The traditional history of Brazilian feijoada is that it was a "luxury" dish of [[Africa]]n [[slavery|slave]]s in Brazilian farms, as it was prepared with relatively cheap ingredients (beans, rice, collard greens, farofa) and leftovers from salted pork and meat production. Over time, it first became a popular dish among lower classes, and finally the "national dish" of Brazil, offered even by the finest restaurants.

However, this history is disputed. Some claim that it was inspired on the French ''[[cassoulet]]'', while others conjecture that it evolved from the bean-and-pork dishes from the regions of [[Estremadura]] eand [[Trás-os-Montes]] in Portugal.
