"A Brazilian? I don't even know how many that is...."

We are set to continue our spree of round-the-world gourmandising tonight.... with a 'Brazilian' barbecue. We do not expect any genuine Brazilians to be involved in the cooking or serving of our repast. (Tibetans dressed as gauchos is the norm in Beijing's numerous cod-Brazilian eateries.) But we do expect meat. Lots of meat.
