric acid kinda "breaks" the sensation of fat in your mouth. E falando como brasileiro, uma laranjinha ajuda a dar aquela assentada na comida pra caber mais um pouquinho
The whole thing about Brasilian food is that we like strong flavors. So, if its supposed to be salty, we will put salt to the limit, same to sweetness or spicy. Thats why we put everything on pizza or hot dog: plain dough and cheese or just a bun with a sausage tastes "empty", so we think abou anything that can work well with those ingredients. Also, as someone who has been raised in Minas Gerais, I can say that our habits (including food, traditional clothing and so on) are based on hard working and courtesy. In Minas Gerais we have "feijao tropeiro", which is a mix of beans, bacon, sausages, pork, cale, eggs, cassava flour and some places put fried bananas. Its a really heavy meal, but it is intended to be a meal that a person eats in the morning and stays satisfied till the end of a working day at a farm. The thing about "pão de queijo" and a coffee is simply some tasty and quick snack to give someone who visists your house. In Minas Gerais is obligatory to have some coffee when visiting someone, refusing is considered disrespectful. Maybe because we have one of the best (if not the best) coffees in Brazil.
Unfortunately brazilians are pretty stubborn and plain with their food behaviour even among themselves. Denying coffee is really seems as an insult and that's okay, since there no open-mindness anyway to try anything new anyway.
The why Brazil's meat tastes better is more about how we separate the pieces of meat into different cuts of meat such as Pichanha or Fraldinha. One other point is the vegetal coal we wait it turns into ember to cook the meat always trying to leave inside the meat red while the outside is crispy
I find some brigadeiros to be too sweet as well, but it depends on how it's made. It can be made with cocoa powder, or with the chocolate powder that's used to make chocolate milk like nescau or toddy. I personally prefer to do it with cocoa powder, the condensed milk is already sweet enough, and most chocolate powder are more on the sweet side as well, while cocoa powder is bitter. It breaks up a bit and becomes more muted in my opinion. Additionally, you can add a couple teaspoons of instant coffe and that elevates the taste even more to me haha.
It's still too sweet to an european, their deserts almost don't have sugar. We make sweet deserts because of the sugarcane monocultures that sustained our economy for so long. This cuisine was developed because Brasil had a prohibition on agriculture, we could not plant anything that wasn't profitable as a colony.
Some typical brazilian pizza flavours: Calabresa, which is basically the most common Brazilian meat sausage pizza; Frango com catupiry, which is shredded chicken with catupiry spreadable cheese (catupiry is a type of Brazilian cheese); Portuguesa, which includes sausages, onions, bell peppers and sliced cooked eggs...
Pizza Portuguesa in São Paulo includes mozzarella, onion rings, boiled egg, ham, and sometimes peas.I personally didn't like the ones that swap the ham for sausage. 😂
Chicken hearts are excellent on the barbecue. As for sweet pizzas, the best is banana and cinnamon. Pizzas with chocolate and other very sweet things end up being bad, but some people like them. In some places that sell açaí, they offer another flavor option made from another fruit called cupuaçu, which is very tasty. Another interesting fact about açaí is that in the north of Brazil, where açaí is grown, people usually eat it in savory dishes. Only in the rest of the country has it become popular as a frozen dessert.
Oh, I love banana cinnamon pizza, and find it super funny foreign people usually get into the whole fruit-on-pizza discourse through pineapple. Also, as a nice note to mention, cupuacú is a close relarive of cacao and their pulps usually taste somewhat similar, and pretty sour but tasty for many (not a fan in particular)
But this is not common throughout Brazil, I believe it is a custom in the southeast... Other regions of Brazil would consider this a violation of their feijoda lol
We like to improve the food of other cultures. Look at what we did with croissants... We saw their plain bread thing, and raised it by stuffing it with chocolate, cheese, or goiabada. They might find it """offensive""" at first, but by god, it's delicious and objectively better
In countryside Brazil, it's common to serve yourself directly from the tree, when i was a kid i remember going out with my grandma, collecting wild rare fruits (sweet goya, abiu, pomegranates, jabuticaba) and that habit of gathering still stand to this day, as i always collect some fresh fruits when going to work 😂
Despite the legends, the feijoada dish was created in navigation, all the ingredients do not require refrigeration, from salted or smoked meats, sausages and dried grains (beans and rice) in addition to flour. Orange was important to sailors. Furthermore, feijoada appears in the main ports of Brazil and not in the interior.
