Brazilian Food:Native Fruits, Veg's, and Recipes

[Sashia]

I made it a point to stop at a few Brazilian places to eat during my stay in NYC. (There's nothing like that here at home, sigh), and I find that I've taken an interest in Brazilian culture. Here is a wonderful site that is preparing to do a series on food.

Great stuff! that's our weekend drink here
It is great with other fruits too, passion fruit for instance!

The only thing though... I've seen reports on some of these farms before (not this particular one) as the teen workers were tasting way too much of that delicious sugar cane... addicting... and bad habit for underage folks!
