Rice and Beans. Italians love their pasta, Americans their burgers, and Asians love their rice - but far more than just rice, here in Brazil they are mad about their rice and beans. Didn't think much of them when I first arrived, but am getting the hang of it now. It's a fix similar to that of chocolate or coke. Go without it for a few days and you start to dream of it. Viscous black beans - garlicky and salty, and fluffy white (not fragrant mind you) rice. But I just can't seem to kick the soy sauce habit. Must be a hangover from Asia.
