Fooooddddd

The biggest meal for Brazilians is lunch. I know many houses who don't serve breakfast or dinner - or they'll just drink coffee and eat a sandwich (bread , ham, cheese, butter) for breakfast , and soup and coffee for dinner. Coffee is served with every meal. Fresh juice is made and served daily. I don't have any variety in my meals, however most other houses will have different meals daily. Also, many of the host parents will cook breakfast and dinner just for the host children - because they know in America we like to eat big breakfasts and dinners, lol. Also, we all stay with pretty wealthy families. Most of our families have hired a lady to come during the week, prepare the meals, clean the house, wash clothes... Etc. 

Fresh squeezed juice every day ! Lemon, pineapple, passion fruit , mango, strawberry , banana smoothie, etc..... Tudo bem



Amazing ice cream I had at the VIP movie theatre where I paid $9 USD for an electric reclining leather seat with full drink/food service during the 3D movie....

Pineapple, passion fruit, mango juice during a live music show.

Shot of maracuja alcohol (passion fruit) 

Mango sorbet 

Chicken balls ? Not really sure what it was, but it's good!

Some of the food one of my friends host family cooked for us in their island house ! Sooooo good, Brazilian barbecue taste like heaven...



Fruit called piña ... Not anything like a pineapple, but still very sweet and good. You eat the white part and spit out the seeds... I don't think I can compare the taste to any other American fruit .


I eat ham and cheese sandwiches every day and with every meal.



Fried bananas, like plantain but sooo muh better . With sugar and Indian spices.
Vitamina de banana- banana smoothie !! Soooo good


A root we eat often - taste sort of like a potatoe but has a different consistency 


Rice and beef !


Brazilians drink coffee with every meal! Breakfast is even called café de amanhã ! Roughly Translated to :coffee of the morning 
Pumpkin soup 

Boiled bananas- very different but veryyyy good ! These bananas are closer to plantain than to American bananas  . They  don't have American bananas here . Brazilian bananas are the small ones, however the ones you boil and fry are very large. 

Food from a churrascaria we went to. If you've never been to a Brazilian barbecue restaurant before.....you're missing out big time. Buffet all you can eat style , and the waiters constantly walk around with freshly cooked meat and will come to your table and cut pieces off for you. You get a card with green and red sides- green means keep bringing the meat, red means stop and let me finish my plate first . Mine was on green the entire time. 

This is what I eat every day for lunch and dinner. Beans, rice , potato salad, chicken, spaghetti . However not all host houses eat the same meal every day . Most houses switch it up .

Random eggs that were served with my meal.
