Brazilian Food Etiquette Not only do Brazilians eat pizza with a fork and knife and fork, but chicken, fruit, and sandwiches are generally eaten this way. If food is to be eaten with the hands, napkins are wrapped around it. The best rule to follow is to use your hands as little as possible, and follow the lead of Brazilians when unsure how to eat something. |
Fast Food Numerous barzinhos and pastelarias (informal street cafes) can be found in the larger Brazilian cities. Foods include sandwiches, fruits and sweets made from brazil nut. Adults eating in public is considered rude in Brazil. When eating at outdoor cafes or food stands use the tables provided or stand nearby and finish your food before going on your way. |
