Filhoses, filhó, filhós, velhozes, are some of the names given to this sweet that, together with Bolo Rei, rabanadas/Fatias dourados, Coscorões and Sonhos, are inevitable and are part of the Portuguese Christmas. From North to South of Portugal and according to the region of the country, the way they are prepared and the expressions by which these fried treats are known change, such as: filhoses de cacau, filhoses da Beira Baixa, filhoses da Beira Litoral, filhoses extensas, filhoses Judias Alentejonas, these are some variations of the recipe for filhós. Note that the diversity of this Christmas sweet is so great that there are preparations with eggs, without eggs, with orange, without orange, with pumpkin, without pumpkin, etc., and almost every Portuguese family has its own peculiar way of preparing them that I wouldn't dare say that some are better than others. Legend has it that the tradition of eating filhoses at Christmas time http://www.bernardinoreceitas.site/fi..., began with the kindness of offering them to the boys who were visiting the houses after midnight mass, accompanied by port wine or another type of wine to “warm the soul and quench the throat”. The sweet is also popular in Brazil in some regions of the Brazilian Northeast and the custom of eating filhoses at Carnival time is part of the tradition of these people.
