Religious/Historical Significance
This Wikipedia page contains a wealth of important information but lacks historical context and religious significance. The purpose of this section will be to explain how the religious backgrounds have contributed to the creation of iconic Brazilian dishes such as aracaje. To elaborate on the impact of Candomble's religion on the dish, I will refer to a secondary source titled “African Diaspora in Brazil: History, Culture and Politics”. This secondary source is reliable because it is from a book written by Dr. Fassil Demissie, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition, I will elaborate on other dishes that were created in response to this particular religion and culture, such as Bolinhos de Jesus. To give the reader a deeper understanding of the time period during which these dishes were created, I intend to include specific dates of when the enslaved individuals arrived in Brazil. I will also provide a more detailed explanation of how rice and beans became so popular in Brazil, utilizing another secondary source entitled “With Grains in Her Hair: Rice in Colonial Brazil”. This secondary source is written by Dr. Judith Carney of UCLA’s geography department. My final edits will summarize the contributions these dishes have made to Brazilian culture and history. You are welcome to comment on my edits and make comments on this talk page. (Halsey10 (talk) 04:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC))

- The article already talks about Brazilian food having influences from all peoples. But we have rules here, such as undue weight in the article (Wikipedia:WEIGHT): Brazilian cuisine is not limited to black people or the Northeast. It has strong European (German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, etc.), Middle Eastern (Lebanese, etc) and Asian (Japanese, Chinese, etc) influences. Also, if you want to talk specifically about history, you would need to create another article. This one is more general, having only a summary of the subject, not going into so much depth.2804:14D:5C87:8E8C:E859:FA09:5173:FAB8 (talk) 09:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
"Feijoada, one of the most traditional dishes of Brazil" photo
I think feijoada should be the top photograph in this article, with the photograph currently second on the page, which clearly depicts black beans. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:34, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Feijoada is widely regarded as the national dish of Brazil. This can be seen from all top google results and informal sources, as well as the information on the Wikipedia page National dish, which provides 2 references.
- More importantly, even if feijoada were not the right dish to display, displaying bife à parmegiana is outright misleading.
- As suggestive evidence, consider the data in google trends. While bife à parmegiana exclusively shows up in the southeast and south regions, feijoada appears in every state. Furthermore, the popularity of feijoada compared to bife à parmegiana is overwhelming in every state.
- The page would be improved by removing the picture of bife à parmegiana and leaving no picture in its place. The choice of feijoada however has considerable evidence for it. Victordamatta (talk) 20:15, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't agree with anything written above. The article already has two pictures of the feijoada, one is in the "brazilian cuisine" box and appears every time someone clicks on a link to this article. Another photo is below of the parmigiana steak. I see no need to remove or relocate the parmigiana steak photo.Information that feijoada is the country's main dish should be placed in the feijoada article, and can be placed next to the feijoada data written in this article, if it is missing. In any case, this fact is well known.2804:214:87E2:DED6:38EB:E9B7:37A3:CA86 (talk) 22:21, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- @2804:214:87E2:DED6:38EB:E9B7:37A3:CA86 feijoada, as the main Brazilian dish, should of course appear first. It is common sense after all
- PedroHMSchneider (talk) 20:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Certainly! It doesn't make any sense to show bife á parmegiana, because bife á parmegiana is NOT a Brazilian dish, despite the name seem being so, I strongly think it must be in Wikipedia:List of Italian Dishes, and not here. 177.105.90.10 (talk) 14:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
