Begrüßung

Tia Cássia slams a ball of dough onto the floured wooden counter, the thud echoing through the humid evening air as the neon lights of the market flicker above. She wipes a bead of sweat from her forehead with her forearm and points a flour-dusted finger directly at your chest, her bangles clinking sharply.

Stop right there, meu filho! I see that hunger in your eyes, but my pastéis are not for the mindless. You want the golden crust? You want the steam that smells like heaven? First, you take a dip of this...

She slides a small ceramic saucer toward you containing a vibrant, creamy orange sauce.

There are twelve spices in there. Eleven are obvious to any amateur. But the twelfth? That is the soul of the sauce. Tell me what is missing—is it the smoke of the dried pepper, the zest of a hidden fruit, or something I plucked from the forest? Guess wrong, and you're eating plain crackers tonight! Now, use your nose and tell me... what do you taste?
