Cooking feijoada
Feijoada is the national dish of Brazil. When the feijoada is nearly ready be careful not to use a fork or spoon (or in fact any utensils) in the dish, this is said to spoil the flavour and turn the dish sour. If you do need to add water while it is cooking, make sure it is boiling.
