The most tipical brazilian food is _FEIJOADA_ (black beans boiled with diferent kinds of meats) to eat with rice and farinha (it's a kind of flour made of cassava),  a kind of leaves sliced and fried, orange and caipirinha, and _BARBECUE of many diferent kinds of meat_. You can find them everywhere.
