This week I found an item on a menu that was really something new. This is nice, and rare too! It was Vatapa. It is described on the web as stew http://www.whats4eats.com/recipes/r_fi_vatapa.php, but at Brazil Grill is was served as a kind of paste (thickened with a starch). It has grilled shrimp on top of the paste, and a generous serving of fish in addition. For a side dish I received rice and beans. My server kindly warned me that this dish was not for everyone - perhaps I didn't look Brazilian? She was sweet about it, but it gave me the impression that it was only for the brave. Well, I am, and enjoyed it. The flavors were a little unusual, and the consistency was too, and I really like it. I would order it again.
