Ocean Views, Favela and Picanha Don't put anything here Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text A few days before new year, we went to a picnic in Vidigal. Vidigal is normally considered to be a favela, and most of it is, but it also has a few buildings that quite literally "rise above" the favela, giving one an opportunity to move from a spectacular view of Leblon and Ipanema to a view of a favela with just an easy turn of the head. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_017_7516 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_035_1876 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_024_5176 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_027_5718 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_033_2505 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_038_2837 2005-12-30-b-vidigal/20051230_046_3616 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> While we were there, we observed some picanha preparation, "real argentinian style," supposedly. Picanha is a cut of beaf particularly popular in Brazil. I had picanha in Rio's "churrascarias" and have also bought it in groceries store, and while I've noticed that somehow restaurant picanha looks different, I could never quite put a finger on it. This time I got to see how flat picanha is folded before being put on a skewer, giving it the half-moon look that you usually get in a restaurant. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005-12-30-a-picanha/20051230_002_5084 2005-12-30-a-picanha/20051230_004_7642 2005-12-30-a-picanha/20051230_005_5848 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Don't put anything here Advanced Fields Category 2002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014E.
