Pastel and Caldo de Cana!
You have a lot of little food trucks here where you can eat snacks.
Today we went to a truck where they sell Pastel (fried filled pastry) but also Caldo de Cana (Sugarcane juice).
This juice I never have been able to find fresh in the Netherlands (we have it in cans and it's awful).
They use heavy machinery to squeeze the juice out of the cane.
The result
We also had a Pastel each. I had one filled with Cheese and Bianca with Cheese and Calabrese (sausage).
Just out of the frier they are fantastically crispy and delicious.
I have been asked a couple of time of the costs of food here and since getting here the prices of the stores and shops have dropped considerably compared to Sao Paulo.
This juice (2x300 ml) and 2 pastels costs us 16 Brazilian Real or $3,80 USD.

Very nice!
Do you think you could live in Brazil for a couple of years or longer?
I could live here. Probably would choose a little bigger city and would like to speak better Portugese!
It's an amazing thing, my friend and I've never tried sugar cane juice, so we do not have it on sale and I'm sure it's delicious. You are right, these cafes are very comfortable, since you can just eat in the fresh air and relax. Enjoy and relax. Well done! Thanks Mark
You had me at snacks!
@exyle
Thats a classic here in brazil! Its funny to see our culture from other perspective, I'm loving those posts, by the way have you tried chimarrão yet?
Glad you like the post! I haven't tried chimarrao yet. I asked Bianca and she said its not common here.
Dear friend, here in Venezuela, that's a typical breakfast, and we call it cupcakes, and cane juice, and I can certify that they are very tasty.
Sugar cane juice is a delicacy and if you put lemon juice on it, it becomes a divinity, @exyle. In my country, Venezuela, they do it with that acid touch. Normally in our countries there are many fast food stalls where you can find plenty of food for little money. You only have to eat in clean places so you don't get sick! Greetings and take care of yourselves.
oooo I forgot to mention we had it with lemon juice! So far very stall I been has been very clean.
I like the way they use machine to squeeze the juice out of the cane. This way you know you drink fresh juice full of vitamins. And the prices are pretty good considering it was for two people.
Yeah, decent prices indeed!
Mark @exyle those look so Tasty and the food and drink are all Organic is that right ??
The drink yeah! The food (most likely) :)
That sugar cane juice must be fantastic given that it is freshly squeezed with no chemicals or preservatives. That's lots of good energy and bio available vitamins. Keep having fun on your trip :)
It was delicious!
man you are killing me with these food posts!! haha Those look so good I love a good pastry! and that juice looks amazing.
Haha! The food here is great!
I bet! So jealous! lol
