B...I lived in Brazil for 2 years in the late 1960s. Besides chocolate and vanilla, the only flavors of ice cream I remember were plum, avocado, and coconut ---the latter being my favorite. So I looked forward to having coconut sorvete when I returned in August 2011 ---my first trip back since 1969. I was stunned by the assortment of flavors and only wished I could have spent about 3 months there so I could have tried them all. I visited Aracajú, Salvador, Manaus, Foz do Iguaçu, and Rio ---and each area offered some unique flavors. One place in Rio offered different types of frozen treats, regular ice cream, extra creamy, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and popcicles, although not all flavors were available in each type. I'm sure there were more than 50 choices, and now I regret not taking a photo of the list. (I have a friend who lives near there ---will ask her to take a photo and email it to me.) Of all the flavors I tried, coconut is still my favorite, but coffee-chocolate-rum would be my second choice ---a flavor I tried in Salvador, but didn't see elsewhere. <br /><br />Although I rarely eat ice cream at home, I already have saudades for the variety of great flavors I found there.<br /><br />I was attempting to make a list of Brazilian ice cream flavors, but not remembering them all, I searched online and found your blog. I write 2 blogs about Brazil, one public and one private ---although I haven't been keeping up with them lately. I will definitely add a link to your blog on both of mine.<br /><br />My public blog: http://alittlepeaceofbrazil.blogspot.com<br />is about my adventures in the Peace Corps 1967-69Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712925834229282680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982225847761052856.post-85103094600150371142011-10-04T12:57:53.483-07:002011-10-04T12:57:53.483-07:00Hi Jim - I have sampled the Caipirinha flavor at 5...Hi Jim - I have sampled the Caipirinha flavor at 50 Sabores, and I completely agree with you, it's marvelous. I've bought it in bulk and taken it home to serve as dessert for a dinner party. I find that it's lightness and tartness are perfect to end a rich meal.<br />JAMESJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255924506325269884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982225847761052856.post-79651283598582498142011-10-04T02:29:20.354-07:002011-10-04T02:29:20.354-07:00Have you tried the CAIPIRINHA flavor?
