Hello boys and girls, it's Miss Jasmine! Today we are going to talk more about Chile! Last week we talked about some of the animals and volcanoes that they have there. This week we are going to go more into the people and food!
The Chileans are ethnically a mixture of Europeans and Native Americans! The people of Chile are very independent people they have learned to farm and grow things that can be provided to the people! While it is not very expensive to live in Chile, the happiness of the people is very high.
The people of Chile love to dance, make, and listen to music. Music in Chile ranges from folkloric, popular and classical music.
People of Chile:
Here is a song you can listen to:
What do you think Chileans eat?
Chilean food can range from so many different things! Like many other places, a lot of what they make can be grown from their home! Here are some of the most popular Chilean foods.
Pastel de Choclo: corn casserole with meat stuffing
Empanadas: pastry filled with meat, cheese or mussels
Cazuela: homemade stew with beef, chicken, corn, rice, and potatoes
Asado: barbecue of beef, pork or chicken
Reineta, Congrio, Corvina: the most typical fish
Locos: a rare type of mollusks
Jaiva: shrimp, crab
Centolla: king crab with tender meat of reddish color
Some of the most popular food that they have in Chile is called a Completo-Chilean Hot Dog! Completo in Spanish means complete or total. The ingredients of this hot dog are, mayonnaise, tomatoes, onions, pickles, sauerkraut, and of course a huge hot dog! Many people have tried this hot dog and loved it!
Another food that is quite popular is the Pebre – Chilean Salsa. You will find pebre on any respectable restaurant table. It looks like salsa you would typically find at a Mexican restaurant in the U.S., but it tastes nothing like it.
Pebre is a seasoning made with tomatoes at the base and topped off with chopped onions, chili, chives, garlic, coriander, oil, and vinegar. It is usually served in a little clay dish and has a nice spicy bite. This is usually served with warm bread which is called pan amasado.
Craft: Volcano Tube!
Boys and girls, last week we saw a lot of the volcanos from Chile! I made a craft you can do at home! Here is the video on how you can make it:
We hope you enjoyed learning all about Chile, boys and girls!
