Brazil: food

Today's card is from Flavio from Ribeirao Preto, Brazil


Just looking at it makes me hungry :)  The text on the card reads:
A melhor carne. o melhor trigo, os melhores recheios. Esfihas ou kibes, de todos os tipos e sabores. Venha saborear nossas delicias arabes feitas com carinho para voce e sua familha!
 According to Google translate (and a little bit of my own common sense) it translates to:
The best meat. the best wheat, the best toppings. Sfiha or kibes of all types and flavors. Come taste our delicacies Arabs made ​​with love for you and your family!
 "sfiha" and "kibe" are Arab dishes that have made it to the Latin American countries during the early 20th century.

Sfiha is a pizza-like dish. Traditional sfiha are open-faced meat pies made with ground mutton. In Brazil, they are often folded into triangular pastries.

Kibe is made of burgul (crushed grains), minced onions and ground red meat, usually beef, lamb or goat. Most often they're in the shape of a torpedo and fried, but they can come in ball shapes or patties as well. It's one of those dishes that come in several variations.

I guess I might need to try some new dishes, from the pictures it sure looks good! Pin It
