Jackson's Culinary Guide to Portugal

OK, Its very simple!!! When in Portugal stick to the 3 S's

* Sagres *
* Seafood *
* Sangria *

(and lots of them)

A seafood stew thingy with rice. Very nice!!

Much to my horror early one morning in full caffeine addiction mode, I had my first Portuguese coffee. It was not much wider than my finger, black and tasted like liquefied camel poo!! I highly recommend staying well clear of these.

Tiny shells that urinate everywhere. Didn't actually eat these fellas but they are a great source of amusement.

SANGRIA!! A must!!

Seafood Salad. Awesome. Best eaten on a sunny arvo with a ice cold glass of beer!!

Octopus Salad. Probably the only thing better than a seafood salad on a hot day in the sun with a cold beer!!

Seafood Skewer!! Whole baby squids, prawns and other assorted goodies on a stick. Highly recommended.

Some sort of grilled fish. This is what you get when your Portuguese is about as good as your waitresses English. Its not the one you ordered but you are stoked all the same as it tastes freakin fantastic!!

Sardinahs!! Looks terrible but tastes terrific. Avoid eating the brains as they taste slightly peculiar, but the bones eyes and tails are fair game. (best not eaten around those disgusted by fish) SORRY ALICIA!!!!!!

Sagres!! The local brew!!

Good at any time of day!!

Best served in a giant cup!!

Ice cold in the sun!!

Also good served with smint gum!!! To ward off the dreaded beer breath!!
