The Brazilians casual clothing is kind

the body uncovered so the dancer doesn’t

get overheated. The costume is

multicolored, embellished with beads,

glitter, feathers, jewels, flowers, and

rhinestones. The samba costume includes…

embellished head pieces, back pieces,

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.

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!

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.

Brazil is a very exotic country with

all of its exotic foods, but it has much in

common with America. First of all, its

regions all have different cuisines just

like America. Next, Brazil has many

immigrants that bring different foods.

One of Americas favorite immigrated foods

is PIZZA! Also, a typical day is pretty much

the same in both countries. In a lot of ways

we are the same even though we are far

apart. Brazil is an amazing country with

great food!
