Northeast Brazilian The Northeast section of Brazil, mainly the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe, contains geographically of a thin, blooming coastal plain with abundant rainfall where most of the population is located, an evenly narrow transition zone called the Agreste, and a considerable semi-arid area called the Sertão, which is influenced by considerable cattle ranches. All kinds of tropical produce are grown on the coastal plain, with sugarcane and cacao being especially plentiful. Among the State of Bahia the prevalent cuisine is Afro-Bahian, which progressed from plantation cooks improvising on African, Amerindian, and old fashioned Portuguese dishes utilizing locally attainable ingredients. Typical dishes consist of vatapá, moqueca (both having seafood and palm oil), and acarajé (a salted muffin composed of white beans, onion and fried in palm oil (dendê) which is loaded 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 but other typical meals incorporate farofa, paçoca, canjica, pamonha and quibebe. In the remainder of the coastal plains there is less African influence on the food, but seafood, shellfish, coconut and tropical fruit are menu staples. Normally enjoyed tropical fruits in the North-eastern region include mango, papaya, guava, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, sweet sop, "hog-plum," sour sop, and cashew (both the fruit and the nut). All of these states have their differences in cuisine and type, being Bahia one of the most distinctive of them. In fact, Bahia is the sole Brazilian state where the food is spicy, and cafes will question you whether you want your meal “hot” or “cold”, which means “spicy hot” or not. They use a great deal of “pimenta” (pepper) and azeite de dende (a particular kind of oil) to cook their meals. Overall, though, most northeastern states will use tapioca flour and sun-dried beef (carne de sol). Shrimp and fish are also highly popular and low-priced. Another attribute of northeastern food is the quantity. Commonly, the dishes are truly large, and a dish can complete two to three people. Many 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 diners rather than the typical dinner time diners. This significantly changes how they serve meals, and how they price their dishes. Many lunch time diners are looking for a fairly relaxed dining experience, with a hearty and relatively quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having many hot dishes ready. Pricing is frequently by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, most places have both options available.
Sandwiches are thought of as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants typically serve up hot and healthy dishes for lunch in lieu of the typical North American light style lunches.
Meals are usually served and enjoyed on premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services. Of course the restaurants vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of cuisines.
For Brazilians it is very prevalent to return home during lunch to have their meal with their family members. This isn’t always viable, specifically in the larger meropolises, so restaurants have taken up the slack and designed a business model around catering to these individuals. In many of the considerably smaller cities it can be problematic to find a conventional sit down and order off the menu style eatery.
