Botequim

[citation needed] In Rio de Janeiro, the "botequins" are also known as "pé-sujo" (dirty-feet) when sanitary conditions are questionable.

In Belo Horizonte, nationally known as the "Brazilian capital of the boteco", there are about 12,000 establishments, more bars per capita than any other city in the world.

[2] Also in Belo Horizonte is used often the term "boteco-copo-sujo" (dirty-cup-pub) which is an offshoot of the genre "boteco" for definition of the level of slovenliness of the establishment, in allusion to its appearance, as though welcoming, most no prizes for their apparent aspects such as cleaning or air.

Among the delicacies of the most unusual boteco, we can cite the traditional liver with onions (figado acebolado), spicy chorizo (chouriço apimentado) or the fried scarlet eggplant (jiló frito), accompanied by beer, the chopp, the famous caipirinha or the cachaça.

[citation needed] There is even a well-known competition between the crowded bars of Belo Horizonte to select which has the best and most traditional pub food.
