Northeast Brazilian The Northeast area of Brazil, mostly the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe, constitutes geographically of a narrow, fertile coastal plain with considerable rainfall where a great deal of the population is encountered, an likewise slender transition zone referred to as the Agreste, and a sizable semi-arid section named the Sertão, which is mastered by substantial cattle ranches. All sorts of tropical produce are raised on the coastal plain, with sugarcane and cacao being mainly extensive. Throughout the State of Bahia the main cuisine is Afro-Bahian, which developed from plantation cooks improvising on African, Amerindian, and old fashioned Portuguese recipes applying locally attainable ingredients. Traditional meals consist of vatapá, moqueca (both having seafood and palm oil), and acarajé (a salted muffin made with white beans, onion and fried in palm oil (dendê) which is stuffed with dried shrimp, red pepper and caruru (mashed okra with ground cashew nut, smoked shrimp, onion, pepper and garlic). The principal staple is a serving of white rice and black beans yet other popular meals comprise of farofa, paçoca, canjica, pamonha and quibebe. In the rest of the coastal plains there is less African impact on the food, however seafood, shellfish, coconut and tropical fruit are menu staples. Frequently enjoyed tropical fruits in the North-eastern region feature mango, papaya, guava, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, sweet sop, "hog-plum," sour sop, and cashew (both the fruit and the nut). Every one of these states have their variations in cuisine and fashion, being Bahia one of the most individual of them. In fact, Bahia is the single Brazilian state where the food is spicy, and bistros will ask you if you want your meal “hot” or “cold”, signifying “spicy hot” or not. They use a ton of “pimenta” (pepper) and azeite de dende (a particular kind of oil) to cook their meals. On the whole, however, most northeastern states will employ tapioca flour and sun-dried beef (carne de sol). Shrimp and fish are also truly in demand and cheap. Another feature of northeastern food is the quantity. Typically, the meals are pretty giving, and a dish can supply two to three people. Several of the preferred from this cuisine are “moqueca de peixe”, acaraje’, vatapa’, tapioca com coco e leite condensado, cashew juice, acerola juice, acai.

Restaurants in Brazil are generally setup to handle lunch time customers rather than the typical dinner time customers. This significantly changes how they prepare meals, and how they price meals. Many lunch time diners are looking for a fairly relaxed eating experience, with a healthy and reasonably quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having multiple hot dishes ready. Pricing is generally by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, many places have both options available. Sandwiches are considered a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants normally serve up hot and nutritious dishes for lunch as opposed to the typical North American light style lunches. Meals are typically served and eaten on premises, but many dining establishments also offer take-out and food delivery services. Of course the establishments differ greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of dishes. For Brazilians it is very prevalent to return home for lunch to have their meal with their families. This isn’t always practical, particularly in the larger cities, so restaurants have used this opportunity and designed a business around catering to these working families. In many of the smaller cities it can be challenging to find a everyday sit down and order off the menu style establishment.
