so it's a dollar
what's up guys we are in copacabana and we started seeing that there are a ton of street food carts
everywhere this is exactly what we look for when we get to a new place because we love street food
so so far while walking we've seen some acai some corn pastel lots of
different options so we're going to be trying those today and showing you those
okay first off of the day we're having acai it's our favorite breakfast in
brazil and this time we're having it from a food cart so this will be interesting
should we share one okay what do you think you want on it okay so that's uh like a condensed milk
the acai
sprinkles because then it makes it look happy so they have like a granola some nuts of some
sort some candy cocoa coconut and we usually get banana on there too the price for the
cup by itself is 12. so a little over a dollar dollar not two dollars or two dollars 2.50 my
favorite part that's a happy acai bowl so they do a layer in the middle and then they do one on top
so it's uh you can give them a little more maybe
all right let's take this to the sand real quick
just awesome you can grab your food so quickly grab a drink whatever you want and just bring it
five feet and you're in the sand with the beach rio is awesome first bite
this is the best breakfast food in brazil it's healthy refreshing light for those
of you who don't know acai is a berry that comes from the amazon rainforest
so it's very popular in brazil it's starting to get more popular in other areas but they
serve it here everywhere it comes from a palm tree a certain kind of palm tree
like one of those all right so we're going to finish this up and see what else we can find
okay so we're getting a chicken and we're getting a
calabrese which is runs with calabrese so it's probably like a salami
to real so that's like 50 cents less than 50 cents is it really only two wow yeah it says right here
thank you they look pretty much bite-sized which is kind of nice when you're trying new things
just to see if you like it yeah that's awesome that you can get these were probably
less than these are less than 25 cents each
so it's like a fried joe with the chicken inside this one seems like it's just a big
layer of cheese that's actually really good salty hammy cheesy with a crunch on the outside
so street food is our favorite for many reasons one of them being is it's usually a lot cheaper
and you get to walk around and soak in the vibe and the culture of where you're at
while trying their food um it's a good way to talk to many different locals when
you approach their cart they're usually very grateful when you give them business
it's cool because you can try so many more things if you sit at a restaurant you probably get to try
one or two things and that's your whole meal but here you just get little bite-sized pieces and
you get to try a ton of foods all at once really immerse yourself in the culture and get to know it
better faster and in this particular scenario we have a view of the beach pretty soon we'll
get some drinks that we can just drink while we're walking around and drink on the beach
hello self-service ice cream you can you can help yourself as you want it cool
it's good it kind of tastes like coconut what's that cornflakes cornflakes
okay
um that's probably good okay
okay let's try this ice cream really quick i think they call it sorbette
very creamy ice cream it tastes like a coconut ice cream almost it's supposed to be like a
cream with chocolate chip but i taste mostly coconut pay one flat price a little over a
dollar and just fill it up with stuff that's pretty good look at this beach and this music
okay let's cross one more off the list we had to get a coconut
from a coconut bin while we were here these things look awesome so you can get one
for five rail or a two for nine we're gonna get the one for five which is about a dollar u.s
if you don't know by now we're a little obsessed with these coconuts
they're so cheap hydrating healthy and what a fun way to drink something
a natural coconut oil it's the best way to stay hydrated
so we keep seeing this drink around guarana and finally we just saw it at a street food cart
and it's a small one so we don't have to get the big one in case we don't like it we just
have a mini version so let's just give it a try it's called it's ice cold we'll see
what it tastes like we see this all over brazil it's a sweet it almost tastes like a sparkling
water that's sweeter than sparkling water it doesn't taste quite like a soda i wouldn't say
yeah it's just it's just like sugar it's like sugar carbonation maybe a little syrupy
i like that but it doesn't have a ton of a flavor each in any direction like a fruit or anything
is guarana a fruit i think yeah if you guys know is this a fruit it looks like a little
berry in the picture but we have no idea i like it yeah that's great refreshing guarana
refreshing for one dollar or no it wasn't a dollar this was 25 cents not even this is like 20 cents
for this wow so the nice gentleman at the sorbet cart he told us that it's pretty much the acai the
and then ice cream that they're selling on this boardwalk so i don't think this is going
to be an extensive video on street food but at least from those street carts we can try going
to some of these kiosks which are kind of more like restaurants but they're not really they're
just little stands that have enough seating to be maybe considered like a restaurant but it's
still on the beach it's still on the street so we'll get a few foods at places like that
so if you're gonna do a food tour of your own copacabana
is a great place to do it although there's not a huge variety for the trucks
you do have some things on the beach you have some sellers on the beach some little stands
selling barbecue it looks like and then you have these kioskies over here that you can also try
so copacabana is the most famous boardwalk in the world and we can see why this place is beautiful
there's so much going on and even at this time during covid there's still a ton of people here
a ton of awesome food and drink everywhere live music playing and we're coming up to the end of
it here so it probably takes about an hour to walk just walk from one end to another
is that like a t so we don't know quite what this is but it looks interesting
it looks like it could be a t and he keeps it in two different canisters
this is the cheese with sugar without sugar then the sweetener with mardi gras
cool so it's a dollar
okay come on
okay
awesome guy right there look at that that is so unique they continued to fill us up he told us
to drink some and then fill us up with some more i think a little bit more of the lime compared to
the the tea or something we got the tea without the sugar and then we added the lime sweetener
that is so good i was not expecting it to be anything great it was just tea but wow
you can choose it with sugar or without sugar and lindsey went with the without sugar but
still there's just enough sweetness there to where it's really refreshing and still amazing
without being overly sweet i will be getting this again this is perfect for a beach day
i've never seen someone with tea walking around yeah that guy's awesome we've noticed so far
brazilians are very friendly some parts of the world they don't really want you to film them
they don't want to be on camera they don't want pictures or they want to be paid for
the pictures but here they seem to welcome it yeah they seem to tell you like oh hey
take a picture and then i always expect that they're gonna want some money after but
so far no they just want to be nice and let us take videos of them and even talk on camera
we haven't really noticed anyone trying to take advantage of us or anything charging us more than
they should i'm sure it does happen in brazil but we haven't had any bad experiences yet i'd say
the average of the street foods and drinks and all that that we've gotten is probably a dollar
for each thing that's a good average i love this this is my favorite part of the day right here
more coconuts more acai tea music live band
just when we were gonna give up on our street food tour because everything was looking the same
tons of acai tons of coconuts we found this it looks like it might be called milhou
okay so we're getting some corn roasted corn it looks good we've seen it
yeah whoops i just spilled on alex the butter or whatever it is dripping
oh it looks good hey obrigado
i'm not a huge fan of these coins they sell on the street
actually in a lot of countries they do this i don't think they do this in the u.s
at all so i thought it was odd the first time i came across it like five years ago but then
i started seeing it everywhere now we saw this in mexico too yeah i guess it's a typical thing
uh in a lot of places to eat this as a street food in the middle of the day it's a good little snack
i'm not gonna eat it because it gets all stuck in my teeth and it will not leave unless i have floss
which i don't so i don't want to be uncomfortable all day so i'm going to leave this one to lindsay
one last thing to finish off this food tour alex is excited it is a churro or a
hola
okay this is burning my hand i need you to take this okay if you saw there he took the churro he
rolled it in some cinnamon sugar and then he used the machine to pump it with this which i guess is
a dolce de leite what is it looks like peanut butter it looks like a caramel or something
wow really buttery and warm it melts in your mouth
i love churros so we made an entire video on a day in copacabana if you want to see that
