hello everyone and welcome to the
channel I am Trevor and this is Anna we
are the delightful travelers if you
happen to be new around here make sure
to hit that subscribe button and the
little Bell to follow along on our
adventures today we are still in Brazil
we actually have a few more videos left
to come to you from South Paulo but
today the focus is going to be on
resilience so our focus today we think
is gonna be on smaller dishes maybe some
aperitif some finger food but what's
really exciting is that we're going to
be meeting up with our friend Jackie she
is a native of South Paulo so hopefully
she'll have some good ideas an insight
about a food here from Brazil also if
you're wondering why we're not gonna be
eating fresh water today which is
Brazil's national dish we did that a few
episodes ago so you should definitely go
back and check that out so we are in
Vila Madalena today and we think we're
going to be staying around this area and
trying all this delicious food if you
make it to the end and you happen to be
wondering why we've not tried a
mortadella sandwich as well we've done
that we went to the main market here
we tried that to make sure to go back
and watch that as well so we've just
come to a place called fruity Google
refers to it as a juice shop but they
have like a lot of smoothies and
smoothie bowls and that kind of healthy
thing
but our premise of coming here is to try
xiè which is
fruit so you can find it alike
everywhere basically but when we were in
Bali you could basically you know they
have smoothie shops everywhere and they
always had us ie
but here in Brazil is basically where it
comes from it comes off of home-tree I
believe and you can find it everywhere
like a little like every little shop
like there's lots of street vendors with
it so it's like it's a very common food
here in Brazil so we have to try it look
at the color of this so we have two
things today we have a smoothie and a
smoothie bowl and I get some granola
nola and it has banana on the top as
well um but because Trevor just
mentioned the color when I ran about
this fruit is it was a lot like a grape
it grows on a palm tree though or some
like truck palm tree here in Brazil and
it has I think a fairly big feed but
then the outer part of it is full of
nutrients and it must be a really dark
color I don't know if I've ever seen one
before yeah let's get into it look at
this like it's so thick and goopy it's a
very interesting texture like strawberry
moves around in it but let's so let's
give it a go here
well they're so thick it almost doesn't
come up the straw that is tasty I don't
compare this to any other kind of fruit
I have it's not too sweet you know most
fruits are very sweet obviously this is
not too sweet it's almost it reminds me
of a grape innovator it's the closest
thing I can compare it to but it's a
really thick grate it is really cold
that like the texture of it and just
given how cold it's really good so far
digging this and now I'm very curious
like what the bowls gonna be like versus
this smoothie so this is a little more
interesting looking the base is the same
clearly but there's some banana in there
looks like the really fresh bananas and
then some granola that Anna put on so
let's try this one okay so I like that
more and obviously it's because there's
different flavors going on it's just not
the base flavor you have the very
crunchy granola which also tastes very
fresh and then those bananas and you
know we're from Canada we don't get
bananas laying like this like you can
get in Brazil here so this is really
good and then you have that cold you use
like goopy word again a texture from the
asahi it's perfect mix all around we're
off to a good start here so far
[Music]
alright guys we just finished up our
essay and while we're eating our friend
Jackie showed up she's gonna help us -
Oh today we're gonna make it is it a bar
got some things in mind you're from here
right so she's gonna help us when we
don't understand Portuguese she knows
the inside please guys
[Music]
all right we got some beer as usual but
take a look at what Jackie got maybe you
can describe what this actually is super
pretty and even I'm jealous from Devon
all right guys our food has arrived
let's go through each dish this one I
think you've called Kushina she's a
senior and it has chicken in it this is
kind of like a french fry but it's made
with you might have to help me here yeah
man yeah man yaki yeah we call in Java
yes okay so it's sort of like a potato
but not these are tapioca cubes that I
made of tapioca and there is a chili
sauce with them and these are called
pastels and as well with cheese and one
with meat okay I'm gonna go first today
this is the Kushina and I'm told you
have to eat the bottom first or the but
I see that looks really good it's like
fried chicken
oh wow you weren't kidding these are
good mmm look at the inside of this see
if I can get in focus it's really creamy
and gooey and there's like bits of
chicken and then the outside is like
hard and kind of crusty what a
combination this is all right new one
guys is the men jakka feel like I'm
saying that's totally wrong but it's
made out of a different type of plant
other than a potato but it does look a
