Photo from Joselia Muñoz Joselia Muñoz eating feijoada with family and friends. Feijoada is the most famous Brazilian dish. It is made of black beans with different kinds of meat such as ribs, pork, sausage, dried beef, and bacon. It is served with rice and collard greens prepared with olive oil, orange, and fanofa, which is made of garlic, onion, butter, eggs, and manioc (a special flour). This dish is usually served at lunchtime because it is a little heavy and you need time to digest it, even if you eat the orange to help your digestion. Feijoada originated from the leftovers that upper class people in the past left for their slaves, but it has become sophisticated. It is a delicious dish, and if you go to Brazil, I recommend that you try it.   More international foods: Why Don't You Try Silig | You'll Love Quiche Lorraine Kimchi, the Most Famous Food in Korea | Venezuelans Love Arepas Return to: Our Traditional Foods | Issue 7 | Home Page TOPICS Online Magazine ©1997-2008 - Sandy and Thomas Peters - topics.mag@gmail.com
