  • You think there’s a high number of Spanish tourists going over the border, to Lisbon, only to ask for a pomegranate juice? And you think they are just going to assume that their language, culture and coloquialisms are the same? That’s a lot of assumptions being made.

    Was the waiter Portuguese, or just an immigrant that had a scary experience with a foreign Tourist?

    And again, did anyone here even looked up the word in O.G. Portuguese? Because the author of the article surely didn’t (otherwise I’d find it in the article), and all the people in the comments seem to be making a lot of assumptions about cultures in Europe.

    tomato-and-beer sauce

    (rant)

    and (smokey) whiskey, and corn starch, onions, garlic, and a choice of chicken / beef / shellfish stock… and (piri-piri) hot sauce (optional, if you’re mid)…

    I don’t know if OP just did a short-hand of the sauce, but I was in a restaurant (this was not in Porto…) where the owner classified it as a “tomato-and-beer sauce” and indeed it was… a vegetable soup, and it wasn’t pleasant at all.

    The sauce is the most important thing in the Francesinha. Anyone can do a fry-up and stick it between two slices of bread and top it with cheese.

    There’s a good Francesinha sauce recipe in the Thermomix/Bimby database; that can be anyone’s baseline. (/rant)

    That Francesinha looks great, I wish I could find a decent place in my town to eat one.
