Southern Brazilian and Gaúcho Foodways

Regional

The Pampa and the Araucária forest: CHURRASCO on skewers over embers, the galpão and the rodízio; CHIMARRÃO, mate drunk hot from a cuia with a bomba and shared round a circle, which in Rio Grande do Sul is closer to universal than in Argentina; arroz carreteiro from the ox-cart drivers; charque; pinhão, the Araucária pine nut, roasted in winter; and the German, Italian, Polish and Ukrainian colonies with their sausage, wine, polenta, pierogi and cuca. ⚠ GAÚCHO CULTURE CROSSES THREE COUNTRIES — Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina — and is not the property of any one.
