A Portuguese Affair

A Food Tour of Portugal - Part 2 - Can’t Miss Dishes

Listen on

Episode notes

If you haven’t already guessed, food is important to the Portuguese. Very important. The importance of food in Portuguese culture, family, social life, and tradition isn’t just something connected to holidays or special occasions - this is a year-round love affair. So much so that there is actually a codified “7 Gastronomic wonders of Portugal”!  And trust us, they are, in fact, worthy of such grand treatment.


From some of the best fish and seafood in the world, to a special meal cooked entirely underground, to lanche - a uniquely Portuguese spin on afternoon tea. And Catarina’s favorite meal of the day.  Plus, dessert.  So many delicious desserts!


So join Catarina on the second part of A Portuguese Affair’s gastronomic galavant through Portugal.
