Brazilian Original Food

Finally, I am introducing first Latin American food.

That is Brazilian Food!!!

As you know, Brazil has large area and affluent nature.

Therefore, foodstuff is also very rich!!!!

Brazilian food has been influenced by first Portuguese, African, Asian and Indian.

Now the most popular national cuisine is “Feijoada”

This is a stew of bean with beef and pork.

This was brought to South America by the Portuguese.

Feijoada comes with rice, cassava powder and couve (stir-fried kale).

Feijoada is considered to be the food for wends day and Saturday.

But now this custom is getting weak.

By the way, Sunday is steak day!!!!!

Other than Feijoada, Moqueca and Churrasco are famous Brazilian food.

Moqueca is traditional sea food stew with coconut milk.

Next is Churrasco.

This is Brazilian grilled meat.

In restaurant, the waiters move around tables in turn and slice meat.

Finally, this is not food, but let me talk about drink a little bit.

Brazil is famous for coffee.

Brazil is the largest coffee supplier, which produces about two third of  total amount of coffee around the world.

Mate tea is also famous Brazilian drink.

It is healthy tea that contains mineral like iron and vitamins.

They use special tool for Mate tea.

It is called “drinking salad”

Because in the area where it is difficult to grow vegetable, this is one of the important source of nutrition.

What a wonderful drink!!!
