A<\/strong>mericans have a passion for bacon, but the Brazilian bacon is very different.\u00a0 They do have the thin-sliced bacon in Brazil if you look for it, but this is mostly what you find:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I cut into small pieces and use it in my beans, but I have yet to try slicing it very thin and frying it. I am guessing the fat is desired, probably for soups. \"\"<\/a>I am guessing this is something most people have seen in the US, just not me. I purchased a whole chicken to roast in the oven and upon unwrapping it, I see that the butcher was kind enough to leave the feet and head inside for my consumption. I didn’t really notice the head until I picked it up thinking it was just a large gizzard. No, I did not cook these, as they were donated to the lixo <\/em>(trash). But think, how would anyone eat a chicken head? My research tells me they boil it and suck the brains out.\"\"<\/a>It was not uncommon to see whole goats hanging in the markets in Russia, and in Ethiopia, one of my local technicians wanted to gift us with a lamb for the holidays. It was delivered fresh to the Embassy with blood still dripping out of the wrapping.\u00a0 We took it home and put it in the freezer and gave most of it away, because it was just too much for us to eat.<\/p>\n

This is a picture I posted several years ago while in Ethiopia, of a man on a bicycle taking his lamb to be butchered for the upcoming holidays.\u00a0 I’m kinda thinking the lamb is enjoying his last ride.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a good friend who I used to work with, who has invested in a restaurant with several others.\u00a0 We ordered some of the food online and got this:\"\"<\/a>We were very impressed with that, and here is another online purchase.\u00a0 It reminds me of the typical Brazilian BBQ where it is cooked, sliced and placed out for all to eat. The Brazilian BBQ is a social event with people milling about and eating with their fingers as soon it is served.\"\"<\/a>Here is Dani’s attempt to make stuffed peppers.\u00a0 Not spicy, but sweet with a lot of flavor.\u00a0 She will get hotter peppers next time.\u00a0 Someday she will make these for the Family Reunion.\"\"<\/a>Okay. Visit more later.\u00a0 D&D<\/p>\n
