About the traditional local food and the major festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil?

Question

can you tell me about the traditional local food and the major festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? I need some suggestions for my report about Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks

Answer 1

I couldnt find any specific food references except for Bosnian carnival. However, since Carnival occurs right before lent, and lent is supposed to be the denial of earthly pleasure. Im guessing that people eat more desserts, and things they normally wouldnt. Here is a link to some Brazillian foods.

Answer 2

Festival time is the time to shed your clothes and eat when you have the time. Eating is incidental to the festival.