@@flavioromano8754 On the farms, workers had neither the time nor the means to salt meat, smoke it or even make sausages. And these are the main ingredients of feijoada.
@@БабаЯга-ш7хNo misinformation there. The "original" feijoada is european, it was just better developed by brazilians, and was likely done by sailors. The fact that it's mostly popular in Rio de Janeiro, the most important coastal city, is a giveaway
If you think brazillian hot dogs are crazy, wait until you see the venezuelan hot dog! They put EVERYTHING on that thing, even avocado and like a million sauces
I think the origin of the Orange in the Feijoada is to prevent Scurbut in the old days, specialty during sea travels. Also the vitamin C increases the absortion of iron from the black beans.
In Brazil the chicken hearts can get very expensive due to demand for barbecues. In the rest of the world it's used for animal food due to lack of commercial value. Sad, chicken hearts are delicious.
INCREDIBLE AS IT MAY SEE! For chicken hearts to be good, you have to skewer them or cut them into small pieces to make them good (on pizza). If you roast them whole, they will have a different flavor, which I think is bad.
The key to bbq chicken hearts is to season it with something, and not roasting it to much. And the key for a good chicken heart pizza is to cook the hearts in pan with tomato sauce salt pepper and etc, and then put it on top of the pizza
There is a big difference between the barbecue from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil (south in special). While in Brazil we use charcoal and salt, the other countries uses wood and some sauces with herbs and other things. On the south of Brazil in some places people may prefer Sheep (not Lamb, but old Sheep full of grass).
Great video! Somethings I'd like to add tho: About rice and beans, it's like the "default" meal of Brasil. It's literally expected that you have it at least every week day, every household. It's the reliable, good, healthy food. You might even hear sentences like "That new Planet of the Apes movie is kinda rice and beans" to refer to something being common, unsuprising, maybe even formulaic but still fine. Pão de queijo is also a food that you're expected to have everyday. At least if you're from Minas Gerais. We eat it at breakfest and it's our go to afternoon snack because it's usually the cheapest and, in Minas Gerais, it's really really good. Mineiros don't even eat Pão queijo out of state, they say it tastes completely different (and it does). It's that serious. Coxinhas are also crazy common, they're not a routine like rice and beans or Pão de queijo, but they're literally everywhere so you usually end up getting one some time or another. Just to put it in perspective: I had never thought of them as a Brazillian snack until just now. I guess I just assumed they were worldwide because of how widespread they are here. The thought of someone going through lives and never eating a Coxinha never crossed my mind.
I'm Brazilian, from the state of São Paulo, here we think it's strange to eat orange with feijoada, but in certain fatty meals, after the meal, we like to eat orange or fruit salads with orange juice. edit: We don't eat potatoes every day, more like once or twice a week, but yes, we eat rice and beans almost every day. The reason we eat a lot of cheese bread at the airport, at least as I was taught, is that the normal airport snacks may not be "fresh", so if you don't want or can't find a freshly made meal, cheese bread It is a quick and practical solution
For the ones that doesn't know how our sweet pizzas are made: They bake the dough untill it's almost done, then add some chocolate or whatever it's supposed to be used as filling, put it in the oven again for a couple of minutes so that the filling heats up, and you're done. The pizza is a lot more crunch then a salty pizza, because of the bake process without any filling.
The cachorro quente (hot dog) was definitely a surprise my friend from São Paulo introduced me to it when I visited her house there. This thing is an entire meal on its own it’s got the wiener, shredded potatoes, cheese and other things absolutely loved it.
You should experiment the "xis" from Porto Alegre. It's a cheeseburger of sorts, but it's sometimes the size of a plate. Literally. And it can have even MORE things than cachorro quente. It's delicious.
Combining rice and beans makes for a healthy and plant based source of protein. I wasnt expecting one would find that weird since combining grains and legumes is pretty comum around the world as a daily source of protein
Thats a guy that got Brazilianized right there! Kkkkk. I felt a lot of love in your words. We have chicken hearts for appertizers in our barbecues. Simply delicious. Pizza (and burguers) with chicken hearts is a thing of Rio Grande do Sul. Not very common in São Paulo though.
