It is not because I am Brazilian, but I have to say the foods and beverages from this country are delicious.
It doesn't matter where you are from or what is your taste like, when you come to Brazil, you have to make sure that you try these things:
Coxinha
This one is made out of potato and chicken, then fried. Believe me when I say that it is sooooo good, nothing compares to it. You can usually find it in bakeries.
2. Pão de Queijo
It is like a cheese bread and it is also soooo good (I think I might be a little biased). It is often eaten during breakfast and can be found in lots of places: bakeries, grocery stores, conveniece stores and sometimes even on restaurants.
3. Brigadeiro
This little balls are made with chocolate and condensed milk. It usually gets so many likes from the chocolate lovers!
4. Capirinha
This one is for the ones over 18 (this is the drinking age in Brazil), it is made out of fruit and cachaça (a distilled spirit), if you want you can also add sugar or trade the cachaça for vodka.
5. Açaí
