Feijoada is Brazil's most celebrated culinary tradition, consisting of a rich black bean and meat stew. In Portuguese, it is 'a feijoada'. Down south, the barbecue culture of the gaúchos centres around 'o churrasco', which means barbecue or grilled meats.

From the state of Minas Gerais comes 'o pão de queijo', a soft, warm cheese bread roll made from sour manioc starch. Another favourite across Brazil is 'a coxinha de frango', a teardrop-shaped pastry filled with shredded chicken.
