Boston's Food of the Portuguese World | No Passport Required with Marcus Samuelsson | Full Episode

[@amarbaha]

I am from Trinidad and Tobago and we have a great and centuries old Portugese influence in the food and culture. We LOVE our bacalla and fried bread! ANYWHERE in the world I go and I see a Portugese restaurant I know I am going to get a few things: GREAT hearty food, Peri Peri, bacalla and LARGE portions. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY a warm and welcoming environment where you feel like you are eating at someone's house no matter your ethnicity, race or age. I often feel homesick when I travel but whenever I am around Portugese people I feel like I am back home in the Caribbean with their welcoming ways and family values. Obrigado Marcus you are the new global food and cultural ambassador!

As a Brazilian that used to live in Boston from 1996-2016 (most of my life) I had the time of my life living there. The friendship between the extended Portuguese speaker`s family is amazing, very few communities get along so well like they do. I would also like to do a quick shout out to our Angolan cousins who are also becoming such a big part of that community in Boston!!

My cousin’s mom is half Cape Verdean, and I have Azorean ancestors (my mother’s beloved great grandmother was the daughter of Azorean immigrants). I think a lot of people in Massachusetts have a connection to a Portuguese speaking country. I’ve always been surprised that people only talk about how Irish Massachusetts is and never about how Portuguese it is.

Great video, especially at a time when Americans are so divided, it's gratifying to learn that the Portuguese speaking world has used its common language, culture, music and culinary delicacies to bring them together. The only healthy choice we can make is to move forward with hope, respect, gratitude and the diversity that both is and enriches the human experience. The only thing that separates us from our brothers are misguided ideas.

Born and raised in New Bedford, 3rd generation via Madeira and Acores, with NB fishermen in the family. I'm so blessed to grow up thinking this was the norm. Played soccer for the local Portuguese club as a teen...we'd be leaving the club for a game as a few guys carried in a giant tuna right off the boat. After the game, we'd come back to the most amazing tuna fish sandwiches on hot fresh papo secos from the Portuguese bakery across the street, with all the Sumol we could drink, and our shin guards in the goals of the foosball table so we only ever paid for 1 game. And I bet it's still like that today...

Cape Verde certainly has it's unique musical traditions, but it is too bad you left out the music group Tavares that are a family of Cape Verdean brothers that was one of the top 70s groups that put Disco music on the map. Most of these brothers continue to live in and around New Bedford and still perform. Some of their music was featured in the iconic movie Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. Also, would have been nice to have included a bit by Emeril Lagasse who was born and raised in Fall River to an Azorean Portuguese mother and French father. Emeril as a kid learned in addition to being taught Portuguese cooking from his mother worked from bus boy on up at several local Portuguese restaurants. Maybe next time. 😁

It is Portuguese, but it is actually also from the African influence in Brasil.

I'm sorry to say but that Brazilian lady is absolutely mistaken, Feijoada is not from African origin , it originated in northern Portugal , it exists in most countries that were at some point Portuguese colonies but the origin is clear trás-os-montes region in Portugal .

[@kadutomita]

That might be true, but I guess she was actually linking the African-Brazilian influence in our feijoada to the fact that some different cuts that the owners did not eat used to be cooked in the mic by the enslaved population.

[@RorschachPT]

@@kadutomita it is true , and be that as it may , it doesn't make it African as much as pineapple on pizza doesn't make pizza American . pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feijoada

@@RorschachPT, adding pineapple to pizza may turn it into american pizza, instead of italian pizza. Just like adding different cuts of meat might turn the recipe of a feijoada into "feijoada à brasileira" instead of "feijoada à transmontana". It doesn't make the latter an African dish, but the former is definitely an African-Brazilian dish, as it would even need a new designation if it wasn't for the african diaspora contribution.

[@sbrandaocar]

it's a common misconception in Brazil. This is what we're taught, we learn that feijoada is African. Maybe because once in Brazil, the Portuguese stopped eating it themselves and instead the enslaved Africans were the ones primarily eating it. But you're right, feijoada is originally a Portuguese dish.

[@marcusviniciusborgesesilva7629]

Great

[@vitorgomes3829]

Fafa, i am sorry but feifoada was not brouth to Brasil by africans. Maybe it was adapted to an african style of cooking or using/addinf other other ingredients, Feijoada is a traditional, very traditional, portuguese dish.Look for it.

[@rfgfreitas]

How do you say chowder in Portuguese? reply from the Portuguese guys in the documentary chowder. Wrong, a chowder is called a "sopa", de marisco if made from seafood, de ameijoa if made from clams, What they are cooking in Portugal is called a "arroz de marisco", seafood rice, and is served just like that, with plenty of sauce. Other misconception is the Brazilian lady saying that feijoada is originally from Africa. Feijoada is like a bean stew with meats, originally from the region of Trás os Montes in the north of Portugal. It is very popular in portuguese speaking countries that made adaptations of it based on local iingredients: in Brasil for example it only has black beans and is called "feijoada à brasileira", in Cape Verde it has corn and is called cachupa. (PS -later I realized that the gentleman calls a chowder a chora in portuguese. It is a fishermans dish as well, with some similarities with arroz de marisco.From the chora recipes I've seen online, what they prepare looks more like an arroz de marisco than a chora. If someone can explain the difference between the two, please do)

[@mishinha]

I thought the same at first but the guy then mentioned the play with the word "chora" and that maybe that was the word to originate the name chowder as Americans know it. I looked it up and there is indeed a dish called "chora de bacalhau", mainly cooked by sea Portuguese fishermen. Estamos sempre a aprender!

[@rfgfreitas]

@@mishinha Interesting, may be... ,even though the ingredients like shrimp, crab and monk fish are very common in arroz de marisco.

