Comments for Brazilian Government Sets Rules on How to Prepare National Drink Caipirinha at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:47:48 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_18017 I don't want any caipirinha made according to these guidelines. Rather than setting a quality standard, the guidelines seem aimed at cheapening and productizing caipirinhas. What a tragedy for one of the best things about Brazil - Me Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:36:30 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_18010 Wow, I'm glad they finally got that out of the way. Now, on to less important things, like hunger and unemployment.... - Kirk Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:27:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_17999 Let's hope the Caipirinha Enforcement unit of the Military Police conducts themselves in a responsible fashion. Vinny, my dear fellow. How can you be so cruel towards our Military Police, when they have no control over the "Rules and Regulations" set by the "Commies"?. I bet they are as upset as we are over this issue. Are the Commies going to set standards for the Lemons used in our "Caipirinhas" ? What happens if we can not find lemons with right diameters, because of poor harvest? This issue, IMHO, is very serious, my dear fellow. I urge you (in your customary methodical manner) study the matter and come out with a viable solution. ;) Another question: Do they grow Lemons in Switzerland? - João da Silva Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:26:49 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_17998 I was waiting for the ;) part of this article....to no avail. I'm surprised at the serious tone of it. The use of any ingredients that could alter the "natural sensory qualities" of the final spirit such as colorings is strictly banned. How strict????????? Let's hope the Caipirinha Enforcement unit of the Military Police conducts themselves in a responsible fashion. - VinnyCarioca Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:10:28 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_17997 The Brazilian government has published legal guidelines for the popular caipirinha, the most common and extended alcoholic drink of the 190 million population country, and which becomes mandatory as of this month. Excuse me, is this article saying that the Brazilian Government wants to invade the Brazilian homes and set rules as how to prepare "Caipirinha" ? Great. No wonder that Raul Castro is visiting Brasil to teach the "Rulers" as how to control the private lives of poor Brazilians by establishing " Rules and Regulations". It implies that if our "National Drink" is not prepared according to the "Guide Lines", we will be jailed? I am horrified. Que Merda é essa? Would Lord Augustus care to comment? - João da Silva Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:48:02 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10135/1/#pc_17996 To drink a gallon of ethanol...to support its price ! - ch.c.
