all right looking at feijoada for the first time i really have no idea what to expect
it's not every day you see food this color so obviously there's black beans involved and
the other thing we know about fishwater is if you have feijoada for lunch you should not eat
breakfast and you probably won't eat dinner so we know it's really heavy but that's about all
we know which is really nice that we have felipe bianca and davey here with us today
so some locals guiding our experience because there's a lot going on here and we need some help
to be honest so they've brought us to this local place where it seems like every single person is
eating fish water literally every table around us has this very interesting sort of black and purple
bowl it's not a coincidence because feijoada day is wednesday here in sao paulo so this menu has
something they serve monday something they serve tuesday and fish water wednesday which is sort
of unique i can't i can't recall another country where every day of the week is a different meal
so sort of interesting now the idea is we're gonna put rice we're gonna put cassava powder
we've got some other pork options and then we're gonna put this feijoada on top of everything
and make a big sort of pile first time ever uh this is why we brought the locals because there's
a lot going on here and i don't wanna do it wrong so really really thank you to them pork chops
book chop and then like pork skin pork skin some veggie and some rice
green cabbage and this is cassava powder cassava powder and then in the fishwater is obviously
black beans and pork parts so it could be pork tail it could be pork
ear it could be lots of different things so you'll have some pork here and pork
belly and every part of the pork in there yeah so felipe filipe it's okay and then feijoada on top
yeah see this is why we're grateful to have a local because i would be eating it from
there and everyone would be mad at me in the comments so i'm just going to go like this
and do this is this right yes the collar is really special because it's purple man there's a lot of
meat inside oh there's a lot of meat towards the bottom yeah you might have to dig a little
and be creative here um maybe a piece of sausage there this this looks very exciting
uh to be honest i'm a little bit nervous i'm a little bit nervous and i will say this i will say
this it's sick it's safe yes okay uh and it pairs well with cash so so first things first saudi
and i will say this uh obviously never tried feijoada before but the word feijoada is very
fun to say it's true right it's very satisfying to say fishwater it's like i want to say it as
much as possible freshwater fish water fish water it's very fun to say means bean means beans and
this dish is called so i guess we'll mix it like this a little bit and then go for it quite nervous
how is this oh you forgot to put the spicy need hot sauce okay did it wrong
i will say the flavor is really nice you really taste the beans and i love
the texture of uh all the different stuff going on
it's sort of got some some cassava powder and then some crunch and some veggie sort of quite nice
it's really good actually look at that oh the spicy sauce is really nice i will
say this is making me nervous this is some sort of pork organ something yeah
a part of the corn you should find the pork here
i'll tell you what it's very good it's really good
what could this be we don't know something
it's like a jerk no no i don't know
different textures and flavors different textures
yeah you sort of don't know even when you see it on your spoon you don't know what it's going to be
the sausage in the rib you know but uh that particular piece of pork was
mostly fat and very soft the one before was sort of chewy it's sort of a bunch of different things
happening all at once here and it has sausage i think this is the belly this might be the belly
here it's quite soft you can cut it with a spoon um the color is nice it's sort of interesting
it's interesting i tell you what we'll finish everything it's good food
i'm not sure i'm not sure i love it i'm not sure i don't love it um this is crunchy
also you'll notice you'll notice that felipe is wearing a corinthians jersey yeah
yeah we've decided we can still be friends even though i'm i'm palmaris
but uh very interesting food the color alone is so interesting yeah go for it all oh cranky
this food is not so much about the flavor it's about the eating experience the flavor is good the
flavor is good but the eating experience is even better okay that's what's memorable anyway you
drive on each eye get my plate still empty sorry i thought you were gonna let me eat first that
was actually my plan and then one thing led to another and i was dirty eating darn it sorry babe
so yvonne is going for a very organized approach whereas i'm going for this wow uh interpretive art
jackson pollock type approach yvonne is being very organized this is the rebs yeah go ahead don't be
shy take the whole rip i'm i'm curious to uh look at my plate to see what you're gonna say about it
mix everything with beans and veggies and uh the cassava flour is called
actually the cassava powder is really important it really adds a nice texture to it sort of
changes the entire mouth experience this uh this yellow yellow powder it's very tasty
it's good right yeah and i like how the like liquid it's thick from the bean right yeah so
it's very flavor the flavor is there now i'm gonna add a little bit of yeah the spiciness
you'll like i guess the main flavor in terms of what you taste is the beans right ivana
that's the dominant flavor but the texture is what's really memorable i love the texture
oh my god look at this i'm not sure what part of the oh this looks like tunnel actually beef tongue
uh beef tongue beef tongue no pork yeah it's like a jerk with beef or beef as well yeah
okay where's the sausage i don't know i think this is tom okay so beef and pork though but beef and
pork both yeah no just pork just just pork okay okay so maybe pork chunks this looks like cup
tongue which is really good quality meat she knows even better than me she's uh she's a
bit of a food expert she likes food so my plate maybe i'm doing it wrong
everyone else is very organized yours is clean yours is very clean mine is like this oh my
gosh put more fish out of there fish water on top make it look nice what do you call this in
pork brazil deep fried deep fried very good it's quite nice kind of
it's kind of crunchy and a lot of fat in there so a lot of flavor nice right
