          Abstract

          O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver uma descrição histórica dos eventos relacionados à problemática do abastecimento alimentar durante a conquista de parte do Nordeste brasileiro, entre 1630 e 1654, pela Companhia das Índias Ocidentais holandesa, que revelou o modo de pensar dos conquistadores e permitiu demonstrar as dificuldades de subsistência no Brasil holandês e a precariedade do domínio político estabelecido. Durante o governo do conde Maurício de Nassau-Siegen, entretanto, os forasteiros maravilhados descobriram o sabor da fauna e da flora local que os colonos portugueses costumavam comer, e adotaram sem demora essas iguarias que eles utilizaram para elaborar imagens convincentes do poder conquistado. A descrição dos hábitos alimentares e dos problemas de abastecimento encontrados na documentação analisada permitiu apontar os parâmetros sócio-culturais que regiam aquela sociedade, favorecendo um enfoque bem documentado sobre a alimentação da época.

          Translated abstract

          An analysis of food resources of the civil population and the occupation army that the Dutch West Indies Company brought to the Northeast of Brazil from 1630 to 1654 demonstrated the hard situation of subsistence of the Brazilian colony and the precariousness of the political dominion established. Under the governorship of count Moritz van Nassau-Siegen, however, the Dutch, enchanted with the flavors of the local fauna and flora that Portuguese colonists were used to eating, soon adopted such delicacies at their tables and used them to develop convincing images of their political power over the land. The description of the food habits and the problems of sully found in the analyzed documents allowed the determination of the sociocultural parameters that governed that society, favoring a well documented focus on the eating habits of that time.
