Meals around the world

People eat a variety of food at different moments of the day.Each country has its own main meal. Breakfast is usually the most important meal in many countries, but dinner is also the perfect moment to be with family and friends. However,in countries like Russia and Chile, lunch is the main meal of the day.

Meat and potatoes of various styles dominate dinner plates in the USA. Some other good examples are burgers and French fries, fried chicken with mash potatoes or steak with baked potatoes.

-Some countries have a national dish which tourists cannot miss! Brazil's typical dish is Feijoada- a stew made with pork and beef, served with rice. In other countries, there is a mixture of flavors. For example, the food in Jamaica mixes ingredients from Spain, the UK, Africa, India and China.