very good there you have it guys so ivana overall uh rate your first feijoada
experience yo guys this might be my favorite brazilian food really so far so far good for you
very good very flavorful look at this yeah the color alone it really packs a punch that kind of
deep and they could get in this kind of like clay i don't know and put it in the oven or something
it looks good i mean it's a messy sort of
awesome experience i like how do we cook in the clay pot right or not super nice
all right let's eat up and then we'll uh give our final review and
most importantly big obregado to felipe anytime
sausage man they got sausage it got meat it got tongue it got
uh philippe said there is ear in it too but i haven't found it but we'll try to just keep
digging just keep digging the pepper hot sauce is good but this is the real deal
pimento sauce this is going to be too much for me but maybe just right for you oh i love it
i love spicy food so this is just right by the way this is like the perfect combo the feijoada
beans and meat the pork chop which is like really good it's crispy outside and so tender and inside
the farofa adds some kind of texture to the food the whole like yeah it's really important and this
thing this is really special you don't get this every day every day every like anywhere only yeah
yeah i've only seen this in brazil and maybe like colombia or something right right it's very good
you're loving it i will say the flavor is very good i'm just i'm nervously chewing because
every once in a while you get something crunchy or like a bone so it's a new experience for me
to chew gently and sort of think before you chew because you don't even know what's in your mouth
it's very interesting so far so good man really great fumble all together yep there you have
it all right let's eat rice and beans six stars really good one ivana all right final review of
our first ever feijoada experience listen the flavor is very good
you can't say anything bad about the flavor it tastes good the thing is i was born and raised
very sheltered in my culinary experience so for the first 27 years of my life uh
no organs no skin it was really a boneless skinless experience
chicken meat steak and pork in canada in canada so i'm having trouble because you put a scoop of food
in your mouth and you don't know if there's a bone in it you don't even know what it is necessarily
the flavor is good but in my head it's hard to really love the type of the meat because of the
type of the meat and you have to sort of feel around with your tongue to see if there's a bone
in there i'm not used to this i understand this is gonna lose all the subscribers and all the viewers
and it would be much better if i just lied to you and said i loved it but we have to be
honest and have some integrity and feijoada is better in my taste buds than it is in my head
the taste is good but in my head it makes me nervous i will say the more caprinia i drink
the better it is because my nervousness goes down right so i'm more comfortable
but um we're learning that there's tons of skill in the recipe in order to serve
fishwater today you would start yesterday so it takes about like one day to cook it it's really
good recipe i understand the skill there i understand people love it but for me i'm
just nervous and i'm eating very slowly and it's just and because of the different types of meat
and organs in regular that's why it takes long to cook it to make sure it's a long time yeah if you
look at some of the meat it's like still red it's like really interesting really flavorful
sort of purple almost looking yeah it's good food guys it's good food but me it's so tender
i was spoiled rotten as a young boy and i was eating plain for me i have no trouble eating
anything ivana loves it if one is giving this food six stars and for me not six stuff
but i i just want to extend my sincere apologies because it's it's good it's just not for me okay
that's fair really something's wrong with steve i don't know what something's wrong with you man
okay i'm gonna finish this whole feijoada bowl because steve is not a fan of it
listen listen for the first 28 years of my life i never even ate something from the ocean oh yeah
you're right right i'm still learning the ways of all the delicious things there are outside of
boneless skinless chicken breast look at this how can come on this is six stars it's six stars
it's better than five stars steve oh my god i can eat this every day and actually in normal
brazilian household they eat they eat rice almost every day rice and beans although not beijia wada
norfolk a lighter type of bean dish they eat it every day come on this is the best
you love it i'm sorry guys i'm sorry it's a bit of a drag race over here it's a drag race over here
i'm sorry i know i know i let the brazilian people down but i have to be honest
the flavor is actually good but in my head i'm just i'm just lame
come on it takes a day to cook it lots of skills that's why the meat is so tender you know
you don't come into like a chewy part of meat it's all tender true fact the meat
is very tender even like the organs the tongue so ivana what we'll do you and i will order feijoada
you can take maybe the more let's say exotic pieces of meat yeah and i can take the and i think
you can ask maybe you can ask some restaurant just to oh just normal part of the meat yeah
yeah yeah not normal but the the easy ones for foreigners to tourist friendly freshwater
this is actually so good yo this is actually so good yeah this is this is really good stuff
this is deep fried pork belly it's super nice on the inside and normally it's really nice you
can cut it into small pieces and just eat it as a snack with your beer so instead of peanut and beer
yeah this thing pork fat it's kind of naturally flavorful you could probably make it salty it's
really nice i'm trying to redeem myself eh i'm trying to redeem myself could be salty and airy
looks really good i really love the pork belly deep fried pork belly man i can eat this every day
but too bad it's only half of on wednesday and surgery a day come on a day all right guys thanks
for watching our video my sincere apologies but the flavor is good to be honest the flavor is
good and the texture is even better than the flavor but overall it's a six stars from ivana
maybe too much video add up
that's what happens when you eat too much water
no just kidding jv only has milk and rice
that's what i feel like though it's very heavy very filling
