Boston's Food of the Portuguese World | No Passport Required with Marcus Samuelsson | Full Episode 

As a Portuguese living in Porto, I had no idea about this community! The plates presented are trully 100% Portuguese, much respect! Obrigado por nos representarem tão bem

I am from Trinidad and Tobago and we have a great and centuries old Portugese influence in the food and culture. We LOVE our bacalla and fried bread! ANYWHERE in the world I go and I see a Portugese restaurant I know I am going to get a few things: GREAT hearty food, Peri Peri, bacalla and LARGE portions. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY a warm and welcoming environment where you feel like you are eating at someone's house no matter your ethnicity, race or age. I often feel homesick when I travel but whenever I am around Portugese people I feel like I am back home in the Caribbean with their welcoming ways and family values. Obrigado Marcus you are the new global food and cultural ambassador!

As a Brazilian that used to live in Boston from 1996-2016 (most of my life) I had the time of my life living there. The friendship between the extended Portuguese speaker`s family is amazing, very few communities get along so well like they do. I would also like to do a quick shout out to our Angolan cousins who are also becoming such a big part of that community in Boston!!

Marcus Samuelsson has not only shown us the food but the background of the people. So so fastinating.❤❤❤😊😊😊

My cousin’s mom is half Cape Verdean, and I have Azorean ancestors (my mother’s beloved great grandmother was the daughter of Azorean immigrants). I think a lot of people in Massachusetts have a connection to a Portuguese speaking country. I’ve always been surprised that people only talk about how Irish Massachusetts is and never about how Portuguese it is.

As a South African of Portuguese decent, I understand. Proud to be both.

A lusofonia tem estas preciosidades, cultura, língua, cozinha. Um forte abraço de Portugal 🇵🇹 a todos os intervenientes.

I LOVE THIS SHOW we need MORE!!!!!

Thank you Chef Samuelsson and PBS for yet another wonderful culinary and cultural adventure! This series is absolutely fabulous and well put together! Please keep these coming for as long as Chef Samuelsson can! I would love to see a showcase on my home state of North Carolina! That would be great! Be well, Cheers!

Great video, especially at a time when Americans are so divided, it's gratifying to learn that the Portuguese speaking world has used its common language, culture, music and culinary delicacies to bring them together. The only healthy choice we can make is to move forward with hope, respect, gratitude and the diversity that both is and enriches the human experience. The only thing that separates us from our brothers are misguided ideas.

I’ve been to all the Brazilian restaurants featured here, and can 100% confirm they’re amazing! Def need to try Cape Verdean food next time I’m in Boston. What a city.

I just discovered this series in the last 2 weeks and am OBSESSED. I had no idea these rich, vibrant communities existed. Makes me want to travel the country ♥️

Loved this episode, beautiful cultures, beautiful people 🇵🇹🇨🇻🇧🇷

I grew up in Scituate MA with Portuguese families. The Folks I new were Farmers and Property care takers. I would ride my bike to purchase fresh Corn for my Mum to go with dinner👍. The Naune would ask me to the back to let me taste what smelled so good! Thanks, PBS and Marcus🌞. JO JO IN VT 💞

Fafa, i am sorry but feifoada was not brouth to Brasil by africans. Maybe it was adapted to an african style of cooking or using/addinf other other ingredients, Feijoada is a traditional, very traditional, portuguese dish.Look for it.

Lusophone foods are so underrated.And Outside of their home countries, Boston is The place to try them.

Cape Verde certainly has it's unique musical traditions, but it is too bad you left out the music group Tavares that are a family of Cape Verdean brothers that was one of the top 70s groups that put Disco music on the map. Most of these brothers continue to live in and around New Bedford and still perform. Some of their music was featured in the iconic movie Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. Also, would have been nice to have included a bit by Emeril Lagasse who was born and raised in Fall River to an Azorean Portuguese mother and French father. Emeril as a kid learned in addition to being taught Portuguese cooking from his mother worked from bus boy on up at several local Portuguese restaurants. Maybe next time. 😁

had a Portuguese neighbor that lived across the street from me that dried Bacalhau in the garage. The whole street smelled it lol

I'm sorry to say but that Brazilian lady is absolutely mistaken, Feijoada is not from African origin , it originated in northern Portugal , it exists in most countries that were at some point Portuguese colonies but the origin is clear trás-os-montes region in Portugal .

Dont ever ask a portuguese if he uses Italian olive oil ahah

what an absolutely lovely guy. And don't forget, he is massively talented and has great Style. One of the greatest chefs in the world and look how relaxed and engaging he is with his guests.

The Iron Bound section of Newark NJ is also a great Portuguese enclave worth exploring.

I remember when we first started vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard and the surprise that every breakfast joint had linguica on the menu. The never ending quest for cod.

What an incredible culture!! Lebanese here with so many relatives that live in Brazil!! This is very rich and interesting!

