Origin Story: There is a recurring theme across the globe where the Lay’s Flavor Departments view Brazilian cuisine primarily as a collection of condiments. From the Brazilian Style Garlic Sauce in the USA to this “Spicy Salsa” in Thailand, the vision of Brazil seems to begin and end with a squeeze bottle. It’s a coordinated, international effort in culinary reductionism, proving that regardless of the country, the Flavor Departments’ definition of “Brazilian Style” is simply whatever tastes like a dipping sauce.
