in food studies course i had a discipline called recipes' reasons: researching culinary history. as part of our assignments, we were required to give presentations on the history/origins of a dish. i talked about feijoada, brazil's national dish. i approached the origins of the dish not through the origins of each ingredient, but how socio-economical and political context in brazil demanded a creation of a national dish in order to affirm brazil as an independent nation.
