Day 8 (9/1): Rio
Lunch - Random restaurant on a side street. Food costs were by the kg...

Snack - Churro stuffed with chocolate.. Mmmm...

Dinner - Brazil Churrascaria ... but not buffet style since we cut a deal to not do all you can eat :P

Day 9 (9/2): Rio
Lunch - Random restaurant on a side street. This one not weighing by the kg

Part of Dinner - 30 cm hotdog with quail egg.. for 4 reais!

Day 10 (9/3): Rio
Snack - Acui in Favela
(Picture not taken... but it's this black goo like thing that is pretty healthy for you supposedly)
Lunch/Dinner - Cooking in Rio. Lots of boozing, banana with fried manioc, shrimp thing, and rice

The guinea pig was interesting (tasted like chicken), but other than that, most of food I had I would say was pretty standard... was expecting some cool food... but I guess it wasn't to be.
