One of Acre's most emblematic dishes
One of Acre's most emblematic dishes is known by a curious name: Baixaria. This delicacy consists of a combination of hydrated corn couscous with butter, well-seasoned ground meat, fried egg and green scent. Accompanied by a generous mug of coffee with milk, Baixaria is often enjoyed in the early hours of the morning. The peculiar origin of the name dates back to the arrival of a cowboy at Mercado do Bosque, where the dish was created. Driven by hunger, the cowboy requested a dish with a mixture of available ingredients, including couscous from breakfast, ground beef from lunch and a fried egg on top. When asking for the bill before heading off to another day of work, the cowboy asked: "How much did that dish I ate cost?".. Did you know?
