Amazing Brazilian Food

Brazil offers a cuisine rich in regional variety. The extraordinary food is a 1)fusion of the cooking heritage of four main groups of people: the native Indians, the Portuguese colonists, the descendants of African slaves and immigrants from Spain and Italy.

The Amazonians love jambo leaves, which they use to flavour stews and soups. Local cafes around the markets serve up delicious 2)chowder from early morning until mid afternoon. Jambo leaves are seasonal and have a very distinctive flavour, which isn’t to everyone’s taste. Wow! They’ve got a kind of mildest taste, really kind of 3)zesty, my tongue is 4)tingling. It’s a cross between a 5)stinging 6)nettle and a lime! It is so incredible! But this, this is the 7)pièce de resistance, the house specialty, and it’s 8)prawns and it’s cooked in pumpkin with a mango sauce. So let’s have a try...smells awesome! That is absolutely gorgeous: really creamy; the mango adds this delicious sweetness. Absolutely fantastic! And with this house cocktail, aren’t I a lucky girl?

The national cocktail here of Brazil is a Caipirinha, it’s made with cachaca which is like Brazilian rum. And these guys not only drink it at lunch and dinner but, in fact, any time or any place. Oh, thank you. That is so divine, I can’t tell you! It’s incredibly simple to make: you take fresh lime juice, a 9)pinch of sugar, loads of cachaca shake it over ice and that’s it. And it’s absolutely heaven made!

妙不可言的巴西美食

巴西有各式各樣的地區(qū)風(fēng)味美食，巴西不同尋常的美味佳肴融合了四個族群的烹飪傳統(tǒng)：土著印第安人、葡萄牙殖民者、非洲奴隸后代、來自西班牙和意大利的移民。

亞馬遜人喜歡蒲桃葉，用它來給燉肉和湯調(diào)味。市集四周的咖啡室從早上到下午都供應(yīng)雜燴海鮮湯，蒲桃葉來自季節(jié)性植物，味道獨特，并不是人人都喜歡。嘩，蒲桃葉味道很淡，又夾雜著辛辣。我覺得舌頭有點麻，味道介乎蕁麻和青檸之間。真是妙不可言！不過，這才是主菜，這里的招牌菜，芒果醬鮮蝦南瓜盅。讓我試試……很香，美味極了?？诟泻芑⒐鎏硖鹞?，美味無窮。配上這里自釀的雞尾酒佐食，我真幸運。

巴西的國家雞尾酒卡伊皮里尼亞，用一種與巴西朗姆酒相似的巴西甜酒調(diào)制而成。在這里，人們不僅在吃飯時喝它，隨時隨地都會喝這種酒。啊，謝謝。美味極了，真是無法言喻，它的做法其實很簡單：把鮮榨青檸汁、一點點糖、大量的巴西朗姆酒，加冰搖勻就行了。真是天賜佳釀！
