Abstract

Eating habits are connected, in principle, to most religions. Through fasts, abstinences and determining what is pure or impure, religions influence their believers‟ eating habits. This dissertation aims at perceiving these relationships, merging two areas of knowledge, the History of Eating and the study of religions. Therefore, interviews with members of Candomblé in Curitiba were conducted, based on the oral history methodology. These registers gather information from different levels of specificity, such as the mythology preserved by the Orixas and how food is depicted in these stories, sacrificial rituals and offerings, the daily routine of the
povo-de-santo and their daily eating habits, both on ordinary and festive days. This complex chain, which
permeates the relationships between gods and eating, eating and men, men and gods, lights the field of the history of eating and discusses religious practices as a transforming agent of taste.
