sausages are a regular and beloved component of many brazilian barbecues because of their rich succulence and textured taste - there are a number of seasoned varieties available, with pork being the most popular sausage meat.

barbecues are always accompanied with the typical brazilian delicacy of farofa, which is manioc flour, generally coated in fat or butter - chefs often like to play around with ingredients included in the farofa dish, adding corn, roasted bacon, fried sausage, eggs, parsley, onion, bananas, cabbage, salami, garlic and a wealth of other inventive garnishes.

rice is another must at any true carioca barbecue, and is it is subtle but tasty accompaniment to the various meats, which balances out the richness of meat flavours beautifully - an essential requirement to level out the rich flavors and denseness of the meat is the 'molho a campanha' sauce.
