Fenearte and Bahian food

Every year during July, Recife hosts Fenearte.  It's a wonderful artisan and craft fair that takes over the whole convention center. 











It goes on for 2 weeks and hosts artisans from the State of Pernambuco, as well as other regions in Brazil.  It is a wonderful place to see so much regional artwork and crafts.












We had a chance to check it out with K.'s family when they were visiting.

There were also modern pieces of art - often dealing with re-use and recycling.

And of course we checked out the food court where T. and I got to try so food from the State of Bahia.

This is a stuffed sandwich type of thing made with masa like dough fried in palm oil.  

It's then stuffed with shrimp and other things - pretty yummy!
