Portuguese culture

[Faliro]

I have resisted going to a Portuguese restaurant in London, simply because the Brazilian and Greek restaurants here are so bad.. I once found a pube in a coxinha in a London Brazilian/Portuguese restaurant.. 

I will only eat Portuguese food in Portugal I have decided.

They have some portuguese restaurants in Stockwell, London... We have a portuguese community there.

I tried 2 of them. "Madeira" and another, which name I don't remember at the moment.

The ones I visited were on the Harrow Road and they were terrible. Food, service, price.. I felt sorry for the customers.

Francesinha looks tasty. Would not mind trying that.

Francesinha is amazing, and it's definitely the kind of sandwich that any meat/fatty foods lover would love when done properly, the secret is all on the sauce and the one in the video actually doesn't look particularly appetizing, tbh. And also it's a sandwich specific to the Porto area, even if it has become somewhat popular is other areas of Portugal.

As such, I gotta say I find those choices of foods strange with the exception of Bacalhau à Brás, it is said there are 1001 ways to cook bacalhau, so any of them would work for that video.

But to me, the greatest example of Portuguese cuisine has to be the Cozido à Portuguesa, that is proper all around traditional portuguese food, the others not so much, imho.

There are literally hundreds of different dishes and if you can afford it you can spend a year making meals without repeating any dish. And i'm not talking about steak and chips, pork at lunch and beef at dinner. Just think about soups and we usually have a soup as an entrée. And desserts? Good God.
I remember a couple of years ago we had a dutch technician showcasing a new machine so we brought him along for lunch, all kinds of grilled fish and salad (which we call here salada montanheira, chopped up veggies like tomatoes, cucumber, red and green peppers, lots of olive oil and vinegar, salt and oregano, kind of gazpacho but 1000X better). The guy was amazed. And a bit dizzy from the beers, but amazed.
And yes, i too miss a good portion of cozido à portuguesa. Especially the ear and the cabbage.

A couple of other two Greek words that I remembered in the meantime and particularly like:

Anagnorisis
Agamemnon

Funny they all start with an A, counting with Alafroïskioto. I can't explain why, they just sound really good to my ears.
