Churrasco
In Brazil, churrasco is a Portuguese and Spanish term for a type of barbecue which originated in southern Brazil. It features different kinds of meat, pork, sausage and chicken which may be cooked over an open fire. The Brazilians have been barbecuing meat for a long time. Churrasco varies not only because of the variety of meat but also because of the sauces. One common way to serve churrasco in Brazil is at a buffet, with waiters carrying trays of meat around the room and patrons choosing which cuts they want.
