This is a comment from Brazil! It was very nice to read Lindsay’s views on my country as well as all the friendly comments! And although most of what Lindsay wrote is right, I’d like to add a little of an “insider” view.
1. Yes, it is summer here at Christmas, but if you ask any brazilian (or most of them) which are the typical fruit at Christmas the answer will certainly be grapes, prums and nuts. I know these are not tropical fruits, but I think that is why they were considered special. When I was a child we would have grapes and prums only at Christmas time (or Christmas Eve as they were very expensive). Now these fruits are grown here and you can find them all year round but they are still Christmas fruits. Not bananas, or guavas.
2. Doce de leite (not dulce!) is very delicious. But brigadeiro is really the most famous brazilian sweet. Lindsay’s recipe is perfect (and you know it’s thick enough when you can see the bottom of the pan). But I never saw anyone rolling them in sugar and really don’t think they will taste good this way as they will be too sweet. Chocolate sprinkles are the right thing.
3. And finally, dispite having green oranges, we do have orange oranges as well! I just ate one today after lunch!

Best wishes to you all! Silvia

I visited Brazil many, many years ago but I do still remember how good the food was.

It was strange having Christmas in the summer when I lived in Bolivia.
