Morena’s Guaraná
Pink has a star. Pink has a star. When she announces her broths around the Mercado da Casa Amarela, she really catches the attention of passersby. This is proven by her appearances on TV, in Eliana’s show on SBT, and being a character in a short film. With her pink cart and dressed entirely in… pink, of course, Pink sells her Vaca Atolada broth,as well as several others that she prepares herself at home. A former caregiver for the elderly, one day she had the urge to abandon everything to sellfood on the streets. Today, she prepares not only Vaca Atolada but also Mocotó, Feijoada, Shrimp Broth, Chicken Head Broth, and the unusual Dog Porridge, a mixture of water with cassava flour and seasonings. The Vaca Atolada, made with beef rib and dried beef, uses top-quality cassava. “This is the food of the woman from the countryside,” she proudly states.
