Globo

One of the first things we noticed when we first came to Rio was all these people walking around carrying these huge clear bags of little white packages of food.  We didn’t know what was in those little white packages, but we vowed to buy one before we left.  For weeks we kept seeing them and kept wondering what in the heck they could be. 

We finally got some on one of our last days in Copacabana…

Inside was a very light (hence why the vendors could carry bags 3 times the size of themselves) and fried kind of cookie…

I think we ended up getting the salty one.  I don’t know what the other offer was, but we heard “sal” and went with it since we knew what it meant.  Remember my cow stomach incident?  Go with what you know.

It wasn’t sweet and tasted buttery.  We kept debating on what it actually tasted like, but I settled on pie crust. 

Mystery solved.
