Açaí na Tigela

When asked where my friends and I were going for dinner one night, I was told that we were going to eat "earth." I was not thrilled. I was hungry and was not too excited to eat something that I would not like. Envisioning eating "earth brought back memories from long ago of eating at "One World." I had to choke down the food and even then, I could only force myself to eat but a few bites. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to a repeat. When the "earth" dish came I took a bite expecting a gritty, dirt-like, taste but what I found was a wonderfully delicious taste. Thank goodness! I seriously thought I was eating a dessert, not a fruit. Açaí how yummy you are.

Açaí na tigela ("açaí in the bowl") is a typical Brazilian dish made of frozen and mashed açaí palm fruit from the Amazonian region. Its preparation in southern Brazil is different than how it is prepared in the Amazonian region. It is served like a smoothie in a bowl or in a glass, and is commonly topped or mixed with tapioca and/or granola and fruits, especially bananas and strawberries. (Wikipedia).
