I did a road trip from the extreme south to São Paulo (1500km+) last month and found jambu-infused cachaça in the four different states I've been to. Def a recent thing though. I even saw jambu risotto and pastel (stuffed fried crust pie).
- soneca 4y agoSo a recent thing indeed. Living in São Paulo I never heard of jambu (I also do not drink alcohol, and apparently it is more interesting to consume with alcohol, so it might explain).

- eliseumds 4y agoI've had jambu in São Paulo many times, although I admit that I visit the city multiple times a year just to eat. It's easy to find tacacá, pirarucu, chicken/duck with tucupi and so on.
- soneca 4y agoI would imagine so. There is a lot of good things in SP, probably never heard of a lot of them.
- pvorb 4y agoFirst time I've heard of pastel outside of my mother's family. I thought it's a very local thing. My mother is from Santa Catarina, but I grew up in south west Germany.
- jalbertoni 4y agoIt's a very local thing in the sense that outside Brazil it isn't well known. But nearly everyone in the country will have eaten one, it's quite popular. Hell, I like them so much, my wife gets me birthday pastels instead of birthday cake.
- eliseumds 4y agoWhat a keeper!
- nwatson 4y agoPasteis are universally consumed in Brazil. One of the foods I've missed the most in my almost 40 years outside.
