COMIDA BRASILEIRA EM ISRAEL! Será que vai fazer sucesso?

Shalom and welcome back to ‘Israel with Aline!’ We are in Tel Aviv today, and we came here to find out what do the Israelis think about Brazilian food? And that’s why we brought Brazilian flavors here today, I wonder what their reaction will be? So if you are ready, let’s get started! And to help us with today’s challenge, which is to make the Israelis get to know a little bit of our Brazilian food, we have Simone Cohen here with us today, so Shalom! [Simone] Shalom Shalom! Tell us what you brought to this wonderful table? [Simone] A little bit of our menu; here is the coxinha, bolinha de queijo, and “pão que queijo”, the famous cheese bread! Chicken pie, beef risole, meat pie, pizza risole, cheese pastry, the sweets here from “Sandy Bakers”; brigadeiro, a vegan cake, and quindim. Just a little bit, we still have a lot on our menu. You have no idea how long I haven’t eaten some of these things! Brigadeiro I even ate a little while ago, but coxinha, guys, I can’t remember the last time I had a good coxinha, pastel! So, it’s for the Israelis to taste, but I’m also going to enjoy today! [Simone] And let’s toast with Guarana Antarctica! So now let’s see the Israelis who are passing by, let’s start calling them and let’s open the table and the party! [Simone] Great, let’s see if they approve of my treats! We are here with three Israelis who are going to be the first to taste today, what are your names? What are you doing here today? [Yuval] We are part of the armored vehicle department in the army, they are instructors and I am from the department. And we are working on a project to upload content to a civilian website. So, folks, they’re Israeli Army soldiers even though they’re not dressed like soldiers, and they are here now also to taste our food. Do you know anything about Brazilian food? No. Is everything new?! All new! Cheers! Wow, very tasty! Very good, there’s a lot of cheese. It looks like it has cheese and potatoes. Yes, it’s great! The people next here are shouting if it tastes good! You can come! There will be more people here to prove it in a little while. It is really very tasty. They are happy! Do you know guarana? No I saw it at the supermarket. While I serve them Guaraná, have you ever been to Brazil? No, I wish! When do you want to go? On the “grand tour” after the army. many Israelis who finish their military service, after two intensive years, go on a grand tour around the world. Many travel around South America and also in Brazil. And I also want to go in a year’s time to Carnaval. How much time do you have left in the Army? One year, one year and bye-bye. She is in the military career, she is an officer. How long have you been in the army? Four years. That’s nice, and do you intend to continue? Maybe. And now, cheers! Cheers! It tastes good. Looks like sparkling Nestea, looks like sparkling apple juice. And let’s close with a dessert? Yes. You can take it. I’m also getting guys, I’ll prove it every time with the people. This is called brigadeiro. It looks good. And it is super Brazilian. Beteavon (good appetite). My God! It’s wonderful! It’s incredible, incredible! It melts in the mouth, it looks like it’s made of caramel. No, it’s chocolate. It’s made of condensed milk with chocolate You can thank Simone. Thank you very much! It’s great! Very tasty! So Simone is being approved here now! Well, I was already saying goodbye to them and they kept looking at the table and asked to taste a little more, so so you can take whatever you want. so there’s also meat pie here, there’s a little bit of everything. So have a good appetite and now let’s find more Israelis to come and try! They are enjoying it! Shalom! What are your names? It’s just that we have a microphone, so he is shouting so that everybody can hear. Have you ever been to Brazil? [Elá] I have! Where? I was in Rio, in the Chapada, in Jericoacara, Ilha Grande and Morro de São Paulo. She knows almost more than I do! Have you ever been there? Not yet. Do you know Brazilian food?