Do you already eat pudim de leite condensado, brigadeiro, cocada, doce de leite, paçoca, pave de pêssego and mousse de maracujá? I think are the top desserts from Brazil 😍
Hahahah, Nice video, dude. My Record at a rodízio de pizza was 18 slices 😂, the secret is to not have any breakfast or lunch before It, so you don't give profit to the owner 😂
I’ve lived in RS for 2.5 years now, originally from England. One thing I struggle with the most is the lack of choices for takeout. I live in a fairly small city and whenever we check iFood it’s just one lancheria after another, each one selling the EXACT SAME STUFF as the one before.
bro... you need to have the coxinha made with potato instead of dough! its soooooo much better. if you ever travel to Para state, the coxinha is way better, the tapioca is way better, and the acai is pure (regular, sweet (hard to find), and white) nice video!
I'm brazilian and I 100% agree with the hotdogs around here. IT IS CRAZY😂. I'm a minimalist like the rest of the world, bread, salsage, ketchup and a little bit of fried potato straws are more than enough. My wife, however, builds a MONSTER meal 😅 you got a point
I'm Brazilian and even if I find ice cream pizza delicious, it's one of the most "wtf are you doing with pizza" flavours we have. It's a proof of how little F we give to the "tradition" of other culture's foods.
Comida brasileira é estranha, disse o comedor de Surströmming. Aliás obrigado pela Absolut e o time sueco feminino (sic) de futebol. 🇧🇷 🇸🇪 Forte abraço. ✌️ P.S: Depois eu vejo o vídeo com mais calma para não ser injusto.
Sweden sounds very european and american at the same time. Barbecued chicken heart is delicious, but can be very greasy and sit very heavy in the stomach if you eat enough of it.
I liked the commentaries you made on each food, and I wanted to share some thoughts about my Brazil to people from other countries that find this commentary here. On the South part of Brasil its part of our tradition doing BBQ on sunday's, but meat is always an expensive thing. Rice and beans is like a safe port for someone that wants to start cooking, but you can use Noodles with beans too. Cheese bread and coxinha are good as anything and you can get addicted to them, about hotdog in brazil I gotta say for USA or any person who look at our hotdogs or pizzas will think is bad, but if you taste them, and still don't like it its the persons opinion wich we can't change. Brigadeiro and açaí man you need to be a cold hearted person to say its bad, well açaí depends on the tipe one but brigadeiro you can't say its bad.
Just for remind you, the sweetness of açaí come from the Guarana Syrup witch is added in the process. The brazilian souteasth eat as desert but in the northeast and north they eat in a meal and it is not sweet.
If you don't have rice and beans, it's not a meal. It's a snack at best. About pizza, in the there in the South it's not very good to be honest, but in São Paulo we have some of the best pizza in the world, easily. And chicken hearts are popular in the whole country, although it's a bit divisive. It's not uncommon for Brazilians not to like them (me included).
The cuts of the meat in Brazil are different (I think they differ from country to country) and they usually include some portion of fat (cooking the meat with the fat makes it taste better... at least that's what I've heard). Then there's the "sal grosso" thing we put on it.
I wonder what he would say seeing people from Minas Gerais eating banana with rice and beans and the varieties fried banana with sugar and cinnamon and banana chips.
Yes, chicken hearts are eaten throughout the country, but in my experience it's not something everyone loves. In my family, only my father likes them. Also, the best brigadeiros are those bought ready, used aplenty in birthday parties. Homemade ones aren't that amazing, but still a nice dessert every now and then.
It’s true we do eat rice and beans everyday and as a Brazilian I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t eat rice and beans everyday. And barbecue to me is every weekend lmao
It's funny to see how the mix betwen many many cultures made Brazil very unique and willing to mix different foods. Chicken heart is the best freaking thing in this god forsaken planet
Best cuisines in Brazil: Bahia (for seafood), Minas (for heavy dishes) , the South (for barbecue), and Pará (for their unique ingredients and spices). Best city to eat anything you desire: Sao Paulo.
I am Brazilian, and I have never eaten beans or feijoada in my life. Brazilian people like feijoada ( beans, pork sausages, and beef stew) are because many years ago, the slaves that came from Africa taught us how to cook feijoada.
