Sardinhas Assadas
by arasnosliw
Forget those stereotypes of BBQs with burgers and hotdogs!!
This is a favorite Portuguese specialty; sardinhas assadas or grilled sardines. In the summertime, the streets of Portugal are filled with the ever-so distinct smell of sardines being cooked on a charcoal grill. Love it or hate it, you can't avoid it. I couldn't stand the smell (let alone the taste) of sardines when I first arrived in Portugal. I think it's because my only experiences with sardines have been eating them in the wretched can form. That's the only way you can find them here in the US. After a few weeks, I was hooked to these fresh sardines. I'm never eating a canned one again!

historic arch
by arasnosliw
This arch in Ribeira has some part of historical significance, but I'm so tired and forgetful right now...my mind has lapsed and I cannot recall what exactly this is and Google is helping me out in no way.
If you want to help me out in recognizing this structure, it would be much appreciated by my jellified brain.
Caldo Verde
by evilprebil
This super is absolutely great. You wouldn't think that a cabbage soup could be this flavorful and unique...but it is! It has a dark green cabbage and chourico in it and is fabulous! I wish I could have made an entire meal out of this dish.
