on sunday's, at the feira hippie de ipanema (ipanema hippy market) in praça general osorio, one can find stands, typically on the corner's of the plaza, with women dressed in the traditional bahian attire, and selling this delicious creation - there are other northeastern delicacies available.

another traditional bahian dish is vatapá, formed of fish in a cassava porridge, with palm oil and chilli - in the northeast of brazil, gastronomy inherits much of the african traditions - african restaurants are suggested here.

prawn dishes are also a great favourite of the carioca people, an a dish that stands out is bobó de camarão, a creamy dish that originates from africa, with traditional ingredients from the continent, such as chilli, palm oil, cassava and coriander - cariocas tend to use coconut milk and replace palm oil with olive oil, seeing as their pallets are not accustomed to the taste. 

cousin of the bobó is another delicious and aesthetically unique prawn dish, camarão na moranga.
