WHY BRAZIL?
Because Brazil is a great country -- one of the largest, most populous and, by any account, most interesting of all 200 or so nations on this small planet of ours. Yet it is unknown to most of the American public, many of which don't even realize that the capital of Brazil was moved from Buenos Aires to Brasilia in 1960 (Joke!!!!!. BA never was the Capital of Brazil.)

ANSWER 1. A very popular meal all over Brazil and also a favorite with foreign visitors is the "churrasco" or barbacue, which originated with the southern "gaucho" or cowboy. It consists of meats grilled over an open fire. Some of the finest "churrascos" are served in the south of Brazil. Restaurants which specialize in "churrascos" (the "churrascarias") offer a "rodizio": all you can eat from a large variety of meats, usually served with a variety of salads. The waiters circulate around the tables with long spits of barbeceud chicken, beef, sausage and pork, and slice off the pieces selected by patrons right onto their plates.

Considered Brazil's national dish (although it can be prepared differently depending on the region of the country), "feijoada" consists of black beans simmered with a variety of dried, salted and smoked meats. It was originally made out of odds and ends to feed African slaves.

"Feijoada" for lunch on Saturday is very traditional in Rio de Janeiro, where it is served "completa": with rice, shredded "collard greens or kale", "farofa" (ground manioc root, which is pan-toasted with butter), sliced oranges, and hot sauce.

In the central region of Brazil, the rivers produce a great variety of fishes, like the flavorful "pintado" or the "dourado", usually baked whole in the oven or over an open fire, and served with rice and "pirão" (manioc meal mixed with fish broth).

The typical food from Brazil's northern region is very unique, since it is mostly influenced by the original inhabitants of the country, the Indians. The northern region is dominated by the Amazon basin, still home to some Indian tribes. Fish (like the "pirarucu", the " tambaré" and the "tucunaré") and game are very popular among the locals, who have acess to many exotic and delicious local fruits, like "pupunha", "mangaba", "graviola", "murici" and many others. The forest plays an important part in northern dishes, most of them being prepared with local herbs, roots, and the popular "tucupi" ( a sauce made with the liquid squeeze out of grated manioc root and cooked with lots of garlic).

Brazil's Northeast offers different cuisines: along the coast fish is favored, while in the inland the basic staple is "carne seca" (dried beef). Bahia, a state with strong African roots, offers unusual dishes using "dendê" (palm oil), dried spiced shrimp, coconut milk, hot peppers, nuts, and cilantro. Some of the most famous Bahian dishes are "moqueca" (fish, shrimp, crab, or a seafood combination cooked with dendê oil and coconut milk), "vatapá" (fresh and dried shrimp, fish, ground raw peanuts, coconut milk, dendê oil and seasonings, thickened with grated manioc into a creamy paste) and "acarajé" (a patty made of ground beans fried in dendê oil and filled with "vatapá", dried shrimp, and hot pepper sauce).

Brazilian desserts have a very strong influence from Portugal and tend to be very sweet. In the south, fruits are cooked with sugar at low temperature for many hours until they turn into a tick paste or spread. In the north, jams, ice creams, and puddings are made out of exotic fruits (i.e., "graviola", "jenipapo", "cupuaçu", "açai"). For kids, brigadeiros are a special treat, easy to make and eat: little ball-shaped fudges made out of condensed milk and chocolate, topped with chocolate sprinkles or cocoa.

ANSWER 2. It must be well known for it's beautiful beaches, cuisines and soccer.

ANSWER 3. Brazilian culture is of a very diverse nature. The religion of most Brazilians is Christianity. In fact, Brazil is the largest country in the world whose predominant religion is Roman Catholicism. Many other beliefs over time have been incorporated into the Brazilian catholic belief system such as Spiritism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Ayahuasca, and Judaism as well as religious syncretisms, such as candomblé, umbanda, and macumba, that mix Catholicism with African tribal religions. A majority of the population are non-practicing Catholics and would actually be considered agnostics in many circles. Certain denominations of Christianity, such as Pentecostalism, Methodism, and the Baptist church have also gained a large following.

Both Brazil and the United States are large countries whose population was formed by multiple immigration sources from many countries, each one bringing its own culture. But although the Americans pride themselves on the diversity of multiple cultures and their generally peaceful coexistence, the Brazilian idea of culture is one of mixed unity, containing many diverse ingredients, but composing one meal, so to speak. While the ideal image of the average American is the idea of a white Protestant living next to an African-American or a Jew, the Brazilian is typically white but also multi-ethnic.

In Brazil, religions are not mutually exclusive, therefore for every Saint one may light a candle to, there is an equivalent Orixá (a major deity in candomblé that corresponds to a saint or religious figure in Christianity), that many feel they should also name, just to be safe.

ANSWER 4. The main sport of brazil is Soccer.

Brazil National Dish: Feijoada Recipe and Restaurants
According to legend, and some historians, feijoada was concocted by Brazilian slaves who transformed scraps from the Big House into a slave-quarter delicacy. Citing sundry scholarly sources, the owners of Bolinha, a São Paulo restaurant nationally famous for its feijoada, argue that the black bean stew is instead a Brazilian variation of European fare like the French “cassoulet” and the Portuguese “caldeirada.” Whatever its origin, feijoada stands as an important symbol of Brazilian heritage.

To add insult to temptation, the recipe for feijoada includes pork chops, pork trotters, pork tails, pork ears, pork sausage and bacon.

Confeitaria Colombo: Vestige of Rio de Janeiro’s belle époque
When visitors step past the Confeitaria Colombo’s threshold, they enter a living time capsule – a remnant of a Rio de Janeiro gone by, one that now seems charming for its opulent optimism. During this “belle époque,” still the nation’s capital and cultural hub, Rio de Janeiro aspired to something that many locals considered far more essential - to become the Paris of the Americas. Downtown Rio was still considered a cool place to chill. And the president of the republic might very well keep a personal tab at the establishment.

Brazil's main sport, without a doubt, FOOTBALL. Or, if you are an American, that would be SOCCER.

They are famous, and well known for, their football team, winning the world cup 4(?) times, and of course, for Pelé, the worlds greatest football player.

I don't even really LIKE football, but its definitely the most famous Brazillian export..... other than Brazil Nuts....

They are also famous, culture wise, for samba dancing.