This is fast becoming my favorite show

Well he said it from the beginning Portugal was a powerhouse and trading foods and spice all over the world and it's true that we are a small country but whenever we came to trading and import exporting Good foods and spice and whatever you could exchange Portugal was the first ones to navigated all over the oceans

I’m obsessed with this show!

Thanku Markus,u have this amazing passion,and Thanku for all the culture,I'm from South Africa,much appreciated

I look forward to this show every Sunday

I am marathoning through your videos and enjoyed a lot with this Brazilian and Portuguese episode. Due this channel I am knowing lots of different food here in USA

Feijoada was NOT brought by the slaves. Most of the slaves brought to Brazil were muslim and would not eaten that dish themselves since it has many different parts of pig in it. This was a dish brought by the Portuguese and ammended in Brazil. In Brazil its made with black beans, and in Portugal its made with white beans, In Brazils version has farofa and its accompanied by rice and in Portugals version has no farofa and it can or cannot be accompanied by rice. In fact many Southern European countries have similar dishes from the french to the italians. Many believe it's a variation of a Roman dish.

How do you say chowder in Portuguese? reply from the Portuguese guys in the documentary chowder. Wrong, a chowder is called a "sopa", de marisco if made from seafood, de ameijoa if made from clams, What they are cooking in Portugal is called a "arroz de marisco", seafood rice, and is served just like that, with plenty of sauce. Other misconception is the Brazilian lady saying that feijoada is originally from Africa. Feijoada is like a bean stew with meats, originally from the region of Trás os Montes in the north of Portugal. It is very popular in portuguese speaking countries that made adaptations of it based on local iingredients: in Brasil for example it only has black beans and is called "feijoada à brasileira", in Cape Verde it has corn and is called cachupa. (PS -later I realized that the gentleman calls a chowder a chora in portuguese. It is a fishermans dish as well, with some similarities with arroz de marisco.From the chora recipes I've seen online, what they prepare looks more like an arroz de marisco than a chora. If someone can explain the difference between the two, please do)

Being from Boston, I am biased, but I love to see this covered. Boston is amazing.

I ❤️ Boston. My hometown

We love these....love Portugal love Brazil....amazing language amazing culture....do more of these....Mongolia maybe...? Albania....?

My people! Thank you! 🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻

Awesome video! Just one thing that I noticed which was wrong. Feijoada does not come from Africa. Feijoada is Portuguese influence.

Thanks for another great episode Marcus... looking forward to the next one

Orgulho na nossa cultura 🇵🇹 SPORTING CLUBE DE PORTUGAL ! ✊🏼

We should also give a shout-out to the R&B Group Tavares as Cape Verdeans!

Yess thank you for acknowledging our beautiful country and food of Cabo Verde 🫶🇨🇻🇨🇻

Her feijoada may include African influences, but feijoada is a very traditional Portuguese dish that entered Brasil through the African trade rooutes. Feijoada in Portugal is mostly associated with rural culture, and therefore the arriviste culture frowns upon hearty fare for the "peasants", Feijoada and bean dishes ,in general, are associated with poverty, even now..

It was interesting to see that the Brazilians and Cape Verdians were a bit reluctant to admit the Portuguese influence on their foods.. the cape verdian dude doubting if pork on the cachupa was a Portuguese influence, bro none of the ingredients you use are native to your islands, cassava , pork, corn were all brought by the Portuguese... feijoada is a portuguese dish that was obviously adapted by the slaves and resulted in a Brazilian version of the dish. The codfish with the cream is a portuguese dish called "bacalhau com natas". Don't be afraid to admit that the Portuguese has a massive influence on your foods, even im India, Thailand or Japan you can find dishes brought or inspired by the Portuguese.

I enjoy it , living I the USA but was born in Trinidad 🇹🇹

Delicious cuisines from the local restaurant there 🍕

mycket intressant och tilldragande serier. tack! 🌌

Cape Verde 🇨🇻 Cesaría’s is bomb

i have been watching No Passport Required for about 2 or 3 months & i've absolutely fallen in love with the show! The Host ~ Chef Samuelsson is amazing, warm, inviting, engaged & the teachable glue for this perfect endeavor. He continues to draw one culture after another into the personal spaces of our country/ world. This program is uniting the un~United States of America! The program brings a warmth (thru food), to the palpable chill of ADULT ~ childish & ignorant behavior/ competition that i never knew existed here before. i pray that PBS & other efforts like this program serves to melt the chill & childish ignorance away before this country errodes into communism😢🫂🥰

TY PBS for show casing Portugal , it's foid, culture and the lusophone countries that were created thru Portugal.

The chowder, isn't that a caldeirada? Even though the daldeirada is usually with potatoes.

Que maravilhosa reportagem , obrigado.

I appreciate your work, but I would have liked to see the Portuguese community in Provincetown, the Portuguese and Cape Verdeans in Brockton... did you know that in Cambridge, until the early 1980's you could be born and die without the need to learn or speak English? 99% of the population of East Cambridge were Portuguese from Azores. From Inman Square to Lechemere and Cambridge Street to Broadway, there were streets with two and three family homes owned and occupied by working class Portuguese who depended on bank loans for the upkeep. In 1982 MIT eyed the area as ideal for its labs and between the banks red-zoning the area and MIT buying out others, there was only one old man holding off by the end of 1980's... houses were demolished and in the middle of now an empty field, where before there was a community with houses, parks and children, one single house was left, waiting for the owner to die. Today you can not recognize the place with high rises, labs, corporations... there were meals being cooked every day in those houses. Poor people's food enhanced with spices and creativity handed back from grandparents, from the home land... You mention the word "culture" but, for the most part, you use it without substance... perhaps you consider filling in what you missed. Go back to 1976 and compare to today. Do you know when MAPS was incorporated there was not a single Brazilian in Cambridge? Do you care to know how and why it was formed? The meetings of the original group had a work agenda accompanied by food... What about the Saint Anthony Church? It used to be the focal point of the community in East Cambridge... best wishes.

Your video is almost a report about portuguese, and portuguese influence in the kitchen, but there is only a correction that I can make, and that is: the food you taste in a familiar environment, you can have it in all traditional restaurants. It'a a question of looking anf finding the ones that can fit your appetite. By the way, what a marvelous and welcoming portuguese community. What a nice and gentle people. Of course, they only clould be PORTUGUESE.

I love this show wied M.S.Blessing❤

Beautiful! Thank you, Chef Marcus

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this . This made me cry this morning😢

Feijoada is a mix of african and portuguese. It was made by slaves but based on a portuguese dish.

That's weird, those migas don't have chick peas, and while I can't absolutely guarantee that there is no such thing, migas are usually made with cowpea, precisely as those shown. I think it should have more cabbage, though. As for chick peas in Portuguese food, first thing that comes to mind is the mandatory Christmas eve dish: boiled codfish, egg, cabbage, carrot, chickpeas. Put it on the plate and pour olive oil and vinegar. I'm sure there other examples, and I definitely eat plenty of chickpeas, but I'm not sure it's in the context of a "portuguese dish". Actually I will share my favourite chickpeas combination: Sautéed with diced chicken, courgette, eggplant, tomato and then made into a burrito. Superb match.

America is such a great country built by the people from all corners of the world

grandparent food is important. if it wasn't for my grandma if would have never known how delicious liver could be. Almost never had it with my parents.

Great

So this is cultural apropriation? Pretending that a totaly portugueses bacalhau com natas, is a C Verdian dish?

As a Lisa Americana who grew up in New England I would love to delve deeper into this topic

Cool video. Good vibes.

woo hoo awesome segment. Viva Portugal

Ótima Reportagem!

Marcus. The best.

bravo

Chowder translation to portuguese is "caldo" or "sopa". Caldo is more like a watery soup or it can mean broth/stock. Never heard of chara.

wow, no i want to go to bostonn again , visited the itlain and irish. Do a brookly/queensn episode

O melhor estado do Brasil é o Ceará 😊

a few weeks in Portugal with fresh products picked on the day and cooked...

Show de bola...! Legal

Well done, Marcus!

Portugal wasn't one of the first super powers. Portugal was the first world super power, starting in the XV century! Portugal invented the world wide trade in four continents. even in your own country, Ethiopia, the Portuguese, fight the Ottoman empire and helped the Ethiopian to remain independent, kicking out the muslims, in the XVI century. if we all today drink coffee or put spice on our food, its because of the Portuguese.

Nice. I enjoyed this!

this was really good

Love this episode. You should consider add portuguese subtitles since it's all about the luso community.

heavy portugese community here and in ri too.....

My kind of jam, culinary, history and hospitality. What the west can learn from immigrants is hospitality.

great job when are you going live one day

What up cuz! @shauna (I’m assuming we are cousins somewhere in the line) lol my dad is from brava

It would be complete when there were Goan, Sri Lankan, Macanese and Timorese examples.

Very nice video!

Chowder in português is CALDEIRADA ou sopa de marisco, nothing like they said...

Eu sou brasileiro im brazilian feijoada is from frence

Tapioca is popular in Portugal dor at least q50 pr 200 years.

Not sure if I agree that our cuisine is a bit more salty than American cuisine. Don't forget that you're tasting Portuguese dishes made by Portuguese people that live in the US. Come taste Portuguese food in Portugal and then let me know what you think about the amount of salt we use here...

Min 8:09 "Azores is a group of nine islands", and then you put a map of 7 islands 🤦‍♂

Nice vídeo ❤🇵🇹

Love these episodes ❤

the best of the beast is cachupa eu sou portugues de mocambique

Cool video but feijoada is a Portuguese dish and wasn’t created by slaves 🙃

What a surprise. Had no idea there was such a robust Portuguese community in the East Coast, and in MA of all places.

PORTUGAL CARALHOO

Portuguese did supply lard and they largest salve traders

Isn't chowder = to caldo/sopa de peixe ?????? please correct me if im wrong

Feijoada comes from Portugal not from África.
