Porém, não espere encontrar esta delícia nos supermercados... as fabulosas rosquinhas de polvilho crocantes, salgadas ou doces, são vendidas por ambulantes e somente em situações bem específicas como praia, engarrafamentos...

This is a very Rio de Janeiro's delicacy. It's called "biscoito globo" or "globe biscuits" freely translating. Don't expect to find it in supermarkets, though... This fabulous crunchy air puffed salty or sweet delight is only sold in very specific places and situations: beach or traffic jams.
According to their website the biscuit started to be produced in 1953. Today the bakery is located in the city centre, on a small door, unidentified, where tons of resellers queue every morning to guarantee a bag (as you can see on the Google Street View picture).
Don't get confused by the similar Extra Biscuits. Globo is the best! It is definitely a classic and it's more than worth trying, specially if drinking a refreshing "mate leão", subject for another post!
Adoro o biscoito que já virou ícone do Rio! Viu as cangas estampadas com a emvalagem dele? Minha irmãuma vez fez uma festa tipo luau e foi aí nessa portinha comprar um sacão de biscoito Globo!!!! Um beijão e pena que nos desencontramos!
