The Brazilian girl I'm dating is a great gal.

I'd love to surprise her and cook some Brazilian food.

A couple of problems however:

1. - I don't know what constitutes "Brazilian food" except for what I've had at places like Tucano's, Rodizio's...etc..etc..

2. - Has anyone here ever cooked something Brazilian and if so what did you cook and what would be good?

Is chimichurri sauce Brazilian? I love that stuff, and it's easy to make.

Nevermind, I looked it up, it's Argentinian.

I'm sure someone on here is an RM from Brazil.

Ok, I got curious and looked it up. This seafood stew, called Moqueca sounds really good. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/re...s/views/100966

I've only eaten Brazilian BBQ. Make her 10 pounds of various BBQ'd meats. That should impress her.

And buy a Brazilian soccer jersey. That sends the message that you are willing to spend $30 for a 5 second laugh from her.

I like the soccer jersey idea. There are some good websites with recipes. Order some Guarana soda over the internet and that will seal the deal!

I went out with a Brazilian girl three times. She always wanted Italian food.

Hope this helps.

You can get Guarana in many grocery stores in SLC (I think that is where you live?)

Yeah Guarana you can get anywhere.
