This article deals with the eating habits of Brazilians living in Italy, and their views on the healthiness of the Mediterranean and Brazilian diet. After presenting the theoretical framework of the research, based on the notion of “dietary acculturation,” the results of a list of questions submitted to 58 Brazilians residing in Italy are discussed. The answers highlight the strong attachment of respondents to Brazilian food traditions, but also the systematic consumption of typical Italian dishes and drinks, to which they reserve very positive opinions. We hypothesize that the coincidence between the connotations of the Mediterranean/Italian diet and the indications contained in the “Food Guide for the Brazilian population” of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (2014), which respondents appear to know well, is supporting a process of dietary acculturation of Brazilians in Italy

Abstract

This article deals with the eating habits of Brazilians living in Italy, and their views on the healthiness of the Mediterranean and Brazilian diet. After presenting the theoretical framework of the research, based on the notion of “dietary acculturation,” the results of a list of questions submitted to 58 Brazilians residing in Italy are discussed. The answers highlight the strong attachment of respondents to Brazilian food traditions, but also the systematic consumption of typical Italian dishes and drinks, to which they reserve very positive opinions. We hypothesize that the coincidence between the connotations of the Mediterranean/Italian diet and the indications contained in the “Food Guide for the Brazilian population” of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (2014), which respondents appear to know well, is supporting a process of dietary acculturation of Brazilians in Italy
