Describe your last fart...

Hey there

I love your NATA

Is it true that "pork chop" was/ is a negative derogatory slang about the Portuguese? hahahah fuck - I've heard@mainliner come up with better burns than that...

Ok, maybe I haven't....

Loool nah unfortunately Costeleta de Porco has no derrogatory conotations what so ever.
Pretty impressed you know about the pastel de nata, true national delicassy. In fact i would dare say that the portuguese were the pioneers in pastry and cakes back in the 14th century.
Heres one of my favourite pastries called horse shoe

Actually, learned about Nata when my parents visited my brother in Hong Kong. There were line ups at the Portuguese bakeries everyday - and they were introduced to Nata.

There's also an AMAZING Portuguese restaurant in town, that my boyf introduced me too.

Piri piri chicken is a house favourite as well!

I swear to god i have no fucking clue where the international obsession of piri piri chicken come from. I dont even know if its made the way we eat chicken at home. Piri Piri is basically chillies in whiskey left for time and you season charcoal barbacue chicken (no propane) with drips of it on the chicken usually burning your tongue. theres no taste specific to piri piri its just a pretty hot sauce end of story.
Im kinda planning to open a wee cake shop here in barcelona in the not too distant future.
Id would be really appreciative if you could at some point take a pic of the menu of that portuguese restaurant in canada im so curious.

They're awesome! Menu changes everyday almost.

@Yessica... Seems authentic enough! Shit loads of Portuguese fled in the 60s to Canada. Next time you go in the restaurant ask for porco preto. A special breed of pig a cross of wild boar and domesticated pig inherent to portugal and spain though in spain its all used for susages and ham whereas in portugal we eat them too. Ive been vegetarian for a while but i still remember that taste.

mine smells good

Provincetown, MA -although I'm pretty sure the Pilgrims first landed there, has a rich Portuguese heritage. They have great bakeries. I'm a savory guy myself, so my favorite dishes are Portuguese kale soup, and I have no idea if y'all know of it but linguica sausage? I use it in clam and seafood dishes. Kinda spicy, but not too hot. Awesome.

holy shit that picture was huge

I wonder if they use the strain of kale we have in portugal for that soup. Its a type of kale that can literally grow up to 4 or 5 meters tall. my grandad had one he had ladder next to it to climb it lol Good linguica is top, i used to make it with my grandmom with the pig intestines and all. However people dont cook with it over there, they eat it as a starter with bread and cheese. In fact real portuguese restaurants even before you get the menu you get a basket of bread, a plate of butter and sardine pate, a plate of olives, a plate of cheese and a plate of linguica. Actually thats even before the starters, just to open your mouth lol. Then you get like sort of tapas i suppose and then a main dish you will not be able to finish due to portion size.
