THE BRIGADEIRO

Ask
Brazilian children what they expect to find to eat at a birthday party. Besides
cake, they're probably going to answer brigadeiros. Unlike other Brazil sweets
whose origin dates back to colonial times, brigadeiros have a more recent
history. Condensed milk, first manufactured in Brazil in 1921, made it possible
for Brazilians to create a chocolate sweet which was a favorite with Brigadier
Eduardo Gomes, one of the heroes in the 1922 lieutenant revolt at the
Copacabana fort.
When Eduardo Gomes was a candidate to Brazil presidency in 1945 - the first
year Brazilian women could vote for president - ladies who supported him sold
the chocolate sweet in fundraisers.
Eduardo Gomes's campaign slogan - "Vote no brigadeiro, que é bonito e é
solteiro" (Vote for the brigadier, who's good-looking and single) - didn't
grant him victory, but Brazil had a new name for an increasingly popular sweet.
