I learned from one of my best college friends that there are more Lebanese in Brazil then Lebanon itself (Brazil also host the second largest Japanese and African populations, outdone by Japan and Nigeria respectively). I was surprised to find out that several foods also migrated and blended into Brazilian society so succinctly that Brazilians consider it their own. Among these is the esfiha...
These are closed esfihas, think of mini pies. The filling is usually seasoned meat, cheese, or vegetable. The open esfihas look like mini pizzas, but with the filling as the toppings. If you have never tried this originally Mediterranean treat, you should.
