Do not forget that Latin American cuisine is a mixture of traditions and characteristics of many countries, which, although different in some ways, but in the preparation of traditional dishes are similar. Cultures of the countries, their nationalities, and the states themselves are absolute opposites to each other. National cuisines of Cuba and Brazil, Mexico are most similar. It is worth noting that they have much in common due to the union of the traditions of national dishes of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the territory of their countries. These are the representatives of Indian tribes, joined by European colonists – the Spaniards and the Portuguese.
Cubans and Mexicans have the most popular cooking of meat, especially pork and beef. The method is very simple and steeped in tradition – on an open fire. Thanks to this meat is the most delicious, and with the addition of a special sauce made of tomatoes and spices becomes an absolute favorite of the traditional cuisine.
In Brazil, the national cuisine has combined the main features of the cultures of the peoples of South America. But to be different, Brazilians make more variety in their dishes than other peoples of the continent. For example, thanks to this distinction, they became the most popular cuisine in the world. And not without reason, because the traditional Brazilian cuisine is a colorful mosaic of indigenous cultures of Brazil. European traditions brought to the country by colonists, African slaves, as well as Asian settlers have made a subtle contribution.
In the traditional Latin American cuisine beverages are especially revered, with coffee at the top of the list. Exactly Brazilian and Colombian coffee is famous all over the world for its aroma and taste. Alcoholic beverages are a separate niche in the national cuisine. Wine is often used to prepare dishes, marinate meat in it, add it to sauces or confectionery.
Many South American countries use fish and seafood in their diet. Fruits are also worth mentioning; they form the basis for many desserts, drinks, and juices. Vegetables in Latin America are used to prepare salads, which are dressed exclusively with olive oil. It is believed that only it will not spoil the prepared dish.
Latin American cuisine itself is referred to as “fiery” because of the huge amount of spices and spices, seasonings, which are generously added to all dishes cooked according to traditional recipes.
