Editing Brazilian cuisine (section)

===Vegetarian===
Although many traditional dishes are prepared with meat or fish, it is not difficult to live on [[vegetarian food]] as well, at least in the mid-sized and larger cities of Brazil. There is a rich supply of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and on city streets one can find cheese buns (''[[pão de queijo]]''); in some cities even the version made of [[soy]].

In the 2000s, [[São Paulo]], [[Rio de Janeiro]] and [[Brasília]] have gained several vegetarian and [[vegan]] restaurants.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vegetarian Restaurants in Brazil |url= http://www.happycow.net/south_america/brazil/ |access-date=2011-05-30}}</ref> However outside big metropolises, vegetarianism is not very common in the country. Not every restaurant will provide vegetarian dishes and some seemingly vegetarian meals may turn out to include unwanted ingredients, for instance, using [[lard]] for cooking [[bean]]s. Commonly "meat" is understood to mean "red meat", so some people might assume a vegetarian eats fish and chicken. ''Comida por quilo'' and all-you-can-eat restaurants prepare a wide range of fresh dishes. Diners can more easily find food in such restaurants that satisfies dietary restrictions.
