Just take a look at some of our habits , drinks and food appreciated around Brazil.

Just take a look at the attachements .. our typical fruit etc..

I am browsing the links now :-)

I read that Maria-Brazil first link you gave, is that where you got Nana-Brazil from you copier?

Hmm; I liked those fruit photos, I don't even know the names of some of them, and I didn't have breakfast yet!!

What was that photo named "cafezinho"? I thought I'd see some small café, and saw that small thingy!!

And..is it a French name for that café there: "Le Bon Jus", or is it just me?

By the way, many Brazilian people are amazed by the French language :-)

lolllllllllllllllllll Dear Asma.....

1st. No, I did not copy Nana Brazil from Maria`s.. I just found her site yesterday.
2nd. Cafézinho (little coffee - as an affective way) - café = coffee... We do that like the Italians do to "cafferino" - this diminutive indicates in this case affection. Like Asminha ..
3rd. I do not know about French names well but I think this influence comes from the earlier times when Portuguese Crown was ruling here and the court loved the French style and copied it a lot

But this is only my humble opinion. Maybe Yeahcarl or Buddy know it better

4th . about the fruit...

from left to right:

first fruit = cashew - named "CAJÚ" here
second = avocados(abacates), apples (maçãs), pears (pêras), pineapples(abacaxis), melons (melões) etc..
third = melons ( melões)
forth = papaya ( mamão papaya - a small and sweet kind) - papaya in general are called just mamão (obs: 1 mamão 2 mamões ..heheh)
fifth = pitangas (don`t know if there is a translation for them)
eight = acerolas ( very very rich in vitamin C)

Nana-

Are her recipes traditional?

Do you think they reflect Brazilian cooking accurately?

Nana_Brazil · 07-24-2005, 02:48 AM

Hi dear Zadi.. well I just took a quick look at them and I think yes.. It`s traditional. But you know, even here among us, there are differences like the case of the cuscuz, because Brazil is very big and each region has different habits and also Brazilian cooks love to create in the kitchen

I will check carefully and tell you another time if I notice something. Buddy and Yeahcarl can also do the same, because all of us belong to different regions. ok

?

Barbecue.. ok... just a correction to MARIA lol she said rodízio it is the name here, but in English I would say "all you can eat restaurant".
Caipirinha and caldo de cana ok... but we call GARAPA here.
Batidas or cocktail ok... although she uses some different ingridients here and there but there is no problem.

Appetizers hum is a little bit sophisticated lol. In my city people eat salame, cheese and olives or others...
