Fish with vinegar sauce - Fish and sea food are the base of the Maranhão dishes. Prepared in the form of stews, soups and pies the fish, such as snook and yellow fish are generally accompanied by cuxá made from dried shrimp, manioc flour, toasted sesame seed and vinegar, a slightly bitter herb. The cuxá may also be served with rice in the traditional rice-with-cuxá which does not include manioc flour. Desserts based on regional fruit creams like cupuaçu and bacuri.
Jesus Guaraná - Created in 1920 by the pharmacist Jesus Norberto Gomes (in the back garden of his home, to please his grandchildren), the drink is a success in the State. Pink in color, with a cinnamon aroma and very sweet, the formula is a secret closely guarded by the inventor's family. The legend says there are 17 ingredients, including several Amazon herbs. The characteristic color comes from the tree bark extracts. The Jesus Guaraná slogan has been the same for decades: "the pink dream". Where to drink it: in the bars and restaurants across the State.
