Native of Portugal, the dish was transformed in typical dish of
Corumbá: sarrabulho or sarravulho. It’s a simple dish, but extremely tasty, prepared with ox viscera, sausage, stewed with wine and
vegetables.
Not only the typical food of Corumbá, but the one found in the entire
Pantanal received strong Indian, paraguayan and bolivian influence, besides incorporating elements of other places of Brazil.
The indians introduced the consume of palmetto, corn and also roots
like cassava. It was also through the indians that residents of Corumbá started enjoying the xibé, a typical beverage that mixes
cassava flour, honey and water. From the neighbor countries of South America, Pantanal absorbed dishes like puchero and locro, which
are basically cooked meat, corn-cheese pies, without forgetting the chicha, which is corn juice.
In Corumbá, dishes like sopa de piranha (piranha soup), macarrão
boiadeiro (a kind of pasta), which is mixed with carne seca (jerked meat), and the watermelon sweet are easily found. At Corumbá, a
different soft drink is also produced, called mate chimarrão, made from erva-mate. |
