Feijoada is considered by many as the national dish. It consists of stew of pork, sausage and smoked meat cooked with black beans and garlic, garnished with slices of orange. It is mostly served during the weekends.

Barreado: this is a mixture of meat and stew; it is cooked for 24 hours and served with banana and farofa.

Carangueijada: this is a whole cooked crab.

Caruru: This is an African dish that is made from ladies fingers (Okra), onions, shrimp, peppers and oil.

Cozido: A Brazilian stew made from potatoes, carrots and vegetables.

The traditional dishes vary greatly by area, although most of them are known throughout the country, even if they are not the traditional dish for that area.

The staple lunch throughout Brazil is beans and rice with some type of protein (often eggs or meat where I'm from).

Some of the traditional dishes include:

  • Feijoada - A type of "stew" of sorts, made with beans. One then adds in bits of meat (usually pork sausage) and whatever else is traditional for that area.
  • Mandioca frita - Fried cassava. Cassava is a type of tuber root not unlike a potato. It's a popular vegetable in Brazilian cuisine in many ways.
  • Quibe - Okay. Quibe is technically traditionally Lebanese, but in Brazil it is as common as any officially traditional food. Which makes sense, considering there is a larger population of Lebanese in Brazil than in Lebanon itself. Quibe is made with a special type of wheat that is soaked in water for hours so it puffs up and is then mixed with meat and spices. It can then be fried (a traditional snack at birthday parties), baked, or eaten raw with olive oil and bread.
  • Churrasco - Churrasco (barbecue) is very popular in Brazil. There are restaurants, called churrascarias, that specialize in churrasco. The waiters come around with meat cuts and cut you a piece right there and then. When you don't want any meat you turn a little wheel from green to red, and the waiters know to not stop at your table. Some restaurants have special meats offered, such as crocodile or capybara. For children (especially young children) the most popular meat choice (which can be found at any Brazilian churrascaria without a doubt) is chicken hearts. Yup. Hearts. They're really yummy. :)
  • Pastel - A(usually) fried pastry that contains some type of filling. The two "traditional" flavours are meat and cheese, though nowadays there are hundreds of different flavours to choose from. They are made into specific shapes to tell apart the flavours. Cheese is made into the shape of a half-moon, while meat is fried into a square. (NOTE: Not to be confused with the Spanish slang of the same name, which means "cake")
  • Acarajé - Aseafood pastry originally from the state of Bahia, now popular all over Brazil. It is (as far as I know) usually fried into dumpling-like pastries.
  • Mexido - Literally, "stirred". It's a dish where you get bits of whatever's leftover in the fridge and cook it all up in a pan together. There's really no "official" version. The common mix in my house often includes rice, beans, scrambled eggs, bits of meat/sausage, onions, chives, and farofa (a toasted cassava flour gritty powder).
  • Moqueca - A seafood dish that usually uses either fish or shrimp.
  • Pamonha - A paste made with corn and milk that is wrapped in corn husks and boiled into a a dumpling. My have filling, or may not.
  • Buchada de bode - A dish traditional to the Northeast that uses (cleaned) goat organs, including intestines, kidneys, and liver.
  • Vaca atolada - Literally, "bogged down cow". A type of stew made with beef.

There are also very traditional desserts that are served at birthday parties. The most common are:

  • Brigadeiro - Literally, "brigadier". It's made with condensed milk and chocolate powder heated on a pan with a couple other ingredients.
  • Beijinho - Literally, "little kiss". It's made with powdered milk, coconut milk, and sugar.
  • Olho de sogra - Literally, "mother in law's eye". It is made of a beijinho inside a dried plum.
  • Romeu e Julieta - Literally, "Romeo and Juliet". Usually made with a type of guava sweet and a type of cheese. Like with any traditional food the additions of other ingredients vary from family to family.
  • -de-moleque - Literally, "foot-of-troublemaking child". A dessert made with peanuts and molasses.
  • Cajuzinho - Literally, "little cashew". It is made with peanuts, cashews, and sugar and molded to the shape of a little cashew.