Im surprised a video about Brazilian food hasn't touched on our tradition of saying "I'm hungry for food", meaning we don't want fast foods, snacks, pizza, or that kind of stuff. But beans and rice, or feijoada, or any "homemade" healthy food. No overly processed food. You know, REAL food.
Açai from the North of Brazil can be very different. I think it is white and it is salty. The purple Açai usually have sugar and other things like Guarana, banana etc.
Nope. Pure açaí is not white, it's purple. Also it's not salty, it has a neutral taste. Just for your reference, I was born and raised in Northern Brazil.
@@nordicinvestor Funny, there is an Americam vogler that loved to eat chicken heart. I also don't eat Sarapatel and Buchada ( there was a joke if the politician could eat them in central market to get votes). Both dishes are from Northeast of the country. So, in my opinion, with feijoada, those are the most strange food of the country. I forgot chicken with pardo souce/molho pardo (blood) from Minas Gerais.
We don't kill chickens just for the heart. It would go to waste if we didn't eat it. Because it's considered a delicacy that a lot of people love, it ends up being expensive, while the liver is incredibly cheap, but no one is killing an entire chicken, taking the heart and throwing everything else away.
About the slice of orange with "feijoada". Its more about healthy habits that how it taste. Feijoada has a lot of iron, and the vitamin C found in the orange, helps our stomach absorve more iron. Usually the slice of orange its the last thing you eat, you to clean your taste and have a sweet (and healthy) treat.
no no it´s delicious, the nutricion fact is a plus lol We eat together with the feijoada not at the end. But people can eat their oranges at the end at the beginning, you comand your meal lol
The reason to eat orange with feijoada is to help the digestion of fat meat but also the vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from beans and collard greens .
Was about to comment just that!!!
The real reason is that orange goes along so well with feijoada.
never heard of that before
Not sure if this is an intended reason or just a happy consequence, but, yeah, gitamin c helps converting Fe3+ to Fe2+, one of the two forms that can be absorbed by the human body.

E tem a vantagem de que pão de queijo ruim tende a ser melhor que outros salgados ruins.
É uma opção mais segura.
1 café com pão de queijo no aeroporto passa de 30 reais
is because there´s no cheese at these lol but taste like it does. Is a product of cassava, sour cassava flour
and that's why airports (and large bus stations) have a constant scent of cheese and coffee!

brigadeiro é uma bomba colante de açucar que as mulheres na TPM adoram.
Some typical brazilian pizza flavours: Calabresa, which is basically the most common Brazilian meat sausage pizza; Frango com catupiry, which is shredded chicken with catupiry spreadable cheese (catupiry is a type of Brazilian cheese); Portuguesa, which includes sausages, onions, bell peppers and sliced cooked eggs...
Pizza Portuguesa in São Paulo includes mozzarella, onion rings, boiled egg, ham, and sometimes peas.I personally didn't like the ones that swap the ham for sausage. 😂
Chicken hearts are excellent on the barbecue. As for sweet pizzas, the best is banana and cinnamon. Pizzas with chocolate and other very sweet things end up being bad, but some people like them.
In some places that sell açaí, they offer another flavor option made from another fruit called cupuaçu, which is very tasty.
Another interesting fact about açaí is that in the north of Brazil, where açaí is grown, people usually eat it in savory dishes. Only in the rest of the country has it become popular as a frozen dessert.
My favorite sweet pizzas are the fruit ones like: banana, pineapple, grape and strawberry
Oh, I love banana cinnamon pizza, and find it super funny foreign people usually get into the whole fruit-on-pizza discourse through pineapple.
Also, as a nice note to mention, cupuacú is a close relarive of cacao and their pulps usually taste somewhat similar, and pretty sour but tasty for many (not a fan in particular)
I love cupuaçu
Our food is our pride and joy! Loved the video, all the love!
Brazilian food is "weird" because it's better (REAL FOOD).
Nem sempre. Ele mencionou umas que são só esquisitas mesmo. Os hot dogs cheios de tranqueira, pizza doce...
@@rafaelhpalomino que isso?! Essas são algumas das melhores coisas que tem!
@@rafaelhpalominopizza doce existe na italia tbm
@@jacobbuzan374 Pizza doce e hot dog tralhudo pra mim é das piores coisas. Em compensação o churrasco aqui é excelente.
