Grilled meats on spits
Barbecue pit built into
wall, southern Brazil
Brazilians were the first to raise cattle Wu South America, imported
from Cape Verde to São Paulo the 1530s. Churrasco (pronounced
shoo-RAS-koo) or Brazilian barbecue was the traditional staple food of the
gatichos or cowboys of Southern Brazil centuries before it
spread to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. It has become very fashionable and
there are excellent churrascarias (restaurants specializing Brazilian
barbecue) all over Brazil and | the world. These are called
churrascaria de rodízio because waiters move table to table
bringing different types of meats on skewers which they slice
portions onto your plate.
The meat was originally cooked coals, usually ina pit dug in the
ground, skewered in metal spits. The only seasoning was coarse salt and
each gaúcho had his own churrasco knife which he used to cut pieces
meat from the spit. People in southern Brazil have churrasco pits built
__ their backyards with bricks or incorporated into a wall
decorative tile around the edges. (In the US, we use a gas grill!)
