Um, the food I have over here? >_>

Magetastic · « **Reply #1076 on:** October 28, 2009, 04:34:53 AM »

I meant what is it? What's in it? What's it called? That kinda stuff.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1077 on:** October 28, 2009, 04:36:42 AM »

There are about billions of dishes that fit under that category, and that just dividing by regional appeal (seriously, it's like each region has a completely unique and bizarre cuisine over here). You're asking a bit much there. >_>

Isn't Brazilian food highly meat-intensive?

Yes, it is. It's also very spice-intensive in certain regions, although there is also a very vast variety of sweets and we do some... ah, interesting things with dairy products.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1080 on:** October 28, 2009, 05:04:50 AM »

well, put it another way. If you went down to the nearest 'home cooking' place, what'd they serve?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1081 on:** October 28, 2009, 05:06:13 AM »

Depends -entirely- on the region.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1082 on:** October 28, 2009, 05:08:29 AM »

You. Specifically. In your town. Dammit!

This is the country's capital and a manufactured city. I can go for "home cooking restaurants" from all regions from here, but it doesn't have a cooking tradition on its own. >_>

However, in my home state, a typical home cooking restaurant would have... hmmm. Feijoada is pretty country-wide, so that doesn't count, but we have special varieties of bean-based dishes (somewhat like a puree, but with a few particular spice veggies), traditional barbecue, specially prepared meats, rice prepared with certain kinds of legumes, dishes involving especially prepared flour with meats, eggs and vegetables and a vast variety of pastries and sweets (both having many varieties of dairy-based goods, others being very heavy on the fruit content).

I think he's just the most contrary and evasive.

Snow if you were any more evasive I'd call you Florina. Give a direct response you whore.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #1087 on:** October 28, 2009, 05:24:01 AM »

Feijoada?

So... like Mexican food but with more meat?

Also, I forgot to mention, we also have some pretty neat chicken-based stews and pot-cooked chicken dishes. Not bad.

And without the disgusting flatulence-inducing madness. Also, no guacamole. Not having guacamole makes -anything- better.

EDIT: Also, it's hard to give a direct response when just about 230% of the stuff I'd have to describe is untranslatable to English anyway.

EDIT 2: While it's still wikipedia, thus unreliable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_cuisine

Southeast cuisine is what I was mainly raised on, particularly Minas Gerais (my home state). Hope this is elucidative enough.

You're dead to me.

Also, dammit, now I want meat and beans.

(Side note: I live in a heavily Jewish neighborhood. What with the kosher butcher shops and grocery store you'd think there'd be a bagel place worth a damn. What the hell, Holliswood?)

Talking about Snow's meat-intensive regions

Having worked at KFC in my youth, I can tell you there is nothing grilled at KFC. It is deepfried. I don't care what it is. It is deepfried.

maybe less 'Idiot of the day' and more 'go fuck yourself' but this is pretty headdesk worthy.

EDIT: (omigod, I used headdesk like it was a word or something...)
