Meat and sweet: an espetinho de porco and a pamonha (es-peh-Cheen-yo, pah-Moan-yah), a grilled pork skewer and a boiled corn cake. Also shown, from the same palette: a heap of pamonhas still wrapped in corn husks, and a cutaway view of mine; feijão tropeiro, "cowboy beans" dressed with collard greens, toasted manioc flour, and bits of fried egg; vatapá, a creamy paste typically prepared from shrimp, coconut milk, peanuts, and palm oil, essential to an acarajé; carne loka, sandwich-ready braised beef; and pastéis de nata, egg tarts.
