Brigadeiro refers to a popular delicious sweet/dessert which can be considered as Brazil's national dessert. Brigadeiros look like balls of chocolate similar to truffles. A thick mix of condensed milk, butter and chocolate powder is rolled into small balls and cooked. Once cooled, they are covered in chocolate sprinkles like a truffle. They are named after a Brigadier that helped stop a communist coup in Rio.
Brigadeiros are usually served in every Brazilian birthday party and special occassions.
Buro is the Filipino word for "pickled" or "fermented". Just putting the food which is to be pickled/fermented in water with salt, as in Burong Talangka (Pickled/Fermented small river crabs), Burong Kamias (Pickled/Fermented Kamias) and Burong Mustasa (Pickled/Fermented Mustard Leaves). In Ilocos, Karmay is also prepared this way, they just put fresh Karmay in water with salt and it is ready to eat some hours.
The last time I ate Burong Karmay was in Vigan Ilocos Sur, nar their beautiful church, there was a small wooden cart selling them from a big glass jar with salted water and filled with green Karmay.
