Eu comprei um quilo de bacon pra colocar na feijoada. "I bought one kilo of bacon to put on my feijoada." batata frita "potato chips" You can say “batata frita” to potato chips and also to French fries. Eu pedi um x-burguer com batata frita e refrigerante. "I ordered a cheeseburger with potato fries and soda." Yeah, that’s not good for you! bebidas energéticas "energy drinks" Energy drinks are becoming very popular in Brazil. There are so many brands nowadays! One of the most used ingredients are açaí and guaraná. They are both fruits from Amazon. Eu precisei tomar um energético, senão eu ia dormir! "I had to drink an energy drink; otherwise, I would sleep!" carne processada "processed meat" I think processed meat and also frozen food are not good for you. It’s such a magic thing that you put on your microwave, or the oven, and it’s ready! I don’t know, I don’t trust that. But I eat it. Você não deveria comer carne processada. "You shouldn't eat processed meat." comidas congeladas "frozen meals" Yeah, I was just talking about them, right? Those foods are such an easy thing, so convenient. You just put on the microwave, and “pum”, it’s ready. Outro dia eu tava com uma vontade de comer lasanha! Daí eu comprei uma congelada. "The other day I was craving a lasagna, so I bought a frozen one." doce "candy" “Doce” means “sweet”, so everything that is sweet is “doce”. For example cake, candies, everything!

And specially kids love “miojo.” Quando eu era criança eu sempre comia miojo. "When I was a kid, I always ate instant noodles." margarina "margarine" Brazilians eat a lot of margarine, especially in the morning, because it’s customary to eat bread with margarine, also coffee with milk in the morning. Eu pedi um pãozinho com margarina lá na padaria. "I ordered bread with margarine at the bakery." pipoca de microondas "microwave popcorn" Microwave popcorn are so convenient! I don’t buy normal corn anymore to do my own popcorn. I’d just buy those “ready” ones, that would be ready like in three minutes! Vamos assistir um filme e fazer pipoca de microondas. "Let's watch a movie and prepare some microwave popcorn." refrigerante "soda" I think that everyone knows that sodas are not good for your health. But we keep drinking it anyway, right?! Vamos comprar refrigerante para a festa de hoje à noite. "Let's buy soda for tonight's party." O fim, the end! That’s it for today. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it!