In comparison with USA yeah but swedish make "real" food too like cooking
Feijoada is a really heavy on the stomach, and oranges help in digestion.
Thanks for the explanation
But this is not common throughout Brazil, I believe it is a custom in the southeast...
Other regions of Brazil would consider this a violation of their feijoda lol
You went down the Brazilian pizza rabbit hole. There is no escape now. Hahahaha
We like to improve the food of other cultures. Look at what we did with croissants...
We saw their plain bread thing, and raised it by stuffing it with chocolate, cheese, or goiabada.
They might find it """offensive""" at first, but by god, it's delicious and objectively better
😂😂
Why im glad you're having fun all I heard about sweden is meatballs and I'm like "thats it?" i mean, how good can a meatball get?
😆
I met a Brazilian woman here in Sweden. She said she really enjoyed or cooking oats. "Mathavre" Which is kind of like rice or couscous made of oats.
That's interesting. I do not think it is very common in the south of brazil though as I have not come across it here.
In countryside Brazil, it's common to serve yourself directly from the tree, when i was a kid i remember going out with my grandma, collecting wild rare fruits (sweet goya, abiu, pomegranates, jabuticaba) and that habit of gathering still stand to this day, as i always collect some fresh fruits when going to work 😂
at south we love to go to the woods to colect pinhão at winter
@@analiviaminsk1171 pinhão is awesome 🤤 God Bless Gauchada
has brazilian I have to say: DO NOT TRY ANY FOOD IN AIRPORT!
airports here have a high inflate price in every single item.
Despite the legends, the feijoada dish was created in navigation, all the ingredients do not require refrigeration, from salted or smoked meats, sausages and dried grains (beans and rice) in addition to flour. Orange was important to sailors. Furthermore, feijoada appears in the main ports of Brazil and not in the interior.
Viajou legal
me when I spread misinformation online
@@flavioromano8754 On the farms, workers had neither the time nor the means to salt meat, smoke it or even make sausages. And these are the main ingredients of feijoada.
@@БабаЯга-ш7хNo misinformation there. The "original" feijoada is european, it was just better developed by brazilians, and was likely done by sailors. The fact that it's mostly popular in Rio de Janeiro, the most important coastal city, is a giveaway
If you think brazillian hot dogs are crazy, wait until you see the venezuelan hot dog! They put EVERYTHING on that thing, even avocado and like a million sauces
So a medium Osasco Dogão?
You just described the brazillian hot dog fr
I think the origin of the Orange in the Feijoada is to prevent Scurbut in the old days, specialty during sea travels. Also the vitamin C increases the absortion of iron from the black beans.
Good job! You really describe on details our foods here in Brazil. Thanks!!! I hope you can back again for more gastronomic adventures.
Thanks 👍
In Brazil the chicken hearts can get very expensive due to demand for barbecues. In the rest of the world it's used for animal food due to lack of commercial value. Sad, chicken hearts are delicious.
INCREDIBLE AS IT MAY SEE! For chicken hearts to be good, you have to skewer them or cut them into small pieces to make them good (on pizza). If you roast them whole, they will have a different flavor, which I think is bad.
The key to bbq chicken hearts is to season it with something, and not roasting it to much. And the key for a good chicken heart pizza is to cook the hearts in pan with tomato sauce salt pepper and etc, and then put it on top of the pizza
Thanks for the tips
There is a big difference between the barbecue from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil (south in special). While in Brazil we use charcoal and salt, the other countries uses wood and some sauces with herbs and other things. On the south of Brazil in some places people may prefer Sheep (not Lamb, but old Sheep full of grass).
Great video! Somethings I'd like to add tho:
About rice and beans, it's like the "default" meal of Brasil. It's literally expected that you have it at least every week day, every household. It's the reliable, good, healthy food. You might even hear sentences like "That new Planet of the Apes movie is kinda rice and beans" to refer to something being common, unsuprising, maybe even formulaic but still fine.
Pão de queijo is also a food that you're expected to have everyday. At least if you're from Minas Gerais. We eat it at breakfest and it's our go to afternoon snack because it's usually the cheapest and, in Minas Gerais, it's really really good. Mineiros don't even eat Pão queijo out of state, they say it tastes completely different (and it does). It's that serious.
