In my two weeks in Brazil, I have to say that the food I've tried is generally over-salted, oily, and without nuance (if savory), or too sweet (if a dessert)...the big exception being the natural fruit juices which I love. Not to say that eating here isn't fun, courtesy of the snack foods that are in abundance...

I really don't think I've seen a country that loves its ice cream this much! Every where I turn, someone's eating an ice cream cone, soft serve, or milk shake...
