Cuisines of Earth, Tuesday

"Welcome back," Hannibal greeted them. "I hope you've been enjoying our culinary tour. Today we will take ourselves to South America. As Fandom is in North America, that is the continent directly south of us.

"Brazil, as the US, is a country of immigrants mixed with the native residents. Brazilian immigrants are predominantly from Portugal, Spain, and Italy in southwest Europe. The cuisine of each area depends on its history and geography as well as which immigrants and local residents are most prominent; we will be experiencing southern Brazilian food."

He waved them through the portal and onto a street in a large city. The restaurant had a concrete front with large windows and was nicely appointed.

"Fogo de Chão is one of the restaurants that grew out of churrasco, the local equivalent of barbeque. They feature a lavish bar of side foods, which includes a number of dishes for those of you who may not be interested in meat. There are also some lovely desserts."

He spoke to the host, who led them to a table. "However, the main attraction is the meat, or rather meats, which they will bring to you at the table." He nodded toward one of the gaucho-dressed staff walking from table to table with a large skewer of meat. "There are a number of different meats with different spices, and I encourage you to try as many as you like. The local language is predominantly Portuguese, but many here will also speak Spanish and some will know English."
