Yara Berg from Brazil In the big cities such as Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro you will not see food stands everywhere, but you do see them in certain areas like parks, beaches, factories, school exits, or during special events such as parades, open-air concerts, and shows. Some of the most common food stands in Brazil sell popcorn, ice cream, corn on the cob, hot dogs, sugar cane bits or juice. But in a big country such as Brazil you will find a variety of food, depending on where you are. For example, if you are in Salvador, a city in the northeast state of Bahia, you will have, in addition to those already mentioned, other kinds of food stands, influenced by the large African Brazilian population. When I was living in Rio de Janeiro, I loved taking a walk on the beach and stopping at one of the many food stands to buy a green coconut and drink its delicious coconut milk and eat its soft edible part.
