the anticipation
[Music]
hello everyone and welcome to self holo
we made it to the big city and today we
are extremely hungry so we're going to
be eating great we always love starting
things off in a new city with trying
some local foods we don't normally
devote an entire video to one food but
today we're going to be trying in a
national dish of Brazil so it seems very
appropriate
so before we'd arrived in Brazil we've
never even heard of this dish before but
every local we talk to you every person
who's told us we have to try that it's
delicious it's called fresh water so
we've come to a place come Felina it's
in the neighborhood that we're staying
it could be one of the better places to
get finished in the neighborhood and so
traditionally what I've read is the
dishes usually only served usually on
Saturdays sometimes Sundays but it's
meant to be like a big family thing so
it problems the weekends sometimes
Wednesdays and they think about this
restaurants that you can get it every
day of the week so we sat down and they
immediately asked us if we're having
fish water we said yes and then as you
can see they just ambushed us with food
and all these little appetizers and this
is going to be really interesting I was
not expecting all of it one of the
things they have is a little cheese ball
I don't remember how to say it totally
in Portuguese something like how that
Keijo or something like that so like
there you get them everywhere here we
have them at breakfast at one of our
hotels there's so delicious they've got
like cheese in the middle
I could eat you go away ever forget we
also have a Medellin of milk here and
what looks like fries so this looks like
bacon I'll try that in a second I
believe this is pork rinds and we have
some fries but they might be I don't
know if they're like potato fries you
know they're really thick intense they
kinda remind me of a yuca fried is very
tasty they're soft on the inside and
super crispy the fried to perfection
let's try some of the bacon is my jam
that's delicious it's very salty
some of the more salty bacon I've tried
in a while but it's gonna do the trick
today I'm gonna try this pork rind now
now I'm normally not a big fan of these
but today a half a tribe
crunchy take me along with you I've
never had a four grind this crunching
before so they brought up the little
thing of soup with the to me I'm not
going to eat it with the Proximus
because that might be a challenge looks
maybe like a black bean I'm gonna drink
it but I just wanted to explain some
stuff first it's like we're not from
here we don't speak the language and
we're gonna do this wrong today I'm
totally fine please let us know what we
did wrong and like the proper way to do
things but peanut butter please also we
might not be sure what some of the foods
are like the soup
they said coming over but we can't tell
now maybe you know now is it like a
tomato or something no if it is black
bean it's got like onions amazing like
Twinkie onion all right guys the food
has arrived
it came up really really quickly it
looks really intense so I'm gonna give
you guys a little bit of background from
some of the research that I did about
this dish it's made primarily out of
black beans and then a bunch of
different cuts of meat primarily pork I
believe there may be a little bit of
beef in there as well I'm in the word
freshwater I am still saying that
correctly actually comes from the
Portuguese term black beans that's the
main part of the dish and what I even
read about it and I'm not sure how
accurate this actually is or not is that
it goes back to the time of slavery in
Brazil and it was the slaves mainly made
this dish in at the time you made it out
of the cuts of pork that were kind of
like the leftovers that their slave
masters didn't walk like the ears the
tongue like all that kind of like not
most appealing cuts now I think there's
still some of that in there but they use
a little higher you're a better customer
of meetings I am so incredibly excited
to try this out so I mix it all together
I got some pork on there lots of beans
this smells so good you guys you can see
the steam coming off that all the
anticipation oh the anticipation
delicious
[Music]
it is packed with flavor this is our
kind of thing Anna I can tell you right
now waver just hit you in the mouth
I hate those feelings right away and
mixed in with the rice let's never go
wrong with like rakes and beans but the
meat it's just so soft again it's like
kind of that perfect perfect perfection
like crispy on the outside soft on the
inside
this is really good I love that there's
other things you can pair with there's
some beans on there as well there's the
orange and there's different pieces of
pork like Anna said really excited about
this dish so far so it could be wrong
about this but I think the orange is for
like your palate between bite maybe I'm
not really sure something like that but
I don't know you're supposed to eat it
directly with it but anyway I'm gonna
actually give this a go I'm a little
nervous you guys probably know that I'm
not a big meat-eater eight so a little
bit of course but like not a lot there's
kind of some intimidating cuts of meat
in here like maybe tongue hopefully if I
eat a piece of tongue I don't I won't
know it but I'm gonna get some hot sauce
on there
I love
[Music]
so good so it's like super Hardy with me
of black beans I can see whether you
totally fill you up the kind of meat
that I just had I think of a sausage I'm
gonna go with that very very tender and
like barely has to chew it and then
that's hot sauce just add that little
bit of like bite to it that little extra
spiciness I'm really enjoying this I'm
still a little intimidated by it but
yeah it's so delicious look at the meat
on this rib so like this is just I don't
even need the knife Wow it just looks
absolutely perfect give a shot
you guys
you know it I see why this is the
national dish you guys know what you are
doing here it is so good I can't get
over this this is just so fun so we did
actually find a YouTube video on how to
eat this
they all had it on one plate to begin
with momentum is a more confusing when
it all kind of separate but if I
understood properly you basically eat
the rice and the beans and the meat kind
of together and then everything else is
sort of a side to it so like you get a
bite ya add a little bit of this maybe
I'm wrong there but I think that's what
I got from my research
[Music]
alright let's talk about the price of
that dish that was 25 US dollars per
person it was easily one of the more
expensive meals we had in a long time
yeah and that doesn't include the 10
percent tip that was automatically added
on him each had a beer so it was really
really excessive in the long run I think
they maybe accidentally ordered
all-you-can-eat well hold on we didn't
actually order anything it just started
to arrive they just bombarded us with
food which is great so there's a
language barrier right like we don't
speak Portuguese at all yeah we needed
to say like what exactly it was still
worth it in the enemies just we weren't
expecting that and at one point that
came back and tried to replace the main
dish which we had to really know yeah
there's no way we can possibly still did
it so anyway it was a great experience
it was so cool we got to try it now
we're gonna go back to our hotel we have
to pack because we're going off to the
next very table over here just great we
walk over this way we have a giant
television and probably my favorite
feature there's a very long desk where
you can just set up your laptop and get
all the work done that you need and trip
it over here there's a really great
story
get really good if you're staying in
South for a long time perfect here we
have a very cozy is so next to the bed
you have your closet and then you have
this really nice vanity area it's nice
and bright you also have your toilet and
you have a walk-in shower
and this might be the best part we are
on the 28th floor it happens to be the
premium floor
and there's a little balcony out here
with this amazing view of the whole city
look at that absolutely beautiful
Wow are we high up
[Music]
alright I hope you guys enjoyed that
little room tour now we are all checked
out and we are ready to go so let's talk
about this it was a really big meal to
start things off I know in a lot of
countries mainly outside of North
America its traditional to eat your big
meal like in the middle of the day we
are really hard time with that yeah we
do I mean that's just such a big meal
you know it was meant to just kind of
keep on going and sit down and enjoy it
for a few hours and that's really all
you would have to eat yeah we aren't
used to it I'm sure if we lived here or
something like that we get used to it we
know it's very traditional but we all
say it was very good we're very happy we
are kicking off South Paulo by trying
the national dish but away really
delicious we always love like rice and
beans and then you can add spice into it
like yeah yeah now guys if you happen to
