Loved this, Madeleine!
Gosh... it all look...WOOOOW!<br />Loved this, Madeleine!<br />Gosh... it all looks so familiar to me! I mean, I eat black beans and farofa on a regular basis ;)<br />And you're absolutely right - farofa is made with "farinha de mandioca" (yucca flour), garlic, salt, and maybe sliced onion (if you're inclined). And it's absolutely amazing. You should come to Brazil someday - I'd love to show you the authentic brazilian cuisine!<br />Oh, and still on the farofa subject - we sometimes add scrambled eggs to the farofa mixture... We call it "farofa de ovo" (egg farofa), which tastes amazing, too :)<br />I wish I could send you some yucca flour right now (so cheap around here) so you could try making farofa by yourself. You'd love it, I'm sure.<br />My sister is obsessed about Açaí - which is commonly not a juice around here, but a thicker mixture of the fruit, like a smoothie or something. We eat it by the spoon, though - it's really like an ice-cream, texture wise.<br />Hahahaha - you probably noticed how excited I am about this subject ;)<br />Ohh, and on a last note - I just recognized the singer you guys were watching while at Taste of Brazil. Her name is actually Ivete Sangalo, and she's really popular around here. I personally adore her, she has an amazing voice and energy while on the stage, and some of her songs are incredibly beautiful.<br />Besides, reggae and axé can be really fun to watch/hear. Haha.<br />Thanks for posting this, love!<br />I feel very honored ;)<br />Hope you're having a great day - it's almost the weekend now!<br />xoxo<br />G.Gabriela.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18382027079128241516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938782053468322304.post-5166162765857664922011-01-06T15:15:28.657-08:002011-01-06T15:15:28.657-08:00Awww sweetie...you totally made me smile by saying...Awww sweetie...you totally made me smile by saying you're going for high tea! My boyfriend and I did the same thing on Monday. Traditionally we have cucumber sandwiches cut into fingers, loose leaf tea, fruit scones with clotted cream and jam and sometimes some mini pastries of some sort. It's so fun and so terribly british daaahling!

I'm sure you get to experience some great (and not so great) foods by exploring this way :)<br /><br />Your food looks really good---I had plantains once, and they were interesting and good.
