I generally don't draw too much brazilian stuff. But I was craving a good, plentiful breakfast for some time so I decided to draw this, to illustrate the most common breakfast items on a brazilian household.

From left to right, we have Qualy, a popular margarine (or, "can't believe its not butter") brand. Then we have what we call "french bread" (pão francês), that is generally eaten with butter/margarine in the middle, or toasted on the pan with margarine/butter.

Moving onto the "frios" (cold cuts) we have mozzarella, a popular cheese choice for brazilians, and then mortadela, which is again really popular, especially in poorer households, but it can be switched for salami, ham, or turkey breast. Generally these are eaten in "french bread", and you choose whether to eat them cold or put it in the grill for a "misto quente" (cheese grilled sandwich with ham).

Then we have pão de queijo (cheese bread), another authentic brazilian breakfast item.

For drinks, we have more common choices such as orange juice, or coffee (a classic, but sometimes there is also tea). Many brazilians also mix their coffee with milk, making the "café com leite" (milk with coffee)

We then see cornmeal cake (bolo de fubá) which is commonly enjoyed with coffee. Again, vert typical.

In the middle we see couscous, which have lots of varieties, but breakfast couscous is called cuscuz nordestino (northeast couscous) which is enjoyed along with butter/margarine, since it's texture is a bit hard to swallow otherwise.

Then we have papaya, which is a fruit readily available in the brazilian market. Generally, its not very sweet, so many people like to eat it with honey or sugar. Nonetheless, it's a healthier breakfast option.

Romeu e Julieta (do I even need to translate?) Is the junction of goiabada (guava paste, a brazilian candy made with guava) and Minas Cheese (Caracteristic cheese from Minas Gerais), which makes a combination so good it's like romeo and juliet. People also like to have it on top of crackers in the morning.

Last but not least, we have tapioca, made with cassava root. It is commonly enjoyed with butter/margarine, but you can really put whatever you want with it. A dessert version with condensed milk and fresh fruits is also very popular among different parts of the country.

-

That's about it. We dont eat that much at once, that's an example of a very full, stuffed breakfast table, but, nonetheless, I'd say it's a good representation of what most brazilians are eating on breakfast or on an afternoon snack.
