listen to the heart and soul of Portugal, Carlos Paredes and his Portuguese Guitar (in fact, he played a Coimbra Guitar, wich is similar but has some light differences in sonority).

I love the bouzouki. Reminds of the mandolin, wich I also love, but "sweeter".

The Cozido looks very healthy.

It's not healthy but it's fucking good, and if done properly you won't need to eat for the rest of the day

I need the help of google translate on this one.

On the left is breaded pork. Those 4 smaller things are called codfish cakes. I assume that's what you called breaded cod fish 
Fresch cheese, morcela, hake fillets.

Blood sausage is what we call Morcela.

But we also have breaded fish in Portugal, its just not as popular.

If you ask me, no trip to Portugal is complete without some of this. We have some of the best seafood in the world (foreigners say it).

[Faliro]

This is what I heard also... you want to eat fish in Europe, the Portuguese do it very very well.

Odeio marisco 

[Faliro]

That looks nasty 

It is. The chips are ok if you cover them with vinegar and salt.

Eu só curto mesmo camarão, o resto dispenso.

Time for Porto's and Portugal's most famous sandwich, the francesinha.



It's just bread with cheese and verious kinds of smoked meat/sausages, but it tastes delicious. The magic, as always, is in the sauce.
