they do those here, too. i like them. i like them a lot. >> what's magical about this cocktail is the first taste, it's like i don't know, man, it's a little too something. then like that second sip, it's like oh, that's kind of good. then the third sip, it's where are my pants. fortunately, food in these parts tends to be, shall we say, hearty. for instance, a delightful meal of fried meat with plenty of absorbent starch product like baropha, the perfect accompaniment to many, many caipirinhas. >> excellent. now we're talking. tough town for vegetarians. oh, good. i'll have six more of these, please. people are staring at me.
