Brazilian food /ingredients in Helsinki

[Hank W.]

If you can figure out what they are in Finnish - fruits? then maybe yes. The only Brazilian thing I''ve seen is coffee and steak (and fruits)

Ok,
palmito you get from ethnic stores
mamao - maybe, doubtful.
guarana - they sell some guarana drinks but it may not be the real mc.coy
chachaca - you get maybe one brand in Alko, better luck in Tallinn (actually you might find all of these there) pinga thats in the Spanish dictionary
farofa... rrr... manioc... rrr... ethnic stores maybe
bread cheese you find typical finnish... i guess you need to ask for a recipe and start experimenting.

Hi Dudu,

please let us know if you find any of those around town, i'd be eager to get some of that staff (goiabada, guarana,...).

I have a wish list of my own, mostly out of curiosity, from my childhood:

Marmelada de banana/
Bananada de goiaba/
Goiabada de marmelo (...)


(EDIT:these are lyrics from a very popular brazilian children's program)

Hi Dudu,

Well I am Brazilian living here for 1 year and a half and I could not find any of this products here.
You can find some on Internet but must have a credicard.
If you want I can send to you.
By the way are you Brazilian?

Gliceria.

Oi Gliceria,
I am Portuguese from Lisbon married to a Brazilian from São Paulo we have just moved here. I would also love to buy some of the mentioned products could you please send me the links of the internets sites you mentioned? Are those sites from Brazil or Europe? I could find lots of those products in Lisbon since there is a big Brazilian community and therefore many shops, restaurants, hairdressers (with the famous Japanese hair straightening technique, etc) …Anyway I don´t know many people around here, it would be nice to meet, I saw there a “coffee mamas group” but unfortunately we don’t have children yet …so I am not sure I could fit on it…but on the other hand would love to meet other girls here. Upppsss I just saw that you are leaving …what a pity ….could we still talk? Hope soon
Obrigada,

I guess this post is old but anyway I wish to participate We can find in Finland a lot of Brazilian products (especially in Helsinki) or at least similar that you can cook Brazilian dish. We can do even Feijoada here! Next RavintolaPäivä I am doing cheese bread, tapioca and other things in Tampere. If someone interested just check out here:
