Interesting. Not surprised that people were not getting sick. Sounds like they cook at high temps and that would kill any bacteria. And remember, some bacteria is necessary for some flavors. Take dairy products for example.

"Churrasco (pronounced shoo-RAS-koo) or Brazilian barbecue was the traditional staple food of the gaúchos or cowboys of Southern Brazil for centuries before it spread to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo."

. . .

"The meat was originally cooked over coals, usually in a pit dug in the ground, skewered in metal spits. The only seasoning was coarse salt and each gaúcho had his own churrasco knife which he used to cut pieces of meat from the spit. People in southern Brazil have churrasco pits built in their backyards with bricks or incorporated into a wall with decorative tiles around the edges."

. . .

"The meats used most often are Brazilian sausages, different cuts of beef, pork tenderloin, and chicken. In the U.S., you can use chouriço or a good spicy pork sausage if you can't find Brazilian sausages, t-bone steaks and sirloin strips, chicken thighs and drumsticks, and the pork tenderloin or pork chops. In Brazil, there'll be chicken hearts, turkey breast, different cuts of meat wrapped in bacon or filled with cheese, etc."

Killer, huh? Gotta put that last one on the gotta try list . . .
