When talking about Brazilian food, preparations such as cheese bread, barbecue and acarajé immediately come to mind, right? However, there are some Brazilian dishes that are commonly associated with other cultures, even though they were created here. Check out some of them below:
The bread so famous in our country was inspired by the French baguette. So, despite having the term “French” in the name, this bread, which many also know as salt bread or bread cacetinho, was born on Brazilian soil during the beginning of the 20th century and is part of the daily lives of millions of Brazilians until today.
Just like French bread, Italian straw is inspired by a preparation from Italy, chocolate salami, which is made with biscuits, red wine and chocolate. However, the Italian straw as we consume it here is a very Brazilian sweet, made with brigadeiro, which is also typical of our country.
This is yet another adaptation of an Italian recipe, ragu, which is a type of traditional sauce in Italy and has cooked meats and wine in its composition. However, the Brazilian version was made by combining ground beef with tomato sauce and is one of the most used sauces in pasta around here.
The origin of pastel is attributed to Asian immigrants who traded in small street fairs in the ports of Santos during the 1940s. There are those who say that gyoza and spring rolls, of oriental origin, were the inspiration for the creation of our pastry.
Beirut is associated with the Lebanese culture, but despite having Syrian bread in its composition, it is a typical Brazilian snack. The creation was made in São Paulo, in the 50's, by two brothers of Lebanese descent.
The shrimp moqueca has an Afro-Brazilian origin and is a very popular dish, especially in the Northeast of the country. Thus, there are variations in the recipe depending on the state, but the Bahia version is the most famous.
