The menu is varied, usually including Japanese food, Pizza, or hamburger. Some prefer fancy restaurants, with a tasting menu and fine cuisine. In smaller cities, it is quite common to find families who are not in the habit of having a specific meal for dinner. In such cases, a coffee table is usually served in the late afternoon, with foods such as bread, toast, eggs, butter, and jam.
It is also common to serve homemade recipes at this time, such as cookies, cakes, and others. For those who like to eat at night, the options usually are similar to lunch, but avoiding unhealthy options like fried foods. Delivery is also quite common on Brazilian nights. Many people cook for lunch and prefer the comfort of ordering food at night, when they are most comfortable and looking to rest.
The most common options are fast food and pizza, but you can find everything, especially in big cities. And modesty aside: we really know how to make good food! A national passion, Coxinha can be found literally anywhere in Brazil. No matter how small the city is, you can find it in bakeries, snack bars, and restaurants. This soft dough filled with shredded chicken well-seasoned in the drop shape is mouth-watering. My personal favorite, this snack is overwhelming.
Pastel is a crispy crust snack shaped as a rectangle or a half-circle which holds various fillings inside before being deep-fried in vegetable oil. Despite being fried in a lot of oil, this recipe is dry and crunchy on the outside, in contrast to the soft filling. This recipe is literally a ball of ground beef, highly seasoned, breaded, and fried in boiling oil.
With a crunchy crust and a soft and juicy interior, this snack goes well at any time of the day, but it combines especially with a cold beer and a good pepper sauce.
Today, this fruit is known worldwide, usually served in bowls with fruit, granola and honey. The dish uses onions and ground-dried shrimp to give it an extra punch in flavor.
This snack is very spicy! Be careful. Brazilian cuisine is the result of a mixture of European ingredients and indigenous and African peoples. This delicious stew is slow cooked with prawns, coconut oil and milk with added vegetables. It is a typical dish from Bahia, but is loved all throughout Brazil. Fried cassava is a popular choice in Brazil as an alternative to chips. Joelho literally means knee in English, yet the food version is a thick, bread pastry with cheese and ham on the inside; it is the ultimate feel-good food.
Quindim is basically a flan with added coconut flakes. It is either served as a large cake or in tiny mouthful portions.
