About Germany
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic of sixteen states. The capital is the city of Berlin. The country is a member of the United Nations. It is a great power with the fourth largest economy by nominal GDP and the fifth largest in purchasing power parity. It is the second largest exporter and second largest importer of goods. The country has developed a high standard of living and established a comprehensive system of social security. Germany occupies a key position in European affairs and maintains a series of close partnerships on a global level. The country is also recognized as a leader in science and technology in various fields.
Much of Germany has a temperate climate in which humid western winds prevail. The climate is moderated by North Atlantic Current, which is the northern extension of the Gulf Stream.
The German cuisine varies from region to region. The southern regions of Bavaria and Swabia, for example, share a culinary culture with Switzerland and Austria. The pork, beef and poultry are the main varieties of meat consumed in Germany, with pork being the most popular. In all regions, meat is often eaten in sausage form. Over 1500 types of sausage are produced in Germany. A German proverb has the meaning: "I have breakfast each morning like an emperor, lunch like a king, and dine like a beggar." The breakfast each morning is usually a selection of breads and rolls with honey or jam and cold meats and cheese, sometimes accompanied by a poached egg. Cereal or granola with milk or yoghurt, is less common but widespread. More than 300 types of bread are sold in the bakery across the country. As a country with many immigrants, Germany has adopted many international dishes in its kitchen and daily eating habits. Italian dishes like pizza and pasta, Turks and Arabs, like Döner Kebab and Falafel are well established, especially in big cities. International chains of hamburger restaurants as well as Chinese and Greeks, are common. German restaurants have become the second most recognized in the world after the restaurants of France. Although wine is becoming more popular in many parts of Germany, the national alcoholic beverage is beer. German beer consumption per person is declining but, at 116 liters per year, it is still among the highest in the world. Among 18 surveyed western countries, Germany was ranked in 14th position in the list of per capita consumption of soft drinks in general, while the country ranks third in consumption of fruit juices. In addition, mineral water and Schorle (this mixed with fruit juice) are very popular in Germany.

ITALIAN CUISINE

The italian cuisine known today is a result of evolution of centuries of social and political changes. It roots lie in the fourth century in the Middle Ages and show the influence of the arabs and Normans, who led the early chefs notable for the region of Italy. These influences have helped shape what is today known as Italian cuisine, adding items such as: potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and corn.

VIII century in most of Italy was ruled by France, Spain and Austria. Was the beginning of that century Italian cookbooks began to be written and distributed, so that the chefs scattered throughout the regions of Italy could show their pride in country.

Italian cuisine has several characteristics specific, known worldwide. However, inside the Italy, the cuisine is not only regional, as well seasonal. Regions have different features that differentiate them from each other. Use different ingredients, recipes and even the mode of preparation.

In Italy meals could be up to five dishes, with three more after finishing a meal. The meals lasting hours, and day of festivities, could last through the day. Today, this tradition is used only on special holidays, and even then, not so exaggerated.

Italian cuisine we know today is not really Italian.  The cuisine of each region of Italy is quite different from other, then there isn’t a cuisine fit for the whole country, in this case, it is customary to say that Italian cuisine is global, since each country can add special touch to the recipe if you wish and serve a good Italian dish.

History of Portugal

Officially the Portuguese Republic, is a country located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal is the westernmost country of Europe, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are part of Portugal.

The land within the borders of today's Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since prehistoric times. In 29 B.C. the territory was occupied by the Gallaeci and the Lusitanians when it was integrated in the Roman Empire as the provinces of Lusitania and part of Gallaecia. Roman settlers strongly influenced Portuguese culture, particularly the Portuguese language, mostly derived from Latin. In the 5th century, after the fall of the Roman empire, it was occupied by several Germanic peoples, mainly the Suevi and the Visigoths. In the early 8th century Muslim Moors conquered those Christian kingdoms, occupying most of the Iberian Peninsula.

During the Christian Reconquista (English: Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula), the County of Portugal was settled, as part of the Kingdom of Galicia. With the establishment of the Kingdom in 1139, recognized in 1143, and the stabilization of its borders by 1249, Portugal claims to be the oldest European nation-state.^[9]

In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of maritime exploration, Portugal established a global empire that included possessions in Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America, becoming one of the world's major economic, political and military powers. Portugal's Empire was the first, and most long-lived Global Empire in the world, spanning almost six centuries ( 1415 - 1999 ). In 1580, after a succession crisis it was united with Spain for a period called the Iberian Union; however in 1640 it re-established full independence during the Portuguese Restoration War that resulted in the establishment of a new dynasty and a return to the previous separation between the two empires.

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, Spanish and French invasions, and Brazilian independence, resulted in both the disruption of political stability and economic growth and the reduction of Portugal's international status as a global power during the 19th century. After the overthrow of the monarchy in 1910, a democratic but unstable republic was established that was then replaced by the "Estado Novo" dictatorship. After the Portuguese Colonial War and the Carnation Revolution in 1974, democracy was restored and the country handed over its last overseas provinces (most prominently Angola and Mozambique in Africa); the last overseas territory, Macau, was handed over to China in 1999.

Portugal is a developed country^[13] with an advanced and high-income economy, with a very high Human Development Index and it has the world's 19th-highest quality-of-life, according to The Economist Intelligence Unit. It is the 13th-most peaceful and the 8th-most globalized country in the world. It is a member of the European Union, (joined the then EEC in 1986, leaving the EFTA where it was a founding member in 1960), and the United Nations; as well as a founding member of the Latin Union, the Organization of Ibero-American States, OECD, NATO, Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the European Union's Eurozone, and also part of the Schengen Area.

England is in north-west Europe and is in the southern part of Great Britain. It is an island country and also part of the United Kingdom (UK) .

England is the largest country in Great Britain and the UK. It is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain, or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK.

Nearly 84% of the population of the UK lives in England, mainly in the major cities and metropolitan areas.

England has not had a separate political identity since 1707, when Great Britain was established as a political entity. There is no government or parliament just for England.

England is only 35 km from France and is now linked by a tunnel under the English Channel.

The south of England is mostly low-lying land, with hills and agricultural land and the north of England is mostly covered in moorland and mountains.
