The comfort food of many Brazilians, "feijão tropeiro" - tropeiro beans - have become one of the
main
typical
Brazilian
dishes, especially in the state of Minas Gerais, my state☺️.
The name comes from the
tropeiros
–
merchants who
sold
horses, mules, and food between the south and southeast regions of Brazil. They fed by mixing
beans,
cassava flour,
sausage, eggs, cracklings, onions and seasoning.
I remember eating it at typical parties, Sunday lunches, restaurants and occasionally it was
served at my
school in Governador Valadares - Minas Gerais, a state that despite not having a beach (an inside
joke among Brazilians)
enchants with the
waterfalls, rivers, history, delicious cuisine and for the kind and welcoming people ❤️. Nothing
more
"mineiro" than a tropeiro bean for
family lunch on Sunday. The flavor of the beans mixed with flour, cabbage and eventually fried
bananas makes my mouth
water
just
thinking
about it! 🤤
