Speaking of Churrasco...

When I was down there visiting my Fiance recently, we went to her neighboring city of Campo Grande, MS. We passed by a place where her cousin said they export Churrasco all over the world... I don't recall the name of the place.

Anyone know where someone could buy some here in the States? Online etc. I'm sure it won't be as cheap as it was in Mato Grosso do Sul, but I would love to treat my Fiance to some back home Churrasco every now and again, so if anyone knows I would appreciate it greatly! :D

If you find a place like that, let me know, because I just cannot find a place that gives me the "Picanha" cut.

But I know a place where you can find the sausages for Churrasco: KiDelicia

Good luck!!!

The butcher at my locals Sam's club cut Picanha for me. It came out perfect. Here's what they need to know (any butcher should be able to do this for you):

Picanha is the top part of the top sirloin sometimes called cullote or top sirloin fat cap. Each piece weighs about 3 to 4 pounds. Ask your butcher to trim the bottom and leave the fat from the top of the cut.

Thanks Flip, I've written down your suggestion.

Carol - My fiance is in Campo Grande right now getting her Passport, and Police Documents. When I speak to her (most likely within the hour) I'm going to ask that she find out the name of the company I had seen when I was there that exports the stuff. :thumbs:

Thanks alooooooooooooooooooooooooooot Richard!!! :yes: You dont :no: have a clue how much I searched for this info!!! Really, really, thanks alot!!!

Im going to the grocery tomorrow to ask the butcher to cut it for me!!! Put some garlic and sea salt on it, and right on in the charcoal barbecue!!! Of course, with some rice, 'farofa' and 'vinagrete' as side dishes.

Thanks Erik!!! I used that company I mentioned above to buy the stuff for my feijoada 2 weeks ago. Of course they gave me a closest retail store (3 hours from here) and I needed to pay the shipping too. It was way too expensive: around $100 for the stuff and more $30 for UPS. I think I will never make another feijoada here again!!! :crying:

Damn, I wish I could live around NJ, NY or MA... Lots of brazilians stores... But hey! Where I live, I just love it!!! :yes:

Carol ;)

Total tab: $320 Ouch!!!! :(
