brazilian cuisine

Brazilian cuisine varies greatly by region, reflecting the country's mix of native and immigrant populations, and its size as well. Root vegetables such as manioc (locally known as mandioca, aipim or macaxeira, among other names), yams, and fruit like açaí, cupuaçu, mango, papaya, guava, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, and hog plum are among the local ingredients used in cooking.
A typical dish is feijoada, considered the country's national dish and the national beverage is coffee, while cachaça is Brazil's native liqueur.
