We're way off topic anyway, but what about coffee? As a brazilian I was surprised by the american coffee. After all, the USA buy the *very best* coffee beans from Brazil and Colombia, and use it... to make that? It's watered coffee, decaf - so it's not coffee after all :-) We're used to strong coffee here (I think we're on par with the Italians). Also the bread... I could not find good bread in any of the places where I gone (there are some good, specialty bakers in my home city, so I'm used to good bread too :-). For chocolate, the quality in Brazil varies widely, from the "chocolate-flavored" drinks to the very best (made traditionally by families that came from Europe at the turn of the 20th century). p.s. If you come to Brazil, go to a *real* coffee shop, please. There are also *lots* of places with terrible coffee around, specially at Rio de Janeiro <running-for-cover>. Carlos Ribeiro
