Brazilians sure do speak Portuguese, Tony! Way back in history, Portugal and Spain split South America between them (I think a Pope helped out with that), and Portugal got the part that became Brazil. I've been lucky enough to travel in both places, and the modern cuisines are very different ... Brazil got a lot of Africa added to its food and culture over the centuries. So I can't rule out that Feijoada doesn't turn up in the mother country, but I'd be surprised to learn that it's common.
Then again, what do I know?
I'll be pleasantly surprised to learn if any of it is readily available here, though.
