    I am so glad you went to Portugal, their cuisine is always over-shadowed by their larger neighbours, but it is so distinct and so incredibly flavoursome; it marries humble cooking with proud delivery and unique flavour combinations, it's wonderful. More so than Spain they have used the influences from their travels in the age of exploration to make their national dishes what could arguably be termed the worlds very first fusion cuisine. That's an accolade in itself. If you've never tried Portuguese cuisine folks, find out where you can do so, go treat yourself.

      Agree Portuguese food is far more vibrant than most found in Spain...the spicing etc just is so hard to find in Spain partly due to the rejection of anything vaguely spicey by most Spanish...it means a lot of dishes are bland...in Portugal the use of chillies/spice really elevates those delicious ingredients they use....

      Just some clarifications: The Portuguese found indeed many new things, but those you´re talking about were already in all Europe prior to the discovery of a maritime rute to India. So It was nothing new, we simply wanted to control that market and we did it good. Right?

    Hello @Mark Wiens!!
    That was not folk music. Those persons are stundents of university that apply to a music group called "Tuna" (yes like the fish). They sing original musics that they create and try to raise money to get new instruments and other things to. Their clothes are called "Traje Académico". Some people believe that J K Rowling got inspired by that to write "Harry Potter".
    Thank you so much to showcase some of the beauties of our country, I LOVE IT!!

    Lisboa and Coimbra are two of my favorite cities in Portugal. Add to that Évora and Cintra and you got four exciting cities. To eat real Portuguese food choose a place where there is a lot of working people eating. Can’t beat grilled sardines on a stick, over charcoal sprinkled with coarse sea salt, lemon juice and good Portuguese olive oil. The liquid crack they serve at the “Café A Brasileira” is tops and what a good expresso should taste like (reasonably priced too). The grilled octopus with olive oil and lemon juice, paired with a cold beer in the summer is superb. It has a great smoky flavor from the hardwood charcoal. When in Lisboa, wear comfortable shoes because you can mostly feel the pulse of the city by walking.
    By the way, the music you used on the background is not Portuguese music, but music from the northeast of Brazil.

  • @willneverforgets3341

    Yes, indeed all chilies come from America, and the Portuguese took them to Asia. Strangely enough the Spanish don't seem to like spicy food as much as the Portuguese. Hadn't it been for the earthquake of 1755, Lisbon would today be as rich in cultural landmarks as Paris or Rome. And even so I love it!

    After seeing all these ceviche from all around the world, that you showed us thank you for that, I have to declare Peru the uncontested master. The choice of ingredients and the way and care given to all of them during the preparation in Peru cannot be compared and for a fraction of the price making it extremely underrated and underrepresented. See, before all you've given us, you GastrOrgasmiCosmical man (I had an inner fight, comical, cosmic, had have an inner vote and it was a tie so), I thought ceviche was just fish cubes and some vinegar or citrus with a few herbs; Peru changed all that the way one could fish a fish and eat it feral style but a sushi chef will represent the ultimate art of "raw" fish feasting one can never unknow once experienced.

The reason why we don't have Nando's in Portugal is because, well, we dont need it! This is because roast chicken can be found basically anywhere in the country!

    We have just come back from Lisbon, we flew TAP and were very impressed. We did not eat out a great deal but mostly stayed in the hotel Lapa Palace which was wonderful for all meal, wore our masks all the time and had our temperature taken on returning to the hotel from a walk. The only place we did eat out was at the Time Out Market which we imagine was once a large warehouse. Food stalls all the way round with different specialities but we ate in the terrace area of one of the specialities restaurants. It was called the ‘surf and turf’ (common name but extraordinary food!) should you go there ask for SERGIO, very friendly and speaks good English....say hi from Jan!!
    go there ask for

    Aww, you should sometime visit Porto (O'Porto) wonderful food and nice tours of the Port wine producers. Was there in maybe 1999 (business trip). Also I'm a bit sad that you din't try Surströmming while in my country, the taste and smell is quite.........unique :) Love the vids you and Ying makes.

    And in Portugal the Pimentões or pimentoe sauce is thick and saucy and stings a bit. It goes well with white fresh cheese.

    I have no clue who would have such a dark color scheme for that hotel. Outside the sky is blue and the sun is shining and inside they have walls that look like a haunted house. Weird to say the least.

      @karlenewarner8170 5 років тому +3

      He is just using his knife as a tool to access his chicken! Doesn’t really matter how Mark used it because it served his purpose! Mark does not seem to be caught up in trivial matters such as using his knife properly!! It seems he just wants to share special cultures, for which we are so thankful!!