Coxinhas are also crazy common, they're not a routine like rice and beans or Pão de queijo, but they're literally everywhere so you usually end up getting one some time or another. Just to put it in perspective: I had never thought of them as a Brazillian snack until just now. I guess I just assumed they were worldwide because of how widespread they are here. The thought of someone going through lives and never eating a Coxinha never crossed my mind.
Have you ever tried a pastel with sugarcane juice?
Yes I have, I like it a lot
Lol rice and beans are a staple side dish all throughout latin america. Probably the only ones who eat the least amount are the US and Canada
Very true 👍
@@nordicinvestorFeijão os portugueses trouxe da África eu quer arroz os portugueses trouxe india para o brasil
@@ssjrose9641 I am Brazilian and I am aware of it.
I think it's funny that most of Brazilians think rice&beans is exclusively ours. 😁
Chicken hearts is common at bbq's all around Brazil... Actually not only in barbecue, but you can eat chicken heart in many different ways...
Colocar “Brazilian” no título de qlquer vídeo é chamariz pra gente estranha
😂
I'm Brazilian, from the state of São Paulo, here we think it's strange to eat orange with feijoada, but in certain fatty meals, after the meal, we like to eat orange or fruit salads with orange juice.
edit: We don't eat potatoes every day, more like once or twice a week, but yes, we eat rice and beans almost every day.
The reason we eat a lot of cheese bread at the airport, at least as I was taught, is that the normal airport snacks may not be "fresh", so if you don't want or can't find a freshly made meal, cheese bread It is a quick and practical solution
Som brasiliansk känner jag mig tvungen att försvara kyckling hjärta i våra barbecue. Det är en alltid favorit av mina barnen.
For the ones that doesn't know how our sweet pizzas are made: They bake the dough untill it's almost done, then add some chocolate or whatever it's supposed to be used as filling, put it in the oven again for a couple of minutes so that the filling heats up, and you're done. The pizza is a lot more crunch then a salty pizza, because of the bake process without any filling.
Thanks for the explanation!
I find strange when foreigners find sweet pizza one of the surprising things about pizza in Brazil. Because sweet pizzas are actually common in Italy.
👍
The cachorro quente (hot dog) was definitely a surprise my friend from São Paulo introduced me to it when I visited her house there. This thing is an entire meal on its own it’s got the wiener, shredded potatoes, cheese and other things absolutely loved it.
Haha we turn everything with bread and meat into some hamburguer of some sorts, from a simple sandwich to hotdogs
You should experiment the "xis" from Porto Alegre. It's a cheeseburger of sorts, but it's sometimes the size of a plate. Literally. And it can have even MORE things than cachorro quente.
It's delicious.
Combining rice and beans makes for a healthy and plant based source of protein. I wasnt expecting one would find that weird since combining grains and legumes is pretty comum around the world as a daily source of protein
You should come to Bahia and eat Acarajé.
Thats a guy that got Brazilianized right there! Kkkkk.
I felt a lot of love in your words.
We have chicken hearts for appertizers in our barbecues. Simply delicious.
Pizza (and burguers) with chicken hearts is a thing of Rio Grande do Sul. Not very common in São Paulo though.
Do you already eat pudim de leite condensado, brigadeiro, cocada, doce de leite, paçoca, pave de pêssego and mousse de maracujá? I think are the top desserts from Brazil 😍
Nice video! Very respectful and accurate. Off topic: you remember the "Angry Video Game Nerd", physically.
😂
Hahahah, Nice video, dude. My Record at a rodízio de pizza was 18 slices 😂, the secret is to not have any breakfast or lunch before It, so you don't give profit to the owner 😂
I’ve lived in RS for 2.5 years now, originally from England. One thing I struggle with the most is the lack of choices for takeout. I live in a fairly small city and whenever we check iFood it’s just one lancheria after another, each one selling the EXACT SAME STUFF as the one before.
Hotdog, burger and sushi. The inescapable trio.
@@average.yt.commenter609 amen
You being from England should be VERY hard for you....
The orange in the feijoada actually helps your organism to absorb the iron in the beans.
What about "farofa" haven't you tasted the thing that makes rice and beans even tastier when you add them together? (Also a staple of Brazilian bbq)
você já experimentou a atrocidade do cuscuz paulista?
