Carne de Vinha d' Alhos

Carne de Vinha d' Alhos is a Portuguese dish. The name means "Meat of Wine Garlic", that is meat with wine and garlic, the meat usually being pork or rabbit. It is traditionally served at Christmas time. In the Azores it is known as vina dosh (pronounced vinya dahj). It was taken by people from the Portuguese island of Madeira and the Azores to the Americas where it is known as "pickled pork", or "vina dosh." It is also known as "garlic pork" in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana where it was introduced in the early 19th century.

History

Vindaloo is a type of curry that was created from Carne de Vinha d' Alhos, which was influenced by the Portuguese some 500 years ago in the former Portuguese colony of Goa in India.

Hawaii benefited culinarily from the influx of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores during the 19th century with the introduction of food such as vinha dosh and malasadas.
