Goiabada
Goiabada (; from ''goiaba'', guava] is a Jam, conserve made of red guavas and sugar, commonly found throughout the Portuguese-speaking countries of the world. It dates back to the colonial times of Brazil, where guavas were used as a substitute for the quinces used to make ''marmelada'' (quince cheese). An abundance of sugar and slave labour were crucial for its confection, in large cauldrons cooking over a slow fire. In rural areas of Brazil, it is still commonly made at home for family use or by home industry outlets (traditional recipes) or as processed food. It is a deep slightly bluish red colour, sometimes a very dark hue of red. Very similar to ''goiabada'' is the closely related Colombian ''bocadillo'', also made from guava but with more sugar. It is known as guava paste or guava cheese throughout the English-speaking Americas, specially the Caribbean, and ''dulce de guayaba'', ''barra de guayaba'', ''pasta de guayaba'', ''bocadillo'' or ''guayabate'' in Spanish-speakin ...

Brazilian Desserts
Brazilian cuisine is the set of cooking practices and traditions of Brazil, and is characterized by European, Amerindian, African, and Asian ( Lebanese, Chinese and, most recently, Japanese) influences. It varies greatly by region, reflecting the country's mix of native and immigrant populations, and its continental size as well. This has created a national cuisine marked by the preservation of regional differences. Ingredients first used by native peoples in Brazil include cashews, cassava, ''guaraná'', '' açaí'', ''cumaru,'' and ''tucupi''. From there, the many waves of immigrants brought some of their typical dishes, replacing missing ingredients with local equivalents. For instance, the European immigrants (primarily from Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, and Ukraine), were accustomed to a wheat-based diet, and introduced wine, leafy vegetables, and dairy products into Brazilian cuisine. When potatoes were not available, they discovered how to use the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bolo De Rolo
Bolo de rolo (English translation: rollcake) is a typical Brazilian dessert, from Pernambuco state. The cake batter is made with flour, eggs, butter and sugar. This dough is wrapped with a layer of guava paste, giving the appearance of a swiss roll with much thinner layers. It is recognized as a national dish in Brazilian law. History Its origin lies in the adaptation of Portuguese cake ''colchão de noiva'' ''(bride's mattress)'', a kind of sponge cake rolled with a filling of nuts. Upon arriving in Brazil, the Portuguese cooks changed the filling to guava fruit, which is plentiful in northeastern Brazil, cooked with sugar, which was abundant since it was made in the factories of the region. Even today it is common to sprinkle the bolo de rolo with sugar in its outer shell, snapping up the presentation of the dessert. Ordinary Law № 379/2007: bolo de rolo was recognized as intangible heritage of Pernambuco. See also * List of Brazilian sweets and desserts Below is a list ...
