Beans never peas
Great article but Acaraje is not made of peas but beans. It is a sacred recipe in honour of Iansa. I fixed the mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.43.137.133 (talk) 05:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Search issue
I searched for acarje on wikipedia, and got no results. I therefore made an article. However, I see now that this article was in fact here! The problem seems to be a general problem with wikipedia. I wrote the final letter of acarje without the accent. The search engine of Wikipedia did not relate this to the article with the accent. Not very clever...--Qwerty qwerty 03:01, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Although this comment is old, I felt like this page needed a redirect and have now put one in. Typing 'Acaraje' will redirect to this page. NameetSurana (talk) 12:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

terrible picture
Old memories of Salvador made me look this up ... but the picture is awful. It looks like God only knows what crap. The picture below of the Baiâna street vendor is much better in at least showing the correct color, which is brown, not orange. It looks sort of like falafel except it's bigger and oval, somewhere between egg-shaped and potato-shaped. The stuff inside is (if I remember) a sort of pale green, much paler than the green of falalel, and constant in color. Usually they cut it in half and stuff it with small boiled shrimps (not deshelled usually!) and a spicy yellow paste. I suspect this stuff is vatapá, because that term sounds more familiar than caruru and I don't usually remember it coming with okra, onions or tomatoes (or at least, that would be a fancier version than what the typical street vendors supplied in 1998-1999).
