"Restaurants traditionally serve feijoada, Brazil's savory national dish, on Saturday, but here the huge pots of the stew simmer every day."

"There may be restaurants with better feijoada in town -- there are certainly better-decorated ones -- but what they can't offer you is feijoada any old day of the week."

To spice it up, ask for pimenta, and they will bring you oil-soaked malagueta peppers to drizzle on the beans.
