    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!

    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.

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.

    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. 😁

    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)

    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

    @@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.

    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.

    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.

    i have been watching No Passport Required for about 2 or 3 months & i've absolutely fallen in love with the show! The Host ~ Chef Samuelsson is amazing, warm, inviting, engaged & the teachable glue for this perfect endeavor. He continues to draw one culture after another into the personal spaces of our country/ world. This program is uniting the un~United States of America! The program brings a warmth (thru food), to the palpable chill of ADULT ~ childish & ignorant behavior/ competition that i never knew existed here before. i pray that PBS & other efforts like this program serves to melt the chill & childish ignorance away before this country errodes into communism😢🫂🥰

    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.

    Her feijoada may include African influences, but feijoada is a very traditional Portuguese dish that entered Brasil through the African trade rooutes. Feijoada in Portugal is mostly associated with rural culture, and therefore the arriviste culture frowns upon hearty fare for the "peasants", Feijoada and bean dishes ,in general, are associated with poverty, even now..

    @@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.

    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.

    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.
