The very next day, after stuffing ourselves full of coxinha, my teammates took me out for a traditional Brazilian lunch at a place called Colher de Pau. Everyone said that this is the place they go for family dinners, so I knew this was the spot.
I put all the ordering duties in the hands of my Google friends and wow, it was delicious. Everything was done 'family style' and shared at the table. We had a huge dish of cheesy rice & beans, dried meats, regular rice, curried cod, fried banana, and fresh fruit juices. Fruit and fruit juice is big here....you can order it at almost every restaurant and we have a juice squeezing machine here in the office. Aside from the juicing fruits, the tropical fruits are UNreal. I have papaya and mango with every breakfast and it's so ripe and perfect. Ok, I'm hungry just typing this post.
