Entered for safe-keeping, from Dede Deane Gray in "Flavored with Tradition: A Collection of Recipes from Charleston, Atlanta, and Richmond". Feijoada is Brazil's national dish. I imagine this would be more authentic if chorizo sausage replaced the "smoked sausage"; chorizo sausage can be found at a Latin grocer's. For accessibility, most people would substitute kielbasa.
