Cape Verde's national dish, named Cachupa, reflects a diverse mix of Portuguese and West African cultures. Cachupa is comprised mainly of meat, beans, and grains. The meat in this dish reflects Portuguese influences, as during the period of European immigration, much livestock was brought to Cape Verde. Meats in this dish are combined with traditional West African vegetables. Interestingly, this dish also has a South American influence, as it sometimes includes corn, hot chili, peppers, and cassava. This most likely stems from the fact that Cape Verde was a popular stopover point for ships sailing from South America to Africa. Ultimately, most of the ingredients in Cachupa reflect an aspect of Cape Verde's immigration history, making it an appropriate national dish.

As discussed earlier in this blog, there is a significant amount of homesickness in Cape Verde. In Cape Verde, it is common for a meal of Cachupa to be a social opportunity for immigrants to share stories, and remember the countries that they came from. This is appropriate, considering the number of different cultural influences in this dish.

Not only does Cachupa reflect the immigration history of Cape Verde, but it also represents the economic status of a family in Cape Verde. Poorer families tend to use more crop-based ingredients, often grown in their own homes, in their Cachupa. In contrast, wealthier families, who can buy from local markets, often include lots of meats in their dish, such as pork, beef, and sausage. When lots of meat is included in Cachupa, it is aptly named Cachupa Rica, which means "rich" Cachupa. From this, it is clear that not only does Cachupa reflect aspects of Cape Verdean history, but it also provides an insight into modern Cape Verdean culture.
