The concept of 'Porções' evolved from the tradition of sharing meals and appetizers, influenced by indigenous, African, and European culinary practices. The Portuguese 'petiscos' and the African communal eating style contributed to this sharing culture. Over time, bars and restaurants adapted this tradition, offering a variety of bite-sized portions to encourage social gatherings and diverse tastes.
