#3 thing I love most about Brazil is......






Rodizio, One of the best inventions ever. Wikipedia defines rodizo as a style of restaurant service in Brazilian restaurants. One pays a fixed price and the waiters bring an offering of food to each customer at several times throughout the meal, until the customers signify that they have had enough. In churrascarias, servers come to the table with knives and a skewer, on which are speared various kinds of meat, most commonly local cuts of beef, pork, or chicken. There are other Rodízio style restaurants, for example serving pasta or pizza rodizio (where various pizzas are brought on trays). 


I love the fact that they describe it as the waiters bring you an offering, it kinda makes me feel kingly. So Rodizio is becoming well known now in the USA, almost everyone has been to one, but I can say I have been to Rodizios in the USA and I have visited Rodizios in at least 3 states of Brazil. Tips for a great Rodizio experience, If you are just wanting to try Brazilian food, go ahead and have a small helping of the buffet that is offered, otherwise Rodizio has one purpose, MEAT! You go to a Rodizio to eat beef, chicked and pork. They are usually expensive so make sure that you don't waist to much stomach space on rice and beans, something that is easy to make at home. Also, the one thing you cannot forget to try is guarana. Its a Brazilian soda pop that is a MUST. If you are really feeling crazy, ask for an orange wedge to be put in your guarana. So there it is my friends, Number 3 on the list, Rodizio. Até logo e um abraço
