I'm a native, and I have both. I do like something called "tutu," though, which is basically beans mixed with manioc flour, pepperoni sausage, eggs and a other good stuff. It can be eaten with rice or alone. By the way sven, have you tried to make your own orange soda? All you need is some orange juice, bicarbonate, and voilá! It should taste nice. The bicarbonate you speak of is usually calcium bicarbonate isn't it? Drink enough and you will end up with some problms hahahah

I live in the South of Brazil. When I go home to New York about every 4 months, my Brazilian friends ask me to buy: Milky Way candy, Baby Ruth candy, peanut butter, marshmallows, Goya Adobo and Goya Sazón (not to be confused with the sazon here), pancake mix, maple syrup, bagels, Heinz Ketchup. Although you didn’t ask, I’ll volunteer a few ítems that I take from here to the U.S.: Coffee, Brazilian chocolates and Every Day deoderant from Natura.

Fried chicken needs a recipe? My mom's side of the family were Okies, I grew up on fried chicken and biscuits and gravy. Fortunately my dear mother showed me how to make all that before she passed away 13 years ago.

It is certainly comfort food for a lot of Americans like me.

"Every Day deodorant from Natura?!" Odd... it's a Brazilian company! I do know companies adapt or create new products on certain markets, but still...
