Welcome to a new episode of Tasty Stories. My name is Manuela and I'm here with... Hi guys, me Luisa. And today we're going to talk about Kichuro eating habits with some special guests from different countries. Yes, exactly. What you just heard. Let's welcome Liang from China, Francesco from Italy and Rodolfo from Brazil. Hello guys! It's a pleasure to be here, having this opportunity to talk more about my culture. We're really excited to talk with you guys. So, Liang, can I start asking a question for you? Sure, say it. In which ways we can be related to your culture, like the cultural context and those types of things? First, let's clear some concepts. A food culture is more than what you eat. It's also about how you eat your food and what that food means to you. In my country, you have typical festivals that are related to some special foods. Different foods convening different meaning of almost the eating and indicated the causes of the relation. For example, in China culture, service of expensing are here. Foods usually show respect to the guests. Oh my god, that's so interesting. But can you tell us more about the relation of food and the typical festivals in your country? Of course. Well, for instance, in the spirit festival in China, people eat dumplings to express the relation between Tim's youth and God. Dumplings are one of the most important foods in China's culture. Wow, I never thought that food like this could be related to something so important. Yes, I agree. So, Manu, have you ever tried Chinese food? Never, but I want it so badly. Me too. Ok, so let's keep going with our conversation now with Rodolfo from Brazil. Rodolfo, can you tell us what kind of foods do you eat at typical festivals in your country? Ok. So, Brazil is a country with a lot of food diversity. We have a carnival, festa junina, sundaes barbecues, feijoada, paçoca, bananinha, brigadeiro, coxinha, pão de queijo. And at typical festivals like festa junina that normally happens on June and July, there are some special foods like espetinho de carne, paçoca, pé de moleque, bolo de fubá, bolo de mandioca. The famous festa junina is a catholic tradition that was introduced to Brazil during the country colonization by Portugal. Nice. You know, every time I hear someone talk about Brazilian food, it's always a compliment, something good. And I always wanted to try brigadeiro. Me too, Manu. And now I want to know more about the famous feijoada that is so popular around the whole world. So, why is it so important to your culture? So, feijoada is a stew of beans with beef and pork. The name feijoada is derived from feijão, bean in Portuguese. And it is very traditional in our country because people started eating it during the slavery period when they put all the food together in one pan and cooked it all together so they wouldn't die of hunger. Oh my God! I never imagined that food could have a meaning like this. But let's continue our conversation with the last guest from Italy. So, Henrique, which Italian food is your favorite? I personally love all of them. Ok. So, Italy is most known because of pasta. There are a lot of good foods, but we usually eat a lot of them during the day. But my favorite that's going to hit far. I love spaghetti al schietano and pasta al pesto. I think those are my favorites. Have you ever tried either of them? I've tried both and I personally super agree with your opinion. I love both equally. It's a very popular food. Thank you. It has a very good taste. Ok. So, thank you for sharing your favorite. And guys, here's a tip. Spaghetti alla puttanesca and pasta al pesto are both delicious. Ok. So, now we have the final question of our podcast. To close with a golden key. What do you eat in a normal day? Such breakfast, lunch and dinner, etc. I just want to make something clear. Not all Italians eat the same foods as me. Ok. After waking up, breakfast usually starts with something sweet like a croissant. It's mostly a French food, but we eat a lot here in Italy. And with the croissant, we eat some fruits. For lunch, I usually eat pasta and another fruit. And for dinner, on Sundays, we normally eat pizza or pasta again. Thank you so much. Thank you again, Eliane, Gleo and Ricky for being here and explaining your food eating habits, cultural eating habits. Ok. Thank you. Ok. Thank you guys. Thank you for listening. Bye.