lot like a potato it so maybe a little
thicker inside I think maybe a cassava
plant almost looks like a tater or a big
fryer yeah it's like it's almost like a
home fry that we'd have at home but it
looks them the inside the texture maybe
looks a little bit different than potato
it's really good it is really really
dense like denser than a potato so
probably a little bit more filling than
that and the labor is a little bit
different but not a whole lot we put the
salt on top yeah typical way to eat it
yeah of course we were gonna go for the
ketchup but we'll pass this he might be
good with dipping that these are the
pastels and they are the mini version we
have two different kinds I think this
one might be beef we also have cheese
but so far in our time here in Brazil
we've been seeing the really big ones
when we're at the market we saw a bigger
version it's kind of fun that we have
like the smaller version today try out
they kind of look like an egg roll house
first thing that comes to mind for me
like I'm used to Chinese food I guess
just seeing it so I will see that it
doesn't taste like that
[Music]
[Applause]
oh yeah
[Music]
as dim
first thing I noticed the inside of this
was all this beef with the beef it's
nice spice to it it's a little bit spicy
it's not planned at all first first
thing I asked Jackie was like should I
be dipping this in something but we
shouldn't be but the meat makes up for
that it's a really nice flavor and of
course it's deep-fried on the outside
just golden and perfect really really
good snack and get why yet Brazilians
are into this hey I'm sticking with the
pastels but I'm gonna go with the cheese
version
sounds nice and crunchy so that bite was
mainly pastry I can see the cheese in
there about look at that it looks good
and cheesy
approved that's good the cheese is like
really really salty not emit was a
little bit of cheesy flavor too and it's
not too strong but it's like a really
good cheese with just a little bit of
salty flavor to it so on to our last
dish she's not like tapioca cubes and
tapioca I think is a very common food
that you find here in Brazil I think
they often have it for breakfast - yeah
it's a common breakfast food but here
it's deep fried until he's like
delicious-looking cubes I'm there's some
chilli sauce on the side I am going to
try it in there Jackie does not like
chili sauces she's going to go clean I'm
curious Jackie does a stack up like
pretty well against others that you've
had in the city
it's good you can like kind of taste the
texture yeah it's not too overpowering
yeah fine feel like I think attack can
be a bit being a big fall yeah it'd be a
little intimidating when you see it but
you don't know you kind of notice it
here but not too bad I really like it
with the chilli sauce it up a little bit
of spice I love spice so like that's
perfect with me I'm liking this more
than I thought cuz yeah I don't normally
offer toffee okay just it sounds so
strange but
so everything has been delicious so far
and I think well we all think we can fit
one more thing in Jackie's got an idea
of a place we can go check out so let's
see if we can do so we thought we'd
finish things off with some sweet stuff
we got some sugarcane juice and then a
pastel that maybe they'll take oh that's
it I'm gonna give this a go first it
really doesn't have like a strong smell
at all does it smell like anything
it looks dreams yeah yeah it is it's
like it yeah berry green color but the
taste is really good it's a little bit
slightly fruity but just really like
sweet
that is so refreshing it's very limey
and in fact what's coming in my mind is
like key lime hi it kind of reminds me
of that a little bit but in like a
liquid form is strange that might sound
but check out what's down here we have
like up pastries Dolce de leche smells
so good definitely smells some cinnamon
on there it's just an interesting look
look at this some if you can see the
inside of that it's crispy on the
outside and then it looks like some well
that looks so good can't wait to try it
oh yes that is to die for
oh my god you guys can do desserts too
this has been a great day we never would
have been able to trial this food Oh
Jackie I'll tell you that for sure but
this is delicious crispy on the outside
you got that brown liquid on the inside
I can't say enough about it
perfect perfect food day here all right
guys believe it or not we have a second
one here this one a cup of Romeo and
Julieta but it actually has guava in it
waka paste and a soft white cheese so
it's considered like the best
combination I guess that's why it's
Romeo and Juliet
I got an edge piece so I probably should
get the middle but it's really yummy
it's got the cinnamon on the top as well
oh wow
it's nice because they're kind of warm
as well you know
that's great it's strange but good that
gives a little bit salty sandy cheese
but then like the guava these little
hairy and then cinnamon it's an odd
combo I'm not sure if I loved it or not
what do you like
[Music]
so a big thanks to Jackie for showing us
around today I don't think we would have
had the same experience if she wasn't
there so great thank you and just a
reminder that were just two people in
