On a historic day for Brazilian cuisine, the traditional "escondidinho" was elected the best dish in the world in the "casserole" category - which selects dishes baked in casseroles - by TasteAtlas, a highly renowned online gastronomic guide. The list was released last Thursday (16).

The northeastern delicacy, which normally consists of shredded dry or sun-dried meat under a layer of mashed cassava or potato gratin topped with cheese, surpassed Italian, French, and North American recipes, winning over the palates of the platform's users.

With an average rating of 4.5 stars, the "escondidinho" stood out for its unique combination of flavors and textures, as well as its rich history and tradition in Brazilian gastronomic culture. The dish, which can have variations with chicken, beef, ham and cheese, pork, and even shrimp, pleased the most discerning palates and secured the top spot in the ranking.

The title is an important milestone for Brazilian cuisine, which has been gaining increasing international recognition. The "escondidinho," which was already a popular dish throughout Brazil, now becomes a symbol of national gastronomy to the world, attracting the attention of tourists and food enthusiasts to our country.
