One of the must see tourist places of São Paulo! At the mercado muncipal you can find vendors selling you anything from seafood, all types of fruit, or hot sauces. The stands of fruit, were pretty interesting to look at, so many different fruits I've never seen in my life before! What really made me stop and take a better look was the pimenta stand selling hot sauces. Maybe it's just what I got used in Salvador, Brazil on my mission, but food with a good hot sauce is the difference of terrestrial food to celestial food! They were selling one of the world's hottest peppers in the world called the Bhut Jolokia. They let us sample it and after one drop I could feel my throat burning up! Appropriately the bottled version is called Hell's Pimenta. And yup we bought it, and you can bet we'll be coming back to buy some more bottles of it to take home with us! For lunch we ate at a gourmet lunch place (a place that is famous for their pastels and great sandwiches like the bologna sandwich that we ordered.) Recommend it 100%!
