Aletria
Aletria is a custardy Portuguese dessert based on vermicelli (''aletria''). In the Beiras region aletria has a compact consistency, and is able to be cut in slices, whereas in Minho its consistency is more creamy. Origin Llibre de Sent Soví, a set of two 14th-century manuscripts, in Catalan, contains a compilation of 200 recipes, of which there are two with ''alatria'' (170: ''Qui parla con se cou alatria'' or "how to cook vermicelli" and 171 : ''Qui parla con se cou carn ab alatria'' or "how to cook meat with vermicelli"). However, what they called vermicelli should have a very different shape from the current thin strands of dough. Vermicelli was probably brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors in the 8th or 9th century. It remained in Portugal and incorporated into Portuguese cuisine, and began to designate the mass of very fine yarns, with which a typical Christmas candy, present in almost all regions of the country, is prepared.
