Then moved on to bread, chorizo butter, wine and various meats and cheeses. Then came the first course that we thought was the main. There were 23 items, mostly meat. 2 3 1 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted March 1, 2023 My FO then tried 7 of the 15 available desserts, all of which were excellent, he says. We were then served homemade fruit and herb liquors. It was self serve, drink as much as you like. Ended the night with an espresso. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally don’t eat pork, lamb, rabbit or octopus so that alone eliminated a lot. Skipped the desserts but caved to the cordials. I had one that was orange and the other was ginger root. They were excellent. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan ★ Posted March 1, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 1, 2023 The Portuguese certainly know how to do food. I had a baked octopus in a small town and it was fabulous. Looks like the only thing missing from your spread is cod. That seemed to be very popular in Portugal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted March 1, 2023 Share #22 Posted March 1, 2023 That is a lot of food. I would want to at least have a taste of each one. You are a better man than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
