The origins of Coxinha The origins of coxinha started in Brazil about 150 years ago. Count Edu was a child who lived in seclusion for having mental problems.

His favourite dish was the chicken thigh. One day, his cook didn’t have thigh, and took other parts of the chicken, and made a croquette that looked like a thigh. The child liked it!

One day, Empress Teresa Cristina, visited him. She tasted and she liked it so much, so she asked how to prepare the dish. So coxinha became nobility’s popular dish.

My favourite food is hummus. The Arabians made the first hummus. The name hummus comes from the Arabian word that means “chickpea”.

They used chickpea, sesame, yogurt, lemon, oil, garlic, cayenne pepper.

But someone put basil and more oil. You have to grind, and when you finish doing the dish, you eat with a pancake.

Nowadays hummus isn’t a very popular dish around the world.
