Boston’s 12 Most Iconic Dishes | Eater Boston

"Massachusetts is home to the largest population of Cape Verdean Americans in the United States. The country, composed of a group of islands off the coast of West Africa, is particularly known for its seafood in many forms, as well as katchupa (alternatively stylized as cachupa), which many consider to be the national dish of the country. At Restaurante Cesaria, a Cape Verdean mainstay in Dorchester, the stew simmers with hominy, meat, beans, and collard greens, melding the rich flavors together for a memorable final product." - Erika Adams
