Feijoada

For all of you don't know what Feijoada is, it is a great bean and meat soup/stew with historical roots in Brasil going back many years. It is served with couve(collard greens), and rice, and sometimes oranges, and farofa (A common side dish in Brasil, which is a flour made from different types of bread crumbs-wheat, corn or mandioc). If you ever get a chance to get eat some, go for it, it is wonderful. We just had a delicious lunch at the home of one our Portugese professors. Watch out for the pig's skin, ear, and foot. They mighty get you! Nowadays everyone just adds what they like but originally the soup was made of the left over parts of the pig along with black beans. That is all for our history lesson today kids. Hope you enjoyed it!
