Brazil - Authentic Brazilian Meal

Question
Hi,

I'm planning a dinner for friends who've requested a traditional Brazilian menu.  They are high-end, fancy, schmancy people, so I want to give them the best of the best.  Can you recommend some dishes/drinks/desserts that might fit the bill.  Another friend (who is a chef) will be cooking so we're not afraid to take on something hard to cook.  Just want to make sure it's delicious and authentic.

THANKS!!

Answer
Hello Melissa,

Brazil has a lot of great food. The most famous one is “feijoada”: black beans and pork stew. Other wonderful ones are: gaucho barbecue, shrimp stroganoff and fish stew with coconut ("moqueca").

Good luck and have fun!