Her feijoada may include African influences, but feijoada is a very traditional Portuguese dish that entered Brasil through the African trade rooutes.

[@lisbondiaries9212]

@@gncl7599 Nope, you are incorrect. Research study I read states it is of African origin. What people eat today for feijoada is the Brazilian/African version. If you lived in Portugal, you would know they feijoada isn’t a common dish in restaurants here, unless the restaurant is a Brazilian or Luso-African one. I have read research in a peer-reviewed journal, citing the origins as African. It is interesting how our people cannot accept that those we unfortunately colonialized and enslaved may have contributed something to our culture. It is like Southern food in the U.S. and its origins in slavery. So, let’s say it was of Portuguese origin…then we need to also claim the fact that it reached Brasil because of slavery and colonialization. By the way, some Arab cultures also have Feijoada. Who knows…they could have even influenced feijoada too via the Moors.

[@SilVia-hs2kb]

Feijoada was NOT brought by the slaves. Most of the slaves brought to Brazil were muslim and would not eaten that dish themselves since it has many different parts of pig in it. This was a dish brought by the Portuguese and ammended in Brazil. In Brazil its made with black beans, and in Portugal its made with white beans, In Brazils version has farofa and its accompanied by rice and in Portugals version has no farofa and it can or cannot be accompanied by rice. In fact many Southern European countries have similar dishes from the french to the italians. Many believe it's a variation of a Roman dish.

That's weird, those migas don't have chick peas, and while I can't absolutely guarantee that there is no such thing, migas are usually made with cowpea, precisely as those shown. I think it should have more cabbage, though. As for chick peas in Portuguese food, first thing that comes to mind is the mandatory Christmas eve dish: boiled codfish, egg, cabbage, carrot, chickpeas. Put it on the plate and pour olive oil and vinegar. I'm sure there other examples, and I definitely eat plenty of chickpeas, but I'm not sure it's in the context of a "portuguese dish". Actually I will share my favourite chickpeas combination: Sautéed with diced chicken, courgette, eggplant, tomato and then made into a burrito. Superb match.

[@josefaria5781]

Portugal wasn't one of the first super powers. Portugal was the first world super power, starting in the XV century! Portugal invented the world wide trade in four continents. even in your own country, Ethiopia, the Portuguese, fight the Ottoman empire and helped the Ethiopian to remain independent, kicking out the muslims, in the XVI century. if we all today drink coffee or put spice on our food, its because of the Portuguese.

The feijoada made in Brazil has more of Africa influence than any other. There's many registers from European travelers and explorers that witnessed the staple food was feijoada and it wasn't made from a stew, it was a ball of bean that was crushed and eaten by the slaves. Bean stew exist in many different countries but the version made in Brazil has an African signature

[@kappa2ou3]

@@lucasalmeida1768 Feijoada has always been a Portuguese dish and will always be a Portuguese dish. Brazilian feijoada was an adaptation made by the Portuguese in Brazil due to the scarcity of white and red beans in Brazil, where black beans began to be used due to their abundance and because they are a product grown in Brazil. African feijoada is exactly the same as Portuguese feijoada but the Cape Verdeans made a small adaptation to feijoada where they added more corn and less beans due to beans being more expensive and most black people did not have access to beans. This introduction of corn into feijoada gave rise to a new dish in Cape Verde called Cachupa. Brazilian feijoada has no African influence but rather a substitution of red beans for black beans , but everything else is the same.

[@lucasalmeida1768]

@@kappa2ou3 this is an eurocentric perspective, absolutely disconsidered in Brazil.

I appreciate your work, but I would have liked to see the Portuguese community in Provincetown, the Portuguese and Cape Verdeans in Brockton... did you know that in Cambridge, until the early 1980's you could be born and die without the need to learn or speak English? 99% of the population of East Cambridge were Portuguese from Azores. From Inman Square to Lechemere and Cambridge Street to Broadway, there were streets with two and three family homes owned and occupied by working class Portuguese who depended on bank loans for the upkeep. In 1982 MIT eyed the area as ideal for its labs and between the banks red-zoning the area and MIT buying out others, there was only one old man holding off by the end of 1980's... houses were demolished and in the middle of now an empty field, where before there was a community with houses, parks and children, one single house was left, waiting for the owner to die. Today you can not recognize the place with high rises, labs, corporations... there were meals being cooked every day in those houses. Poor people's food enhanced with spices and creativity handed back from grandparents, from the home land... You mention the word "culture" but, for the most part, you use it without substance... perhaps you consider filling in what you missed. Go back to 1976 and compare to today. Do you know when MAPS was incorporated there was not a single Brazilian in Cambridge? Do you care to know how and why it was formed? The meetings of the original group had a work agenda accompanied by food... What about the Saint Anthony Church? It used to be the focal point of the community in East Cambridge... best wishes.

It was interesting to see that the Brazilians and Cape Verdians were a bit reluctant to admit the Portuguese influence on their foods.. the cape verdian dude doubting if pork on the cachupa was a Portuguese influence, bro none of the ingredients you use are native to your islands, cassava , pork, corn were all brought by the Portuguese... feijoada is a portuguese dish that was obviously adapted by the slaves and resulted in a Brazilian version of the dish. The codfish with the cream is a portuguese dish called "bacalhau com natas". Don't be afraid to admit that the Portuguese has a massive influence on your foods, even im India, Thailand or Japan you can find dishes brought or inspired by the Portuguese.

Not sure if I agree that our cuisine is a bit more salty than American cuisine. Don't forget that you're tasting Portuguese dishes made by Portuguese people that live in the US. Come taste Portuguese food in Portugal and then let me know what you think about the amount of salt we use here...
