Paraguay

The landlocked Republic of Paraguay is a neighbor of the South American countries of Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina. It is the location of the Itaipu Dam, which is the world's largest hydroelectric power plant. Typical questions relate to the country's atypical respect for local cultures and native languages; land buy-ups by overseas investors; and politico-economic record as a fledgling constitutional presidential republic.

What are the staple foods in Paraguay?

Paraguay is a cattle-ranching country, so beef is the no. 1 food item, though chicken & pork are also widely available. Sausages are a common appetizer, while the most usual side dish is yuca, a fibrous root vegetable. Paraguay is very hot for most of the year, and food is frequently prepared & eaten outdoors in a quincho, which is a covered area with a large built-in grill and a table with chairs or benches. Sopa paraguaya (literally translated means "paraguayan soup"), is actually a kind of moist cornbread mixed with queso fresco(unaged soft cheese). This, and other dishes, are usually prepared in a dome-shaped mud oven called a tataqua (a GuaraniIndian word). Tropical fruits are everywhere; most people have at least one fruit tree in the yard. Pineapples, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bananas, mangos, papayas and avocados are everywhere. The small Paraguayan pineapples are unquestionably the best I have every eaten, and the avocados (which Paraguayans actually don't eat) would put the U.S. varieties to shame. Paraguayn is landlocked, so you won't find much seafood, but freshwater fish is available & is very good. Many people in Paraguay are of Italian and/or German descent, so those cuisines are popular. However, Paraguayans do not like spicy food, so visitors will find the food rather bland, but often salty. In Asuncion, you will find restaurants featuring continental fare. Spanish cuisine is popular, and a very large paella is often the feature dish at a party. There are also Chinese restaurants.

Does coffee grow in Paraguay?

Yes,

Coffee plays an essential part in the history of Brazil. The plant, originally from Ethiopia, was first brought to the country Brazil by French settlers who established themselves in the state of Pará in the early 18th century. Thriving in the ideal conditions provided by the climate, the coffee fields spread from the North of Brazil along the country, concentrating in the areas along the shore. During this period, sugar plantations represented the primacy economic activity in the country and coffee was merely a luxury. Nobody could have imagined at the time that it would become the major player in Brazil's vibrant history of even greater importance than New Orlean's Sugar rush or the Irish potato famine.

However, by 1820, coffee represented the most exported product from Brazil, after the sugar cane started to lose importance in the international markets. The production peaked when the coffee plantations gained the fertile soils of Vale do Paraíba - a region that makes up part of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states.
