Gaúchos Tradition
The Churrasco, Brazilian barbeque, is a traditional feast that has been celebrated in Brazil for centuries. The feast originates from the southern region of Brazil called ’Rio Grande do Sul‘ where most meat productions come from.
The Gaúchos, Brazilian cowboys, roasted the meat on skewers. The meat was marinated with simple seasoning and served with salads, Brazilian rice and beans. The best-roasted meat was shared with each family.
