The Country that I have picked to research on is a European country called Spain. Spain is located in Europe. It is below France, next to Portugal and on top of Morocco.

 

As you can see Spain is mostly surrounded by water. It has the Mediterranean Sea just below it.

The capital City of Spain is Madrid, it is right in the centre of Spain. On the map you can also see Spain broken up into different areas. These areas are different regions of Spain. The one I’m going to be focusing on is Catalunya. These different Regions have different ways of cooking food, for example some one in Analucia might make Paella (A rice dish) slightly different to a person that makes it in Catalunya. That’s why it’s so important to tell the eater what region of Spain the dish has came from because there is probably about 15 more ways of making that dish the traditional Spanish way.

Spanish Staple foods

In Spain there is a lot of variety of foods that they eat, but the most common foods that are eaten Breads, tomatoes, meat, fish, olive oil, legumes, chicken, milk and Eggs. The Spanish also like there Champagne. Spanish like to soak bread will oil and place slices of tomatoes on the bread. Tapas are also a food that the Spanish eat a lot. Tapas are finger foods that are in bars to keep the customers happy, the foods range from pieces of bread to slices of meat. Jamón is Spanish for meat which is very popular also. All these foods are staple food because they grow well in the Spanish climate and also because there is huge amounts of that food in Spain (Seafood, olives and olive oil). Spanish eat a lot of food in one day, they have heaps of meals but that’s how they keep themselves health by having small amount of food every so often. Joined together by the exercise they do, e.g. work, sport, and leisure. Most live happy and healthy lives. For Spanish people food is very important, e.g.  all family members come home from work and school to have lunch and to have a nap. This also would bring the family close together.

This report is very interesting to read. The writer clearly has researched the various food types available and demonstrates a clear awareness of cultural variations within dishes. To improve this report in more variety about daily menus, including comparisons to other countries and not just Australia, would be helpful. ****
