Ok, first pic. The guava paste, I'd reccomend that. It's very sweet, but healthy. It's excellent with fresh cheese, in the US I've seen it as "queso de freir" in American stores, it makes a very common desert here, Romeo and Juliet.
The Forno de Minas cheese puff mini rolls, also delicious in my opinion, especially if they're fresh. It might be a bit tricky baking them, they might end up as hard as rocks if you bake them too much, so you might take a couple attempts to get them just fine
2nd pic, pastel, like the spanish empanada but tastier, especially if they were just prepared and fried, no way you wouldn't like that. probably ground beef inside.
3rd pic you have more fried / baked snacks. They're all delicious, especially the coxinhas, they have ground chicken and you fry them. My experience is that Americans will get adicted to it, so be careful. The fried pastry cones are supposed to take "doce de leite" (a type of caramel paste, you probably will find it there too). Doce de leite tends to be too sweet for people trying it for the first time, so the cones, who are slightly salty, make for a good combo. Also a common desert here.
4th pic you have the paçoca, it's a type of peanut snack, not too salty or sweet, I find it very good, buy it all the time. Might be bit too dry if you're not used to it. I used to mix them with a bit of peanut butter in the US, over here I eat them plain all the time, one bite because they tend to crumble incredibly easily.
The 5th pic you have the "feijoada kit" on the upper left corner along with the other cured meats, if you're feeling adventurous. The meats are also worth trying, they make excellent pizzas and sandwiches.
That's what I would recommend from those.
Ya I have a deep fryer so I dont mind grabbing products with crust but I need meat not ruffage.. I got my own ways of dealing with my bio waste regularity
