it's a typical food from the northeastern part of Brazil, grandma is from there (I'm far from morrocan, I'm as ashkenazi as one can be lol)

Profile says they’re Brazilian, lots of Sephardim/Arabs in Brazil.

nice to see people learning portuguese. I'm not sepharadi, it's just that Brazilian food in general has some influence from northern africa and the middle east (look up acarajé, it's basically a falafel made by the black community since slavery)
