SALVADOR : CHEESE-ON-A-STICK
This is a block of cheese (1 inch by 1 inch by 4 inches) on a stick peddled in snack stalls or by a guy carrying a make-shift portable tiny barbecue-pit. As you order it, he barbecues the cheese for a moment. The cheese does not melt, instead, it turns slightly brown and toasted on the outside and all gooey and creamy on the inside. Heaven when you sink your teeth in it!!! Sometimes, the peddlar has a bottle of syrup to douse on the cheese. Get it!! It is the greatest snack here in Brazil.I found it mainly in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.
