Resumen
SOBRAL, José Manuel y RODRIGUES, Patrícia. The “faithful friend”: cod and Portuguese identity. Etnográfica [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.3, pp.619-649. ISSN 0873-6561.
Salt cod has a unique status in Portuguese cuisine, as it is both a very common food, and a symbol of the Portuguese national identity. This essay proceeds to a genealogical reconstruction of the various reasons and processes that led to this situation, trying to show that dynamics of religious, economic, political and ideological nature combine with a long socialization and incorporation, which translated into a specific taste for this type of food among the Portuguese.
Palabras clave : salt cod; Christianity; cuisine; national identity; Portugal.
