Eating a feijoada on Saturdays is a carioca program and, furthermore, Brazilian by nature! With black or mulatto beans, the mixture of various meats, fruit, vegetables and manioc is appreciated and broadcasted in the Brazilian menu since the days of the Portuguese Empire! And the charms involving the antique and traditional dish are as many as the mysteries surrounding its exact appearance.

The delicacy, enjoyed by different tribes, hasn’t, exactly, a place of birth. Some say it’s the legacy of black slaves, who mixed in their regular meal – consisting of beans – the pork’s meat, said less noble, that Portuguese colonists didn’t like. Others believe that the dish would have been of the São Paulo scout and the northeastern cowboys, during the process of country’s internalization, who carried flour, dried meat and beans as a food source because it doesn’t spoil quickly.

Independently of its origin, the fact is that feijoada is an old success and delights through young and relaxed people to some more sophisticated ones, serving from bars’ tables to renowned restaurants; from samba schools courts to famous hotels! Do you feel like watering your mouth? So come with Lime&Tonic to know the Caesar Park feijoada, one of the best and most traditional of the city! { read more }
