Brazilian party food
Description
The picture shows a table with a variety of Brazilian food ready for a typical June party. Brazilian June Parties, known as "Festas Juninas" in Portuguese, are traditional mid-year celebrations that take place throughout Brazil, primarily in the month of June.
The food served at these festivals is also a highlight, with a focus on regional and seasonal ingredients. Popular dishes include pamonha (a sweet or savory corn paste wrapped in corn husks), canjica or mungunzá (a dessert made from white corn, sugar, and coconut milk), quentão (a warm, spiced alcoholic drink made with cachaça and ginger), and cuscuz (steamed cornmeal).
