Pau-er hungry
Saturday afternoon and the sun is shining. I took a stroll up Southampton St on a quest to discover something new. And lo and behold, there it was: Pau Brasil. Eyes bulging, I eagerly ventured inside.
Pau Brasil is a very small outlet and, as the name suggests, stocks Brazilian products. There were shelves of pasta and different types of sauce, and a bar containing various snacks. I wasn’t feeling all that hungry, but I had to try something anyway.
I went for a pastry snack containing choriço, a spicy Portuguese sausage. I thanked the Brazilian girl serving me, slipped her my phone number (no, only kidding) and picked up a free collector’s edition of Jungle Drums, a magazine about Brazilian culture and written in English and Portuguese. Then I sambaed merrily down the street.
did you get a brazillian then, matt???
