Brazil is a diverse nation. First, there were the indigenous people. Then the Portuguese came and brought slaves from different African countries. Later in time, the Portuguese royalty went to live in the colony, escaping from Napoleonic invasions in Europe.
Feijoada has many similar dishes around the world. Cassoulet (France) and Feijoada Trasmontana (Portugal) are two of them. From an inaccurate story that the dish was made by slaves to feed themselves, today historians say that probably Brazilian feijoada was born in Rio de Janeiro. Made by slaves, as an adaptation, using black beans and other accessible ingredients, to serve the elite. Between popular side dishes of this delicious black beans and pork, meat stew is white rice, collard greens, fresh oranges and farofa (made of an indigenous ingredient, one of the dozens of byproducts of cassava). All of this is washed down with a very good and refreshing drink made with cachaça.
