Dobrada (food)

The word "dobradinha" (from the Portuguese word "dobro" which means double) is also used in Portugal for the achievement known as double in association football.

Dobradinha is a traditional Portuguese dish made from a cow's flat white stomach lining commonly flavoured with paprika, tomato paste, onion, garlic, clove and red pepper paste. Usually, decorated with parsley. Sliced carrots and butter beans are essential as well. White rice is often served alongside this dish, especially in the city of Porto where it is called tripas à moda do Porto In reference to the historical events of the Iberian invasions, where the men of Porto went to fight and also took all the meat that the city produced, leaving behind only the women and the intestines of the cows. Therefore, to combat hunger, the women used these parts to invent a new recipe and avoid starvation. In Brazil the dish is a heritage from the Portuguese culture.
