In Brazil ,in  refering to feijoada as the national dish means feijoada 
completa.  It's a big production, usually for a Saturday gathering of family 
and friends, or going out to a restaurant that specializes in it. 
 
It's based on black beans cooked with carne seca, a dried beef, ham hocks, 
ribs, sausages like morcilla and chourico. Of course everybody has their own 
idea of what a real feijoada should be. It is often served with caiparinhas, 
which is basically a mojito without mint, just lime,sugar,  and cachaca , a 
liquor made from sugar cane juice, brighter and cleaner than rum, and usually  
86 to 90 proof.
 
First the bean liquor is served in small cups like soup, meats are sliced on 
platters, feijoada in a tureen acompanied by white rice, farofa, which is 
roasted cassava flour ( think toasted bread crumbs), couve mineira, greens 
sauteed with garlic and red pepper, and a hot red pepper sauce.

Eric-

Now there's something else I didn't know..there's Portugese
liquor?  I never really thought about it.

What about wine.  When I had my cacciola dinner I asked the liquor
store about Portugese wine and they didn't know much of anything.  I
recall back in the 60's we used to buy Mateus Rose, which I thought
was Portuguese. The wine guy at the liquor store made some noise about
the couple of choices they had available of Portuguese wine but said
it is grown someplace else or bottled someplace else.  Agh, can't
remember what he told me.  I ended up buying a couple bottles of some
pretty pricey wine that were very sweet.  Is there commercially
available Azorean wine we can get?  As you can imagine there's not
much call for Azorean or Portugese wines in Kansas.

the only portuguese dishes my grandmother made were: beans, soupas, Vinha

Feijoada is a stew of beans with beef and pork , which is a typical Portuguese 
dish, also typical in Brazil , Angola and other former Portuguese colonies . In 
Brazil, feijoada is considered the national dish , which was brought to South 
America by the Portuguese, based in ancient Feijoada recipes from the 
Portuguese regions of Beira , Estremadura , and Trás-os-Montes . [ 1 ] 

The name comes from feijão , Portuguese for "beans", and is pronounced

Actually Cindy, fejoada is Afro Brazillian in origin. When the slave masters
killed pigs, they saved the chops and the pork roasts (all the good cuts)
for  themselves and gave the inards, pigs feet, ears, etc to their slaves.
The slaves embelished the "stew" with black beans, etc. If you go to an up
scale Brazillian Restaurant, you will find the fejoada further embelished
with linguica, etc. In some upscale restaurants in Brazil they will
even serve pork chops on the side, a far cry from what the black slaves
originally had. My late wife was Brazillian and filled me in on all this
history of fejoada.

Hi, as far as I could remember "caçoula" in the Azores and Tras-os-Montes
was a large ceramic 2 to 3" wide mouth pot of clay or iron.  Below is the
Portugese dictionary reference.

nome femininorecipiente largo e pouco alto, de barro ou metal, para cozinhar
ao lume;caçarola; caçoila
(Do lat. **cattióla-*, «pequena escumadeira»)
