Samba, caipirinha and feijoada is
one of the most popular and
delicious carioca’s combination.
For those unfamiliar with it,
feijoada is a black bean stew made
with various types of pork and
beef, usually accompanied by rice,
farofa, steamed cabbage and
sliced orange.

As well defined by writer
Fernando Sabino, from Minas
Gerais: "Carioca, as known, is
a state of mind: of someone
who, born in any part of Brazil
(or abroad) lives in Rio de
Janeiro and fills with life the
city’s streets.” The Carioca is
relaxed, spontaneous, natural.
