DOCE DE BATATA-DOCE E QUEBRA-QUEIXO: MEMÓRIAS DOS DOCES DE TABULEIRO

Abstract

Over time, our taste preferences change, through new experiences with flavors and changes in eating behavior, we discover new tastes that generate a different and unique taste in each individual. As important as knowledge about the act of eating and specific practices beyond the nutritional aspect, is the preservation and appreciation of our roots and culture in our social environment. The history of food serves as a parameter of knowledge of where we come from and who our ancestors are, through the conservation of records we discover our origin. This fact should be used as an example, to guarantee the existence of records about our regional cuisine, which has been developing and undergoing changes every decade. With this, we see the need to safeguard the gastronomic memory of our country, especially in the northeast region. The present work has the objective of guaranteeing the registration of the existence of recipes for sweets on a table, valuing the local culture of Paraíba. Documentary research methodology was used, resulting in the perception of scarcity of bibliographies in the region. Concluding that there is the importance of studies in order to guarantee the preservation of the recipes and history of northeastern sweets, those that have a childhood flavor and perpetuate in our memory with a taste of nostalgia.