In Brazil they say "this is my beans with rice" with the same meaning English speakers say "this is my bread and butter".
you didn't show a single picture of the Brazilian version of these things
LOL - will try to include my own pictures in future videos
Yes, I've also noticed that. You DO NEED to show true Brazilian people @ the videos. That would be way more authentic !
Algumas não estão muito brasileiras, mas boa parte está ok.
rice and beans is this common of a meal for mainly 3 reasons:
-its cheap and easy to cook
-its healhty and nutricious!
-it tastes amazing!!
Here in Brazil we eat SOPA DE MACACO (monkey soup). It is a traditional dish that emerged from the mixture of Natives, Portuguese and Africans.
Pior que os gringos vão acabar acreditando nessa história.
Hmm one delicious (uma delícia)
Gente, isso aí é argentino racista babaca, só eles dizem isso sobre o Brasil.
no we dont 😅
certeza que quem fez esse comentário é argentino que sempre faz comentário racista assim.
bro... you need to have the coxinha made with potato instead of dough! its soooooo much better. if you ever travel to Para state, the coxinha is way better, the tapioca is way better, and the acai is pure (regular, sweet (hard to find), and white)
nice video!
The thumbnails really do be like "yo this food weird *shows uncooked meat*"
In fact, every Brazilian follows a diet. And it is not uncommon to see two or three types of carbohydrates on the same plate.
I'm brazilian and I 100% agree with the hotdogs around here. IT IS CRAZY😂. I'm a minimalist like the rest of the world, bread, salsage, ketchup and a little bit of fried potato straws are more than enough. My wife, however, builds a MONSTER meal 😅 you got a point
Have you already tasted the ice cream pizza? Its a slice of pizza with a big ball of ice cream on top.
I'm Brazilian and even if I find ice cream pizza delicious, it's one of the most "wtf are you doing with pizza" flavours we have.
It's a proof of how little F we give to the "tradition" of other culture's foods.
As a Brazilian, how the flavors for the Swedish cuisine are different from the Brazilian?
Swedes love sea food and meatballs
Comida brasileira é estranha, disse o comedor de Surströmming. Aliás obrigado pela Absolut e o time sueco feminino (sic) de futebol. 🇧🇷 🇸🇪
Forte abraço. ✌️
P.S: Depois eu vejo o vídeo com mais calma para não ser injusto.
Sweden sounds very european and american at the same time. Barbecued chicken heart is delicious, but can be very greasy and sit very heavy in the stomach if you eat enough of it.
I agree with you on the chicken hearts
I liked the commentaries you made on each food, and I wanted to share some thoughts about my Brazil to people from other countries that find this commentary here.
On the South part of Brasil its part of our tradition doing BBQ on sunday's, but meat is always an expensive thing. Rice and beans is like a safe port for someone that wants to start cooking, but you can use Noodles with beans too.
Cheese bread and coxinha are good as anything and you can get addicted to them, about hotdog in brazil I gotta say for USA or any person who look at our hotdogs or pizzas will think is bad, but if you taste them, and still don't like it its the persons opinion wich we can't change.
Brigadeiro and açaí man you need to be a cold hearted person to say its bad, well açaí depends on the tipe one but brigadeiro you can't say its bad.
Just for remind you, the sweetness of açaí come from the Guarana Syrup witch is added in the process. The brazilian souteasth eat as desert but in the northeast and north they eat in a meal and it is not sweet.
Thanks for explanation!
The orange in the feijoada is a nice add since the dish has a lot of fat from the stew.
If you don't have rice and beans, it's not a meal. It's a snack at best. About pizza, in the there in the South it's not very good to be honest, but in São Paulo we have some of the best pizza in the world, easily. And chicken hearts are popular in the whole country, although it's a bit divisive. It's not uncommon for Brazilians not to like them (me included).
I think pasta is tolerated as a meal too.
The cuts of the meat in Brazil are different (I think they differ from country to country) and they usually include some portion of fat (cooking the meat with the fat makes it taste better... at least that's what I've heard). Then there's the "sal grosso" thing we put on it.
Chicken hearts are comum in every bbc in Brazil, some ppl don’t like it but most of Brazilians love it
Açai with a lil condensed milk is amazing, very energetic stuff.
