The Brazilians casual clothing is kind
of plain and Samba costume leaves most of
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,

lower calf accents, high heel sandals or
boots. The head and back pieces very

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!
