Craving for Brazilian food...and possible solutions

Hello, everyone!

I am a Brazilian student living for the first time abroad and it never occurred I would miss my home country food so much! After 3 months living in Norwich there are 3 main dishes that made my stomach cries:

- Farofa: a typical Brazilian dish made with manioc flour mixed with chopped onion, garlic, eggs and bacon. Very exotic and delicious!




-Pao de queijo (brazilian cheese balls): small cheese bralls made of white manioc powder. the texture is very different from anything you've seen and it tastes like heaven




- Feijoada (black beans stew) - the most famous Brazilian dish, a black beans stew with different kinds of pork meat that you eat with white rice, farofa, and sliced kale.


In order to solve my "problem" here are a few possible solutions for that:

- Go to the Lusa Café, a Portuguese café, and shop, based in Norwich city center. There you can find many Portuguese items and a few Brazilian ones such as tapioca and Polvinho Doce - the main ingredient alongside cheese to prepare Pao de Queijo.

- Try Brazilian online shops such as Produtos Brasileiros, where you can find feijoada kits with all ingredients, side dishes such as farofa, white rice, orange and also guarana Antartica.
