regional cuisines

Paulista Cuisine

From the city of Sao Paulo situated some 200 miles south of Rio.  It is the most subtle and delicate of the three major Brazilian cuisine styles. Besides owing some of its character to the Portuguese, West Africans and Aborigines, it has been influenced by the Italians, Germans, and other Europeans who settled in Brazil in great numbers. An interesting local specialty is:

Cuscuz Paulista
Cornmeal steamed and molded with meats and vegetables, somewhat like the famous cracked wheat Couscous of North Africa.
