Festa Juninha

I arrived in Rio just in time for the traditional celebration of Festa Juninha, which is a "country-style" party that combines the celebration of many saints whose "birthdays" take place in the month of June. Our favorite new friend Nanda took me to a party featuring lots of food that was all the same color - including: corn bread with coconut, manioc bread with coconut, pao de queijo, candies of leite condensado (condensed milk), cocada (sweeter, heartier maccaroons), and the infamous tube of Moça. Manufactured by Nestle, Moça is a tube of condensed milk that you can squirt onto anything, especially those items already made with condensed milk.
