Brazilian Rice and Beans

I recently asked a Brazilian who had been living in the states for 2 years what food he missed most from Brazil. He said without hesitation, "rice and beans!" I don't think one day went by when I was in Brazil that I didn't eat rice and beans. It is a staple there. They eat it at every meal and love it. You would think that they would get tired eating the same thing every day, but they don't. I never did.
