Satisfying lunches – Lunch is not a dainty affair in Brazil. It's advisable to go easy on breakfast, as the midday meal may put most visitors close to capacity. 令人滿足的午餐——巴西的午餐不是量少精細型。建議早餐少吃點，因為大多數人會在中午這餐吃到撐。

Bountiful lunches 豐盛午餐

Brazilian portions can be gigantic, often larger than even the standard American plateful. It's not a miscommunication when your waiter brings you enough food for twice your number.
巴西的菜肴是巨量的，甚至常常比標準的美式一整盤的份量還多。服務生給你端來雙倍量的食物并不是由于理解錯誤。

A light breakfast is advised, since you'll consume a lot more than you thought for lunch.
鑒于午餐時你會比預想的吃更多，建議早餐少吃點。

Brazilians don't bury their cuisine in fiery sauces that kill flavor. In fact, aside from Bahians, they steer clear of hot sauces in favor of flavorful seasonings.
巴西人不給菜肴澆滿辣醬，那會蓋住美味。實際上，除了東北部的巴伊亞州人，巴西人會避免使用辣醬而更愛口味豐富的調味料。

They specialize in supertender thin strips of beef and other carnivorous delights, served with rice, beans and fried bananas, washed down with a beer or guaraná soda.
