Culture of Brazil


 Brazilian culture is a synthesis of the influence of the various peoples and ethnicities that formed the Brazilian people. There is no Brazilian culture perfectly homogeneous, but rather a mosaic of different cultural strands that form together the culture of Brazil. Naturally, after more than three centuries of Portuguese colonization, the culture of Brazil is mostly from root Lusitanian. It is precisely this cultural heritage lusa that compose the unit of Brazil: Brazilian people despite being an ethnic mosaic, all speak the same language (Portuguese) and almost all are Christians, with a large predominance of Catholics. This linguistic and religious equality is a rare occurrence for a country of great size like Brazil, especially in comparison with the countries of the Old World.
 Although it is a country of Portuguese colonization, other ethnic groups have left profound influences on national culture, especially indigenous peoples, Africans, Italians and Germans.

Brazilian Cookery

 In Brazil, the regional foods vary widely from state to state, precisely because of its large size and its colonization, which gives a huge variety of ingredients and flavors.
This diversity is directly linked to the origin of the population living in each state.
For example, the cuisine of the region of Salvador and Reconcavo Baiano is heavily influenced by African flavors, but also by the Portuguese and indigenous.
 Eating habits vary from region to region according to the story, both unaware that it is normal to the delicacies from other regions. Thus, on the coast of the Northeast's large African influence in cooking, especially acarajé, vatapd and pepper sauce; North Indian influence is greater, the use of cassava and fish; Southeast's various dishes such as beans drover and angu connected to Girl Scouts, in Minas Gerais, and pizza in São Paulo, the influence of immigrants, and in the south there is a strong Italian influence, in dishes such as polenta and also of German cuisine. The bbq is typical of Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul.
