A dish that tells its story — Brigadeiro reviewed

You can taste history in Brigadeiro if you know what to look for. Brazilian cuisine reflects indigenous, Portuguese, and African culinary heritages in equal measure. The smoky and umami-deep character reflects those layers — manioc flour farinha doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a Bahian seafood restaurant setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Brahma lager alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Brigadeiro, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
