[Brazil Business Trip Report]Extra: Lunch in Brazil

The third part of Rio de Janeiro is an extra edition.
Lunch Situation in BrazilIt is.

In the streets of Brazil,Self-service buffet-style restaurantare really everywhere, regardless of the size of the city.

Aside from delicious-looking meats from beef, pork, and chicken, some restaurants offer fish and local dishes, and at least 20 different kinds of rice, beans, pasta, many kinds of salads, fruits, and so on. In many restaurants, there are as many as 4 or 50 different kinds of dishes on the shelves.

So far, though, it is similar to the large company cafeterias and orixx bentos in Japan,
above allThe revolutionary system is that the price is determined by weighing each plate, regardless of the type of food.It is.
In other words, whether you take only meat, rice, a large serving of mango, tsuyu dak or green peas, they are all the same price as long as they weigh the same.

And another breakthrough is what you take on that plate,Available in aluminum containers for take-outIt is.
The special machine in the photo above (every restaurant has one), and when you turn the handle in a circular motion...,

Oh my, what a surprise. An airtight container with a lid is ready!
Now, curry and tsuyudaku are safe. Of course, side dishes can mix with each other as much as they like.
(But Brazilians mix and match everything on their plates, so this is okay.)

With this bento and a beer, you can have the perfect lunch anywhere!
By the way, this volume costs 70 reais. It is about 350 Japanese yen.
The price is about R$15-25 per 100 g, depending on the store.
Prices in Brazil are about half of what you would pay in Japan, but if you can eat so many different kinds of food in Japan for only 700 yen, it's a very good deal. If you could do it in the Marunouchi business district, it might be a big hit!

Advantages of the "same price by weight" system for all dishesis not only easy to understand, but it is also very easy to understand, because you don't have to calculate the weight and price of each dish.Smooth cash registerThe line is very short even if there are many people in line. Even if there are many people in line, they are quickly dispersed. (→This is also suitable for Japanese people who have a short lunch break.)
Also, the more you take, the higher the price, of course,Effective for weight lossThere is no limit to the number of different kinds of food you can take. And since there is no limit to the types of food you can take, you can have as many as 20 different types of food in each bite. The balance of side dishes and rice is of course flexible, making it a friendly system for both office workers and fathers who are concerned about their stomachs!
Finally, a real extravaganza found in Rio.

A warning sign at the tram stop that also appears in the movie "The Black Orphee.
The shape of the sign and the markings inside are very cute, but I'm not entirely sure what is prohibited.

 

Sazae-san-like ride ban!
