Bahian food.

It's a well known fact that Cariocas can't really handle their spice-- so I was incredibly excited to try all the Bahian food in Salvador. A disclaimer: to those who love hot food, Bahian food isn't really that spicy, but it's got its own flavors that are just a fun to discern when eating. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get a kick from the foods (like most Asian cooking) but it was fun to try everything from the acaraje to the mocqueca to the bobo de camarao.