Sounds delicious
I wonder what he would say seeing people from Minas Gerais eating banana with rice and beans and the varieties fried banana with sugar and cinnamon and banana chips.
😂
It's very cool to see a foreign talking about our food. I've been in Sweden once, our food is way better 😂
I forgive you for not liking chicken hearts and I grant you with the "Gringo friend of Brazil" award
If you like fish you should try the Moqueca Capixaba. It is made of shark.
Cool, will try it out one day!
All brazil use chicken heart in barbecue, but there is a pizza flavor tha is most used here in south(RS mostly)
👍
Orange on Feijoada is actually really clever from Brazilians because the Iron from the beans are digested better with vitamin C from the orange
Yes, chicken hearts are eaten throughout the country, but in my experience it's not something everyone loves. In my family, only my father likes them.
Also, the best brigadeiros are those bought ready, used aplenty in birthday parties. Homemade ones aren't that amazing, but still a nice dessert every now and then.
It’s true we do eat rice and beans everyday and as a Brazilian I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t eat rice and beans everyday. And barbecue to me is every weekend lmao
*reads title* oh no they realized we put everything single fucking thing on top of pizzas
Very Nice vídeo!!
Thanks
It's funny to see how the mix betwen many many cultures made Brazil very unique and willing to mix different foods. Chicken heart is the best freaking thing in this god forsaken planet
Best cuisines in Brazil: Bahia (for seafood), Minas (for heavy dishes) , the South (for barbecue), and Pará (for their unique ingredients and spices). Best city to eat anything you desire: Sao Paulo.
I am Brazilian, and I have never eaten beans or feijoada in my life. Brazilian people like feijoada ( beans, pork sausages, and beef stew) are because many years ago, the slaves that came from Africa taught us how to cook feijoada.
Thanks for explanation!
Im surprised a video about Brazilian food hasn't touched on our tradition of saying "I'm hungry for food", meaning we don't want fast foods, snacks, pizza, or that kind of stuff. But beans and rice, or feijoada, or any "homemade" healthy food. No overly processed food. You know, REAL food.
Just wanted to you nailed the "brigadeiro" pronunciation
😊
Açai from the North of Brazil can be very different. I think it is white and it is salty. The purple Açai usually have sugar and other things like Guarana, banana etc.
Nope. Pure açaí is not white, it's purple. Also it's not salty, it has a neutral taste.
Just for your reference, I was born and raised in Northern Brazil.
As I Brazilian I don't eat chicken hart nor feijoada. They are strange in my opinion.
I was shocked the first time I saw chicken hearts being served in Brazil
@@nordicinvestor Funny, there is an Americam vogler that loved to eat chicken heart. I also don't eat Sarapatel and Buchada ( there was a joke if the politician could eat them in central market to get votes). Both dishes are from Northeast of the country. So, in my opinion, with feijoada, those are the most strange food of the country. I forgot chicken with pardo souce/molho pardo (blood) from Minas Gerais.
@@nordicinvestor In other parts of the world chicken hearts and other parts are called animal protein and are mixed into hamburgers and sausages.
I am Brazilian and yes.. without some fresh oranges, feijoada does not work was well
What about Acarajé ?
😲
In addition, the right.forme to eat açai is with salt food like beef or fish, in noth of Brazil where açai came from they eat this way.
I didn't know, thanks for info!
Ironic that while I am watching this video I am in a cafe drinking coffee and eating pao de queijo
😂😂
Black American: we eat a lot of chicken legs!
Average Brazilian: hold my beer as I eat this single pizza who killed an entire village of chickens.
We don't kill chickens just for the heart. It would go to waste if we didn't eat it.
Because it's considered a delicacy that a lot of people love, it ends up being expensive, while the liver is incredibly cheap, but no one is killing an entire chicken, taking the heart and throwing everything else away.
Pão de queijo, is made with cheese, not cheese in the middle
With that title you have summoned half the country
About the slice of orange with "feijoada". Its more about healthy habits that how it taste. Feijoada has a lot of iron, and the vitamin C found in the orange, helps our stomach absorve more iron. Usually the slice of orange its the last thing you eat, you to clean your taste and have a sweet (and healthy) treat.
no no it´s delicious, the nutricion fact is a plus lol We eat together with the feijoada not at the end. But people can eat their oranges at the end at the beginning, you comand your meal lol
