Brazilian Food! Brazil is a wonderful country with many exotic cuisines. Brazil has 3 different regions with all different preferences in food. Brazil does have a lot of exotic foods but a lot of times they eat just like Americans. A normal day in Brazil starts with a great breakfast. If you do go to Brazil, you will be eating well for sure! http://www.maria-brazil.org/newimages/moquecaetc.jpg
Brazil’s three regions all have different tastes in food. In northern Brazil, they eat a lot of proteins such as fish, peanuts, and red meats. In southern Brazil, they have a lot of immigrants so they have a large cuisine but one of their favorites is lasagna. Southeastern Brazil has the biggest varieties in food because of the big cities. One big city is Sao Paulo which eats a lot like America. They eat things like pizza, pasta, and sushi. America too has different regions that eat different things. https://classes.lt.unt.edu/Fall_2010/CECS_5420_020/rde0038/Assign5/reg.gif
Brazil doesn’t only eat foods that immigrants brought, they also have some originals. One original dish that is a favorite in many regions is vatapa. Vatapa is a spicy mixture of bread, spicy shrimp, and palm oil. Brazil’s national dish is feijoda which is a stew with chunks of pork and black beans served over rice. A favorite Brazilian dessert is bolos which is a delicious cake filled with tasty fillings. A favorite of Americans is French fries! http://img4.myrecipes.com/i/recipes/ck/11/03/brazilian-feijoada-ck-l.jpg
A typical day in Brazil starts with a great breakfast. Breakfast usually consists of bacon, sausages, eggs, black beans and rice. Lunch is the biggest meal in Brazil. They usually eat rice and beans with some kind of protein. Most of the time Brazilians don’t eat supper until 10 to 11p.m. when they do eat, they eat the same thing that they had for lunch or eat out. America’s typical day is pretty much the same as Brazil.
