You probably think that pasta is originally from Italy. But in fact, its origin is still a mystery. Even here, he gained fame thanks to Italian immigrants, who came to live in the southern region of our country, and brought this wonder to us.

In addition, over time, the recipe was adapted to also serve as a dessert. A few years ago, the company Cacau Show brought its own version of the “adapted” pasta for Brazilians. Would you try this “delicacy”?

This gastronomic delight is also another dish that may surprise you. To this day, it is not known which country invented sushi. The only certainty is that it was created in Southeast Asia, over 1000 years ago. And the millennial delicacy has also undergone adaptations over time. In Brazil, for example, it is possible to eat sweet sushi, either with dark or white chocolate, powdered milk, hazelnut cream, dulce de leche and even with confetti — with or without raw fish.

Still in Asian cuisine, the spring roll is a creation that usually meets the taste of many people, as the filling can be changed as you wish, practically. Incidentally, the dish was created for Chinese New Year, which is also known as “Spring Feast”. In Brazil, it is possible to enjoy different flavors, ranging from savory to sweet. Even with more and more variety: dulce de leche, dark chocolate, powdered milk, white chocolate and others.

Without a correct date or place of creation, historians assume that the soup was invented in prehistory. It was a way of softening some ingredients, like meat and chicken, in the heat of the water. Therefore, it originated even before the discovery of fire, thanks to the result of hot water wells in volcanic regions.

In fact, this ancient dish has also undergone adaptations over time. It is possible to enjoy sweet soups, filled with chestnuts, chocolate, strawberries, etc. What’s your favorite version?

Another culinary delicacy of uncertain origin is coxinha. Although many are sure that savory is Brazilian, due to its enormous success across the country, there are historians and chefs who disagree. Incidentally, the renowned cook Laurent Suaudeau guarantees that he is Italian. Anyway, it was another gastronomic invention that gained sweet versions and pleases many Brazilians. As you can see from the photos, only the format is usually the same. However, there are some recipes that mix flour and sweet filling, with strawberry even. So there’s something for everyone.

The favorite of fast-food fanatics, the darling hamburger has an uncertain origin. However, many historians point out that it was in the United States that he was born. In fact, one of the versions of the story is of a customer who asked for a meal to be made quickly. That’s why the owner of the restaurant had the idea of ​​frying a meat and putting it between two buns.

Although the inventor is a mystery, the dish became fashionable all over the world — and it still won not just one, but several sweet versions. In fact, you can order it in different ways, such as stuffed with strawberries, grapes, pineapples, etc. — as well as syrups and other ingredients.

Although the origin is still dubious, two countries “fight” to be responsible for the creation of French fries. France and Belgium have been in this gastronomic battle for a few centuries. Anyway, the dish won the world, and today it can be consumed in several nations. In addition, the fast-food chain Burger King launched, in limited edition, the traditional potato with Ovaltine syrup, which became known as chocofritas. A delight or a quirk?

Another delight that drives Brazilians crazy is lasagna. Four cheeses, bolognese, turkey breast and pepperoni are some of the most desired fillings by people. In fact, the most famous, bolognese sauce, refers to the city of Bologna, Italy — which is one of the possible places where this dish is so consumed in the world. And, to satisfy the desires of candy lovers, a version was also created with chocolate dough, hazelnut filling, pieces of fruit and whatever else it takes — according to the cook — to assemble this culinary wonder.

Another culinary recipe that generates dispute is the hot dog. Between the United States of America and Germany, it is only known that around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century this creation “arrived into the world”. In fact, definitely to the globe, as it is a very admired snack in several countries. Because of this, a sweet version was probably developed. In Brazil, for example, it is possible to eat this delight with strawberry fillings, chocolate, dulce de leche, KitKat and several other tasty ingredients.

Returning to the Asian continent, temaki is a recipe with a defined origin. In fact, it is not only known that it was created in Japan, but even who developed it: the cook Takamasa Nakanori. In addition, as incredible as it may seem, the dish is seen there as fast food by young people — like the hamburger for Brazilians. And, despite the fact that the creation is not even a century old, it is possible to enjoy the delicacy in several places. In addition, it is still possible to taste the sweet versions. For example, filled with white chocolate with pieces of grape.
