• In my few days there, my mouth had the pleasure of meeting with the exquisite Ms. Caipirinha (home-made ones, bar-made ones, frozen ones; I will HAVE to get more of those), numerous shots of cafezinho and other Brazilian coffee in its various delectable forms, Moqueca (twice home-made, and once on the plane!), lots of Guaraná (the kids drink it like cooldrink!), some açaí na tigela, farofa, several instances of the typical Brazilian mix of rice, beans and somehow integrated manioc, fried banana, a churrasco that brought tears of joy to my braai-attuned South African eyes and finally, the cake of all cakes, the sweetness that can make a grown man whimper: The Torta Paulista. —  cpbotha.net
