ResumoRESUMO A formacao etnica do gaucho brasileiro confunde-se com o proprio nascimento do Rio Grande do Sul. Sua cultura e baseada no ciclo do gado, nao diferindo no contexto geral da nacional, onde aparece como adepto inseparavel do churrasco tanto da carne bovina como da de ovelha. Considerando-se seu prato tipico – o churrasco acompanhado do Chimarrao – temos a mistura do gado, procedente da Europa com a erva proveniente do Paraguai estabelecendo-se uma uniao entre o indio (erva-mate) e o europeu portugues acoreano com o gado. Italianos, alemaes e poloneses trouxeram as docarias, o panificio, as biscoitarias, ao negro, os temperos. O folclore do Rio Grande do Sul e de nitida procedencia luso-acoreana, com influencia do indio e do negro A participacao e a contribuicao do europeu foram importantes na formacao etnica do gaucho, mas vale ressaltar que sofreram um processo de aculturacao. Tiveram que aceitar o que emanava da terra gaucha na sua forca primitiva. O Rio Grande do Sul a um legado luso-acoreano brasileiro. ABSTRACT Alimentation of the brazilian “gaucho”. v. 8, n. 2, p. 131-159, jul./dez. 1980. The ethnical formation of the Brazilian “gaucho” (native man from Rio Grande do Sul State) is blended with the birth of Rio Grande do Sul. His culture is based on the cattle cycle, not differing in the general context from the national one, where he appears as the inseparable follower of the barbecue both from the cattle and ewe meat. Being considered his typical plate – the barbecue accompanied of “chimarrao” (kind of a bitter tea) – we have the mixture of the cattle coming from Europe with the herb which came from Paraguay being established an union between the indian people (herb-mate) and the European Portuguese people from the Acores with the cattle. Italian, German, people and Polishes have bought the specialties in sweets, the bread, the biscuits and, on the other hand the Negro, have brought the seasoning. The folklore of Rio Grande do Sul is of clearly Luso-Acorian origin, with the indian and negro influence. The European participation and contribution were very important in the ethnical formation of the “gau¬cho”, but it is worthy to emphasize that they have undergone an acculturation, process. They had to accept what came from the Rio Grande do Sul lands in its primitive power. Rio Grande do Sul is a Luso-Acorian Brazilian bequest. RESUME L’alimentation du “gaucho” bresilien. v. 8, n. 2, p. 131-159, jul./dez. 1980. La formation ethnique du gaucho bresilien se confond avec la naissance meme du Rio Grande du Sud. Sa culture est basee sur le cycle du betail ne s’eloignant pas dans le contexte general, de la culture nationale ou il apparait comme un adapte inseparable du “churrasco” (viande cuite sur la braise) de boeuf ou de mouton. Plat typique de la region – le “churrasco” accompagne du chimarrao (infusion stimulante faite de feuilles de mate) – nous avons un melange du betail, provenant de l‘Europe et l‘herbe provenant du Paraguay, produisant l’union de l’indigene (mate) et l’europeen portugais acoreen (du betail). Les italiens, les allemands et les polonais ont apporte les confiseries, la boulangerie, la pâtisserie et les noirs les assaisonnements. Le folklore du Rio Grande du Sud est essentiellement d’origine luso-acoreenne avec l’influence de l’indigene et des noirs. La participation et la contribution de l’Europeen ont ete importantes dans la formation ethnique du gaucho, mais il faut remarquer qu'ils ont subit un processus d’acculturation. Ils ont ete obliges d’accepter ce qui venait de la terre gaucha dans son etat primitif. Le Rio Grande du Sud est un legat luso acoreen-bresilien.
