Salty taste

To complement having a sweet tooth, you will find that food served in Brazilian eateries, below the gourmet level, tends to be oversalted. Well, you know how it is, salt is the cheapest "spice". I'm still pizza-shy in Brazil after an experience on my previous trip. I was in Ubatuba, SP and had ordered a pizza. Instead of mozzarella cheese, they had used ordinary cheese. It was so salty that I had to separate the cheese from the rest of the toppings to get something to eat. When I tossed some of the leftover cheese to seagulls they wouldn't touch it.


So you might want to be wary of dishes like spag bol in Brazil.
