Northeast Brazilian The Northeast area of Brazil, chiefly the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, and Sergipe, contains geographically of a slim, fertile coastal plain with considerable rainfall where most of the population is found, an uniformly narrow transition zone referred to as the Agreste, and a sizable semi-arid zone called the Sertão, which is mastered by significant cattle ranches. All kinds of tropical produce are grown on the coastal plain, with sugarcane and cacao being significantly extensive. Throughout the State of Bahia the prevalent cuisine is Afro-Bahian, which developed from plantation cooks improvising on African, Amerindian, and classic Portuguese dishes making use of locally existing ingredients. Common dishes include 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 key staple is a dish of white rice and black beans yet other widespread dishes include farofa, paçoca, canjica, pamonha and quibebe. In the remainder of the coastal plains there is less African impact on the food, but seafood, shellfish, coconut and tropical fruit are menu staples. Usually enjoyed tropical fruits in the North-eastern region consist of 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 versions in cuisine and type, being Bahia one of the most particular of them. In fact, Bahia is the single Brazilian state where the food is spicy, and dining places will question you if you want your meal “hot” or “cold”, signifying “spicy hot” or not. They use a good deal of of “pimenta” (pepper) and azeite de dende (a particular kind of oil) to cook their meals. On the whole, however, most northeastern states will use tapioca flour and sun-dried beef (carne de sol). Shrimp and fish are also very popular and cheap. Another characteristic of northeastern food is the amount. Usually, the portions are truly large, and a dish can suit two to three people. Many of the favorites from this cuisine are “moqueca de peixe”, acaraje’, vatapa’, tapioca com coco e leite condensado, cashew juice, acerola juice, acai.
Sandwiches are the most popular type of snack in Brazil. While sandwiches are commonly a complete dinner in North America, they are considered a light snack in Brazil. This is generally due to the way they are prepared, with limited meats, vegetables and cheeses used. Sandwiches are usually two slices of bread, mayo, cheese and meat. Sandwiches aren't the only type of snack available though!
A modest pastel, pao-de-queijo, or a croquete (ground beef breaded and deep fried) are common options as well. Some people even have sandwiches for dinner, which is always a smaller meal for most Brazilians.
Sandwiches can also be the Sao Paulo “Beirute” and the Southern Brazil “X-burger”. The latter is bigger than a regular cheeseburger and may also be filled with a variety of meats, from chicken, to beef, to pork, and even chicken hearts! The name comes from the way Brazilians pronounce “cheese”, which evolved into the shortened version “X” (sheeez). The Beirute is a much larger sandwich. This sandwich is toasted and also much larger than a regular hamburger or cheeseburger. It has a Arab influence, as the name “Beirute” suggests.
