@ Wiseandtrue, you are very funny .

Acaraje is the Brazilian name for Akara. The English name for Akara is Bean Cake or Fried Bean Cake.

Slaves from Yorubaland, Dahomey and West Africa took Akara to Brazil. Brazilians today call Akara 'Acaraje'.


Cheers.

The Best Bangkok Street Foods Await…

Bangkok’s food scene is exploding in terms of the cafe and fine-dining scene, but to me, dishes that make up an authentic Thai eating experience is all about the street food – Food straight out of roadside pushcarts or hidden amongst the maze of Bangkok night bazaars.

Hello foodies,
Akara is a dish made from peeled beans formed into a ball and then deep-fried in groundnut oil or palm oil

It is found in West Africa and Brazilian cuisines.

Àkàrà is a special delicacy in Nigeria we all love to eat.

Some eat it with bread, pap/custard, Eko/agidi, rice e.t.c

Though it is popularly called Àkàrà, some refers to it as fried bean cake and so on.

But here's the real English name.

The English name for Àkàrà is Acarajé

Now you know

You're wrong @Wiseandtrue.
You have to do some corrections in
your original post.


Akara is a Yoruba word just like moin moin which when elongated is "moyin moyin" or "mo eyin" (it means: to stick to the teeth).

NOTE: Mo means to stick to something, while Eyin is the Yoruba word for teeth.


Now in the 1700s and majorly in the
1800s, more than 500,000
Yorubas from the Yoruba-speaking parts of Nigeria, Benin Republic, and Togo were taken as captives to Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana (where Rihana's mum comes from) Brazil, etc.


The Yorubas from Ijesaland, Oyo,
Egbaland, Ketu kingdom, etc, took
Yoruba foods such as Akara to Bahia
Region in Brazil which has a very strong Yoruba cultural, religious, and linguistic presence from the plantation slavery era till today!

Herbert Macaulay's maternal grandfather (Bishop Samuel Ajayi-
Crowther) was also rescued with other captives from a Portuguese slave ship that was headed for
Brazil from Lagos island in 1821
by a British Navy ship and taken to
Freetown.


So Acaraje is the Yoruba-Brazilian spelling for Akara which is the
Yoruba-Nigerian spelling.

Akara Ijesa (Acaraje) is a very
popular delicacy in Brazil, Cuba (where Yoruba culture is also very strong and the Yorubanised-Cuban language is officially recognised in the land of Fidel Castro).

The Hausas however call
Akara... "Kosai."

Interestingly
Yorubas call the oven-baked cakes
"Akara Oyinbo" or the "white person's
Akara."

Hope this helps everyone reading
this.

All the best.
