Brazil

Brazil
While walking in Brazil , i noticed the climate is a tropical country. Its territory is for the major part situated north of the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs near São Paulo. The tropical siting manifests itself most in the climate and vegetation, therefore influencing the land use, the way of life and the character of Brazilian people.
I wanted to find out what the geographic location. I saw a sign Brazil is the largest country in South America with 15,735 km (9,777 miles) of boundaries with 10 out of the 12 South American countries: Argentina, Paraguai, Uruguai, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
   
I went to a local restuaraunt and the chef  began telling me the cooking method. she said they grilling meats for a long period of time. Steaming food in a pit oven. They oven grill, steam, or boil there foods. i began asking what the food principles were and she said they use a lot of cocoa, cloves, and cinnamon. They also use garlic and parsley.
 
 In Brazil they use some rare spices such as Tempero Baiano, Paracress, and Annatto. I asked the lady what the meal schedule was and she told me that breakfast at home is a simple affair in Brazil.

A common food is the Feijoada. Feijoada is Brazil's national dish, it is a meat stew with rice and a bowl of beans. A food we eat in a america that they eat in brazil is papayas. People eat and drink a lot during Carnival, enjoying spice dishes, such as pepper-scented rice and feijoada, and sweets.
Most of the country has a tropical climate. There are 26 states in Brazil. I really loved it here.
