The Ultimate Fiesta !
By Swift & Hemberg
Location
• Mexico is located in South America below America and has a land size of 2 million square kilometers
• Mexico is surrounded by the Gulf Of Mexico but is a very dry country as it is within a desert.
• Mexico is located below the border of the United States Of America.
Climate
• Mexico’s climate is rather dry.
• It is located in desert plains and the temperatures often get to 40 degrees Celsius.
• The due reason for the high temperatures is due to the equator being close to Mexico.
Population
• Mexico has a population of 112 million people.
• Mexico is rather dry therefore the capital cities compensate for a large percentage of the population.
• Mexico City is Mexico's capital city with a population of 19 million people.
Culture
• Culture in Mexico revolves around family.
• All social events are involving family and often large town gatherings occur with feasts shared among other families.
• There is a strict etiquette when other families ‘Meet & Greet’ with the woman patting each other on the shoulder and men shaking hands.
Family Life
• In Mexico, the father is given authority over his family.
• He makes all decisions whether it be foods eaten and or how the money is spent and what is bought.
• Father is always head of the table and can stop and start conversation at any time he pleases.
Exports
• Coffee is the main export out of Mexico.
• Fruits and vegetables also head the list of most common exports.
• Tequila is also a large export out of Mexico. This export entertains the drinking background of Mexico.
Nutritional Value
• The nutritional value of Mexican food is rather high.
• Plenty of proteins and meats are eaten which boosts muscle growth.
• Often vegetables are eaten throughout the dishes, with chilli being a main component of the feasts. As chilli clears out the nose, and flushes the body clean, this is a major positive of eating Mexican.
Foods• In Mexico, all foods are commonly of
spicy origin as this is Mexico’s trademark.
• Often a large amount of meat and vegetables are consumed in each dish which is quite healthy for the diet.
• Some dishes though are rather high in fats and sugars which may deter the common human.
• Chilli and spices are always used in each dish, which makes each dish rather spicy and hot on the taste buds.
