Did you know that the Portuguese were the ones who first brought tomatoes and potatoes in Europe? Although the Portuguese cuisine has Mediterranean influences, it also stands out with the variety of spices used to make the national dishes. Try the “piripiri”, a very hot chilli pepper, black pepper, cinnamon and saffron. People love using these ingredients when preparing their meals, as well as good quality olive oil. Traditionally, the Portuguese take food very seriously. Although they start the day with a quick breakfast, lunch can take up to 2 hours of their time and dinner must always begin after 8 PM. Every restaurant has fish and seafood on their menu. It is no wonder that the national dish is the “bacalhau”, a dried salted cod, which can be cooked in 365 different ways, as the locals say. However, if fish is not you thing, your can try other specialities. The list includes “cozido a portuguesa” (a vegetable and meat stew), “leitaoassado” (roasted pig) or the delicious Portuguese sausages.
