#FallRiver #Massachusetts wasn’t just a mill town — it was a #Portuguese kitchen in full song. Steam from #caldoverde curling out of cold-water flats, sugar-dusted #malasadas popping in lard, smoky #chourico and #linguica perfuming entire blocks. These weren’t just meals; they were lifelines — the flavors Azorean & Madeiran families used to build community, dignity, and a future. If you love #foodhistory + #immigrantstories, this is #NewEnglandEats you can taste.

🎥 In this episode we count down 25 Foods Portuguese Immigrants ACTUALLY Ate in 1900s Massachusetts — the real dishes that fed mill shifts, powered festivals, and still define #FallRiver today. Expect comfort, thrift, and festival-level joy ✨ #HistoryTok #FoodTok

The hush of a pot of #CaldoVerde thick with potatoes, kale, and a kiss of linguiça — pure mill-town comfort.

Festival sweets: still-warm #Malasadas and golden #PasteisDeNata (hello, flaky custard heaven).
