History

Chipá or Cuñapé has been prepared in the Guarani region (northern Argentina, Paraguay, south-eastern Bolivia and areas of Brazil) since humans settled in the area. During inception, the Guarani people prepared it only with cassava starch and water. After the arrival of the colonists and Jesuit missionaries, and with the introduction of cattle, chickens and new products derived from this livestock (like cheese and eggs), chipá began to gradually evolve into the widely-used recipe of the early 21st century.

During the second half of the 20th century, migration within South America has increased consumption of pão de queijo and chipás in large cities such as São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Buenos Aires and Córdoba, Argentina. In Brazil, the dish became a national sensation in the 1950s.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    These anyway might think it was important
    That human history should not be shortened.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
