What is the origin of vory vory?
To understand the history of this dish, we must go back to the era of the Guarani Jesuit missions, where, following cultural fusion, various dishes, including vory vory, were created. Even today, they are considered part of the country's heritage due to their impact and great flavor, being prepared in various parts of South America and around the world.
It is not known exactly when the mixture that we now know as vory vory came about. What we can confirm is that these combinations were among the best things to happen during those Jesuit missions.
Characteristics and facts
Vory vory is defined and characterized as a thick broth. It is served with small balls made from corn and cheese. Over the years, additional ingredients have also been added, going beyond the traditional components of this dish.
The name of this dish comes from Guarani terms. In the case of the word "vory," it means "little ball" in Spanish, referring to the small balls of corn and cheese that accompany the broth. Therefore, the dish has the curious translation in Spanish as: "little ball, little ball."
Modern Guarani explains that the pluralization of a word is often done by repetition, so the dish "vory vory" refers to the multiple small balls served with this magnificent Guarani-origin dish.
