Influências do consumo de comidas de caldo no Piauí

Abstract

In Brazil, the beginning of the Portuguese colonization was marked by the Lusitanian cultural insertion in the new world, customs and habits ranging from religious to culinary were being spread throughout the territory, as a form of colonial domination, also verifying the need to incorporate local techniques and ingredients. The Portuguese colonists fused and adapted their products and cooking methods. The stew consumed during the Brazilian colonization is an emblematic and democratic dish, a symbol of Portuguese identity, and because it was extremely appreciated by the Europeans, particularly the Portuguese who settled in Brazil, the dishes cooked in liquids, poached, stewed, soups and broths have their place on the Brazilian table to this day. This research was developed by means of a qualitative exploratory bibliographical study, through a survey in databases about the Portuguese food influences on broth consumption, using the index terms "piauiense food culture", "piauiense cuisine", "Brazilian gastronomy", "Portuguese gastronomy", and "broth dishes". The bibliographic material obtained sought to answer the question about the Portuguese food practices, indicating that the consumption of broth dishes has its influence on the Portuguese cuisine, such food practices influenced the construction of the national and regional gastronomic identity about broths during preparation and consumption in Brazil and the state of Piaui.
