| + | ====== Porto Northern Portuguese cuisine ====== | ||
| + | ==== Francesinha ==== | ||
| + | A monumental sandwich made with layers of cured meats, steak, ham, and sausage, topped with cheese, then drowned in a spicy beer-tomato sauce and served with fries. It’s Porto’s wild love letter to gluttony. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Tripas à Moda do Porto (Tripe Porto Style) ==== | ||
| + | A slow-cooked stew of cow’s tripe, white beans, pork, chouriço, and carrots — deeply tied to the city’s identity. Porto’s people are called tripeiros because of this proud dish. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá ==== | ||
| + | Invented in Porto, this dish layers salt cod with potatoes, onions, boiled egg, and olives, baked until golden. Elegant yet rustic — named after its 19th-century creator. [([[https:// | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ==== Lampreia à Bordalesa ==== | ||

| + | |||
