For centuries in the period of slavery, the "Senhores de Engenho" (I do not know exactly how to say it in English, but I believe it is "Lords of the Mills") gave the remains of their banquets to their slaves. Then they mixed the remnants of pig ears, tails, tongue, muzzle, trotters and head with black beans. That way, they did not have to spend anything to feed their slaves. Currently the ingredients used are better selected, but it is incredible to think that this delicious dish was created from remains, right?

Ps: Sorry if there are any mistakes. I'm still learning English and I had to write some difficult words here. Hah
