I Ate Like a Local in Salvador

Salvador, Brazil is a place you're let into, not one you just visit. On my first trip to South America, I follow the food deep into Bahian culture. A legendary open-air market. Five centuries of African-Brazilian history. A village artisan still making dende oil by hand. Carnival with 1.5 million people flooding the streets. A quiet afternoon with four generations of a family on the land they've farmed their whole lives. This is the Salvador locals actually live.
