\nTwo posts covering the same busy day pigging out in Newark, New Jersey\u2019s Portuguese\/Brazilian Ironbound district. Today\u2019s segment consists of scenes (food scenes, of course) from the Brazilian Day Festival that took place on September 7th and 8th near the area around Ferry and Niagara Streets, just a stone\u2019s throw (a football\u2019s kick?) from the flagship location of the legendary Seabra\u2019s market (which deserves a post of its own).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMost of these eight images are easily identifiable but the seventh (above) is worth singling out because of the dulce de leche gracing the tops of a few of the pasteis de nata, Portuguese egg custard tarts that were calling my name. Unfortunately, I was schlepping countless pounds of Portuguese cheeses, lingui\u00e7a, chouri\u00e7o, and morcela that I picked up at Seabra\u2019s (see, I told you it merits its own post) so I wasn\u2019t able to go back for them. The very definition of regret.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe subject of the final photo might be unfamiliar to some of you. They\u2019re coxinhas (pronounced ko-SHEEN-ya), deep fried chicken and cream cheese croquettes, a popular street food in Brazil (and happily in Brazilian neighborhoods around these parts), shaped a bit like a chicken drumstick; the literal meaning of coxinha is \u201clittle thigh\u201d. If you see these delicious snacks anywhere that offers Brazilian food, get one. (Actually, better get a few.)<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for part two!
