Macacheira

“Would you like to come and get some macacheira with me?” I was walking by Clenildo during the InterVinha Conference. It was still before breakfast. Clenildo drove me out to his chacara, and pulled up some small trees. The roots of these trees kind of grow like potatoes. You can boil them, fry them and bake with them. They are easy to replant. You just put one of the branches back into the hole you pulled the tree out of, and it will be ready again in a few months. Clenildo also showed me banana and papaya trees that were bearing fruit, and lots of fruit trees that are still very young. “Thanks for coming out here with me. Life is a lot more fun when you can show friends what you are doing.”
Clenildo is the main pastor of this movement here in the Northern Brasil, and greatly loved. 
The cooks prepared the macacheira as part of the lunch for the 200 + conference participants.
