"Rui Outeiro is a Portuguese food enthusiast who cottoned on to tapioca’s potential when he spent four years working in Brazil. His Tacos & Tapioca food cart is a regular at street food events across Lisbon.
“In 2016, some companies started importing tapioca to Portugal, as it became a trend among gym-goers and people on gluten-free diets,” he explains. “We have huge numbers of Brazilians living in Portugal—and Lisbon in particular, as well as tens of thousands of Brazilian tourists, and many Portuguese travel to Brazil, so they’re familiar with traditional foods such as tapioca.”
Brazilian expats living in the Portuguese capital have introduced their new home to tapioca pancakes, topped with everything from shredded beef to Nutella.
