The Fuzzy Chef & Friends

I just got back from my annual trip to Brazil, and was reminded how little most North Americans know about the food there.

First of all, it's delicious. Especially the fruit.

Second, there are as many regional cuisines in Brazil as there are in the US, and they're just as distinct. If you've been to a Brazilian restaurant, that means that you've sampled only one of the types of food Brazil has to offer. I've had the pleasure of sampling many more of them. Let's start with breakfast.

I really adore it. All kinds, except maybe stuff with lots of meat. But it's very easy to be a vegetarian in Southern India; there are always ample, clearly marked vegetarian options on every menu. Product of a society which is more than 1/2 vegetarian.
