Brazilian food and drink

Some Year 8 groups are finding out about food in Brazil. This information will help you to complete your work in class:

In Brazil, churrasco refers mainly to all of the meat cooked on the "churrasqueira", an oven with supports for spits or skewers, where the meat is put on.
Caruru is Brazilian food made from okra, onion, shrimp, palm oil and toasted nuts (peanuts and/or cashews).
Vatapá is Brazilian food made from bread, shrimp, coconut milk, palm oil and nuts (peanuts and/or cashews) mashed into a creamy paste.
In a real feijoada, every part of the pig is thrown into the pan. But the sight of the pig's ear, tail or snout floating in the feijoada will upset some people, so often only the best parts of the pig.
Guaraná is used as an ingredient in soft drinks and energy drinks and separately as a dietary supplement to promote health and weight loss.
