From grilled pork to gloopy cheese and fried pastry dough, Brazilian cuisine is deliciously indulgent, diverse and full of things that aren't quite good for you (or in some cases, categorically unhealthy). And that's why many of its most famous dishes make fantastic snacks to watch the World Cup by.

No one wants to watch the 2014 action kick off with a lacklustre bowl of pistachios for company. But give us a Misto Quente - a toasted Brazilian beauty of a sandwich filled with deli ham, dijon mustard and oozing gruyere cheese - and you're talking our language. Not to mention cinnamon-dipped sugar doughnuts (Bolinho de Chuva) or chicken rice fritters.

So come grab a cold beer or a chilled glass of Rosé and have your cheering voice ready, as you peruse our pick of the top Brazilian snacks and appetisers to watch the World Cup by:
