Your facial expressions when eating are legendary. Having worked in over 70 countries and tried all their cuisines I can honestly say very few come close to Portuguese food. Not only is it extremely healthy but you can eat it everyday without feeling bloated. The Portuguese are very spoiled when it comes to food..
After my country Peru, Portugal has the best gastronomy i tasted...my god, i have eaten all, everything , and the people is very very friendly and kind, i was in Porto, Faro and Lisboa... i loved it Portugal....
Que aburrida me tienen con mi comida es mejor que la tuya. Soy cubana y mi comida NO ES NI REMOTAMENTE LA MEJOR. Soy la única honesta. He comido peruana, buena y mala que la he dejado en el plato. He comido portugués, que al otro día si me preguntan, no recuerdo que comí. He comido en Rusia, en Turquía, en Israel, riquísimo genuino mediterráneo. Italia es #1 Que aburrida de verdad.

The man who was sitting by your side at the restaurant teaching you how to eat the cod fish is one of the best researchers and college professors of Lisbon :O
Many youtubers speak fastly so lots of people who are not really good at English like me sometimes get hard to follow and understand all what they say, but Mark is not. He knows how to keep the presentation at a medium speed so that watchers can afford to get it easily.
Eating at restaurants with communal tables as a tourist in a foreign country has always been a great experience. The locals are always friendly and eager to help tourists with the menu, make suggestions etc. It always enhances the experience to know what to order and how to eat it.
Mad respect for Portugal, and Lisboa in particular, homeland of the giant of the mind Fernando Pessoa. Cheers from Italy, I hope I can visit Rua dos douradores and the Café A Brasileira one day.
if you love seafood, you'll enjoy your culinary experience in Portugal..but the Portuguese also make great bread, pastries, olive oil, olives, cheeses, cured hams, sausages, rice dishes...
Im doing my family tree, and found out that while i always knew my grandma on my dad's side is mexican, i just found out my grandad, Frank, his parents are from Portugal. So im learning about Portugal😊 and the food (I LOVE foreign cuisine, and i always found the best way to learn about a culture is by its food -- thats how I came to love Ethiopian cuisine)😀💖 That said, your ebthusiasm makes me want to get my passport and make a spontaneous trip to Portugal😀
For a full three and a half years straight, Septembro 1978 until 16 Marco 1982, I ate Portuguese food in dozens of restaurants all over Lisboa and at Monte Gordo, Algarve. Amo os Portugueses. Saudacoes, felicidades. I lived in a pensao, and two campismos, the Lisboa municipal Monsanto with city bus service, and the camping at Monte Gordo near Spain. Viva o Portugal. Deus vos abencoe.
I lived in Lisboa in 2011/2012. Esta video me lembras de todas de cozinha maravilhosa. So glad you enjoyed yourself, Mark! And yes -- the coffee is so underrated! My Portuguese ex-husband used to say there were three things Portuguese worshipped: coffee, football, and beer, and not in that order.
@@AgrippaMaxentius No Brasil também há dobradas. Nós chamamos de "dobradinha" que é o bucho do boi ensopado com batatas, feijão branco, embutidos (acho que em Portugal é enchidos), salsinha e pimenta do reino. Eu adoro dobradinha! Ja vi tripas a moda do Porto na TV. Era uma entrevista com o chef de um restaurante na Cidade do Porto chamado "O Pombeiro". Lá também tinha a tal francesinha só que com massa folheada. Eu adoraria experimentar.
I had the best time of my life in Lisbon and so its REALLY calming to watch this video from you. Its so nice and authentic! It's like being there again :)
I quite agree. The food is wonderful, Lisbon is wonderful and the rest of Portugal is wonderful too. And I've been around a bit . Sometimes I stayed for two months.Portuguese people are bloody great, especially if you try to speak Portuguese. My vocabulary consists of 10 words, but I do know the seafood words.
Thanks for sharing. Bring back memories. I was there last year and found Portugal to be a great destination for food lovers that speak English. I usually try to learn few phrases when I visit a country but didn't get have the chance to use much of it at all. Portuguese are very English friendly.
undo.kat bullshit Our pork is one of the best in the world (according to Bourdain the second best in the world and that man knows his pork) and so is our charcoal chicken with piri piri. Our bread and pastries are also some of the best in the world and things like tempura were invented by us. Our cheeses are awesome (Castelo Branco/ Serra da estrela/Açores) and have won countless awards in europe and so is our presunto. Francesinha is considered one of the best sandwiches in the world and we also have some of the best wines in the world (Porto and Madeira) and yes some of the best seafood oh and José Avillez just won best chef of the year award. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
No, I mean considered one of the best sandwiches in the world by many www.shortlist.com/news/the-worlds-10-best-sandwiches/39073 and is a portuguese dish no matter what you say and here is another portuguese sandwich: bifana www.traveller.com.au/the-worlds-greatest-sandwiches-and-where-to-eat-them-gzp0ag. Heart strokes? We have a mediterrean diet which is just considered to be the healthiest in the world so don't worry if we indulge ourselves once or twice a month getjaunty.com/2017/09/07/portuguese-cuisine-perks-of-a-mediterranean-diet/ . Porto and Madeira wine are used in cooking all over the world by the BEST chefs in the planet due to their quality and are some of the best fortified wines in the world. What you suppose is meaningless considering that these wines are worldwide brands. Fish markets smell like fish? Who would have thought captain obvious! If you think that staying in Portugal for a few days gives you a good idea of our cuisine you're sadly mistaken and this is true for every country in the world. You need to come to Alentejo to experience the best portuguese food, not Lisboa or Porto and you need to come to the interior or north to experience the best cheeses and some of the best cured meats you'll ever eat.
See? That's how clueless you are. www.theguardian.com/society/2016/sep/02/mediterranean-diet-obesity-health-way-of-eating "In 2013, Unesco listed the Mediterranean diet as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity in Cyprus, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Morocco and Portugal."
Mark, we grew up with Bacalao fritters, but sometimes we didn't have the fish (We grew up relatively poor) so we just made the fritters as best we could with flour, salt, pepper, adobo and sazon (Some spanish seasonings.) and we just fried them in oil, we lovingly called them bacalaitos lol.
Olive oil is excellent & will not kill you. On the contrary! If we think of duck fat, ghee, pure butter, lard etc; these are the true health risk oils/fats.@@rubencampos6136
Seeing you actually apreciating Portuguese food makes me extremely proud of a culture that unfortunately is slowly forgeting about it's culinary heritage. Obrigado!
I think Portugal is the best tour of Mark in Europe so far. It's no coincidence since Portugal has, along with Spain and Italy the best cuisines in Europe.
Actually, all of Europe has the best food, every individual country. Most of these are very old countries with rich history, well refined culinary techniques that took centuries to perfect, and many of these countries were explorers at some point, so they enriched their own culinary traditions with ingredients and techniques from far away lands. The only reason why Portugal, France and Italy have more renown than other European countries is that they all dominated the rest of Europe at some point and travelled more, so they got to export their culture a lot more, too. These countries don't have the best cuisines, they have the most famous cuisines, and that's not the same thing. Look up Mark's videos in Hungary and THEN tell me that the Portuguese food is better. The fact is, all cultures have culinary culture, no people on this planet like to eat bland, boring food, and all peoples strive to make the best possible dishes.
Love how friendly and happy you are. You always seem to meet/attract such friendly and helpful people as well. Can't wait to experience all the amazing places you've shared with us first-hand. Thank you Mark and Ying for another great video! (:
@@oaoJ69Joao bitter person, I also live here and, yes, it IS dreamy. You are just the kind of person who thinks that everybody lives or should live like you. Go to the pharmacy, dude!
@@vp2794 You don't know how I live, I can't complain about my life. But the majority of people in Lisbon have a not so dreamy life. Maybe you should start caring about other people other than you.
24:30 so the urbanistic style of this kind of street comes from the 17th century with the barroque style where the streets are seen as the main centerpiece of the city with large boulevards usually equipped with treelines and in a very straight direction which connect different main plazas of the city center.
Jesus Christ Our saviour I could not find any decent food in Portugal. Had to go Asian during my stay. Anywho, Spanish & Italian are sooooo much better.
Many people ask why Mark and Ying show so much appreciation for food they eat around the world. Very simple. They don’t stroll randomly. They precisely search the best places known internationally (or almost by the locals) to be the most representative of that specific food culture. Simple but effective. For example, that "Catinho do Aziz" place: it's a very simple place, but it's an icon of Mozambican cuisine in Lisbon, and obviously Mark and Ying honestly enjoyed their meal there.
Sou brasileira e adoro comida portuguesa. No Brasil, em geral conhecemos relativamente pouco da comida portuguesa para além do bacalhau, do caldo verde e do cozido. A comida típica de Cabo Verde, São Tomé, Angola e Moçambique, a África que fala português, também é pouco conhecida. Na verdade conhecemos os pratos, mas não sabemos a origem. Eu sei que a moqueca é na verdade angolana, e isso é muito engraçado, pois no Brasil há uma disputa entre capixabas e baianos sobre quem inventou a moqueca. O Caruru também é na verdade angolano. O Pirão é moçambicano. E a feijoada, o mais brasileiros dos pratos, é na verdade portuguesa.
@@diogonascimento7720 O que estou dizendo é que no Brasil não conhecemos muito mais que isso quando se fala em comida portuguesa. Por exemplo, a parte de frutos do mar e pescados que a série do Mark Wiens mostra em Portugal, não é muito conhecida no Brasil. Ou ainda é uma outra situação, o prato é de origem portuguesa ou da África Lusófona, as pessoas conhecem o prato no Brasil, mas não sabem a origem.
A culinária portuguesa aqui no Brasil ainda é muito preservada no Rio de Janeiro, onde há família tradicionalmente portuguesas e armazéns em que os donos portugueses trazem os ingredientes direto de Portugal todo natal.
@@Nat.ali.a Os armazéns vendem produtos de Portugal como sardinhas na conserva, azeites, queijos, embutidos, etc. Alguns botecos tradicionais vendem petiscos portugueses nos acepipes e bolinhos de bacalhau. Mas não tem grande variedade não.
My husband is half Portuguese and my son and I can’t wait to go to Portugal. I’m going to go on a diet just so I can go gain it back when I go to Portugal. I grew up on Bacalao as my parents are from the Caribbean but Portuguese make the best Bacalao I have ever had hands down!!!
Traveling to Portugal May 2018 (first time for me) with 4 other couples for a week, then another week with just my wife and i. I must say, with the research i've done so far, the food part of it looks amazing. Great job Mark. You're providing some damn fine info for us newbies.
peter daigle hey you should really go to porto it's very much worth it. Basically lisbon is way more trendy and porto is just traditional and genuine and has a celtic european look to it. Btw Sintra has the best landscapes and monuments. Hope you have a good time here!!
oh yes for sure, if you come to Portugal, you cant miss Porto, its an amazing city, and actually the people are quite nicer than in Lisbon, everyone will treat you like you're part of the family ^^
Mark, huge portuguese fan here. You MUST try the "Francesinha"! You can find it through Lisbon but it's a more typical dish of Porto. You should also of course try the "Cozido à Portuguesa" which is the most traditional food we have. Glad you are enjoying our food, keep up the great videos!
Remember the first time i ate it when i spent a month in Porto ( btw such a underrated city imo ). After trying it the first time i ate it like 3 times a week for the rest of my stay. insanely good.
A Francesinha foi horrível. The Francesinha was horrible. I even tried it in Porto. My boyfriend and I didn't even finish it; it was that gross. The sauce on top ruined it.
Like most of you, i've watched a lot of Mark Wiens food vlogs, but i've never seen him as happy eating as he is in the Portuguese series. I've eaten in few countries while travelling and Portuguese food is on my top 3. I don't know what is it about, it's probably due to good products + the easy preparation, nothing over-powering the product. But where you eat the best is in small family restaurants further away from the tourist areas, It's cheaper obviously but way tastier.
@Philipa Williams He only went to Lisbon and to very few places...if you want better food go to Porto/north of Portugal, Alentejo, Algarve regions and the portuguese island regions of Azores and Madeira...
Mark Wiens welcome to Portugal🇵🇹 beautiful country,amazing delicious food and friendly people. Enjoy and have a lot fun with your family 🙌God bless you
Queries dizer a comida de trás os montes y Galicia,somos outro país, celtas,gaita de foles, não fado nin flamenco xd mejor que en galicia y trás os montes no se come,y barato
In february I found your videos when i was traveling for the first time away and alone. I just found this video about my city in your channel. I am from portugal and i i loved that you loved my city. i am hotel rececipcionist and before february i never ever traveled, in february i went to barcelona, april went to paris and now in june i will go to rome and i have booked my trip to london to go on september to my birthday. Always alone, i am so in love with travel. addicted, thank you for helping me out in this journey. Beijinhos Catarina.
one of the best episodes Mark., great job!! i made my mind, my next holiday destination is definitely LISBON! thank you Mark for this awesome food tour.
Next time when you eat, boiled Bacalhau and potatoes or chickpeas,make sure you put a good amount of olive oil on the plate first, and then a bit of wine vinegar, some pepper and the garlic diced.Mix that altogether on the plate and then add the bacalhau and the other ingredients! That is the best way to enjoy it.
The Indian/Mozambican/Portuguese lunch looked amazing I would definitely try the samosas and the lamb ribs with coconut rice if I went there thank you so much for the recommendation Mark and Ying!
Great job! Very thorough explanations, and especially the descriptions of the food tasting experience. Seems fantastic, and almost felt like I was there...
Fun to watch video, and your face enjoying your meal. You give enough details to help us appreciate the historical significance. That building of the Cafe was hit with earthquake and tsunami in 1755, so they were founded about thirty years later.
@Tomás Silva And this is not the best program Mark has ever did as it lacks a LOT of portuguese cuisine...someone should call him and do a TRUE portuguese food tour with him and preferably outside of Lisbon, in other cheaper and diversed regions...just saying...
I just discovered your youtube videos a few weeks ago. I have to say they are great. I am a foodie and I enjoy watching you and your family travel to different countries. Thank you for your travels. Be safe during this Covid era.
Omgsh, the food looks so gooood! The samosas and lamb dish 😍. I've only recently found your channel and I have to say that your vlogs are excellent! God bless you, Ying, and Micah!
26:50 it's very traditional in portugal to eat ham with come melon slices because the freshness and sweetness of the melon helps contrast the saltiness and savouriness of the presunto. It's best to grab a piece with lots of fat for this combination and reserve the more lean parts for later to just gnaw and have a longer lasting experience of the presunto

Seeing you actually apreciating Portuguese food makes me extremely proud of a culture that unfortunately is slowly forgeting about it's culinary heritage. Obrigado!
they have a good coffee in Portugal definetly
I think Portugal is the best tour of Mark in Europe so far. It's no coincidence since Portugal has, along with Spain and Italy the best cuisines in Europe.
Anything Mediterranean is the best, I agree. The Balkans has excellent food, too, and Turkey as well.
I my opinion turkish, greece and italian cuisines is much better than the spanish,portuguese and then the rest of Europe .
I wonder what was the opinion of Paul Bocuse.
Greece wins, but yeah Portuguese is good.
Actually, all of Europe has the best food, every individual country. Most of these are very old countries with rich history, well refined culinary techniques that took centuries to perfect, and many of these countries were explorers at some point, so they enriched their own culinary traditions with ingredients and techniques from far away lands.
The only reason why Portugal, France and Italy have more renown than other European countries is that they all dominated the rest of Europe at some point and travelled more, so they got to export their culture a lot more, too. These countries don't have the best cuisines, they have the most famous cuisines, and that's not the same thing.
Look up Mark's videos in Hungary and THEN tell me that the Portuguese food is better. The fact is, all cultures have culinary culture, no people on this planet like to eat bland, boring food, and all peoples strive to make the best possible dishes.
We have a lotta Portugese Restaurants in Goa, India as well. After all it was a Portuguese Colony until 1961
No. Portugese . Can be found in india
Diu Daman, Mangalore, some parts of Kerala, Coastal areas of Maharashtra were ruled by Portuguese as well and people have adopted Portuguese names
@@mariaashley87 I have mentioned as " Portuguese" only.. Check it..
@@Vin_1985 I meant it for Indian Rails portuguese was spelled wrong. Beijo :)
Portuguese* not portugese.
Love how friendly and happy you are. You always seem to meet/attract such friendly and helpful people as well. Can't wait to experience all the amazing places you've shared with us first-hand. Thank you Mark and Ying for another great video! (:
Portugal is very beautiful, it has always been my dream country to visit! 💕
I live here and it's not dreamy at all... It's only good for tourists
You should come, great food, great places to visit, friendly people. Some portuguese people just like to complain a lot. you wont regret it.
@@oaoJ69Joao bitter person, I also live here and, yes, it IS dreamy. You are just the kind of person who thinks that everybody lives or should live like you. Go to the pharmacy, dude!
@@vp2794 You don't know how I live, I can't complain about my life. But the majority of people in Lisbon have a not so dreamy life. Maybe you should start caring about other people other than you.
@@oaoJ69Joao and again, grow up....
24:30 so the urbanistic style of this kind of street comes from the 17th century with the barroque style where the streets are seen as the main centerpiece of the city with large boulevards usually equipped with treelines and in a very straight direction which connect different main plazas of the city center.
You can't beat Portuguese. Simple best food i ever tasted
JD Wisdom thank you 😋☺️
Italian is the best in the world
Jesus Christ Our saviour I could not find any decent food in Portugal. Had to go Asian during my stay. Anywho, Spanish & Italian are sooooo much better.
@@Veronica_Boer What a dolt! hahahaha, how can one be so thick????????
LordCommander Bram super duper jerk, you obviously have no taste buds.
Many people ask why Mark and Ying show so much appreciation for food they eat around the world. Very simple. They don’t stroll randomly. They precisely search the best places known internationally (or almost by the locals) to be the most representative of that specific food culture. Simple but effective. For example, that "Catinho do Aziz" place: it's a very simple place, but it's an icon of Mozambican cuisine in Lisbon, and obviously Mark and Ying honestly enjoyed their meal there.
Lisbon has alot of seafood, i wasnt impressed withe foods how it didnt tie in,?????
Sou brasileira e adoro comida portuguesa. No Brasil, em geral conhecemos relativamente pouco da comida portuguesa para além do bacalhau, do caldo verde e do cozido. A comida típica de Cabo Verde, São Tomé, Angola e Moçambique, a África que fala português, também é pouco conhecida. Na verdade conhecemos os pratos, mas não sabemos a origem. Eu sei que a moqueca é na verdade angolana, e isso é muito engraçado, pois no Brasil há uma disputa entre capixabas e baianos sobre quem inventou a moqueca. O Caruru também é na verdade angolano. O Pirão é moçambicano. E a feijoada, o mais brasileiros dos pratos, é na verdade portuguesa.
O bacalhau, o caldo e o cozido à portuguesa são muito bons mas são só 5% do que é a gastronomia cá, há inúmeros bons pratos cá!!
@@diogonascimento7720
O que estou dizendo é que no Brasil não conhecemos muito mais que isso quando se fala em comida portuguesa. Por exemplo, a parte de frutos do mar e pescados que a série do Mark Wiens mostra em Portugal, não é muito conhecida no Brasil.
Ou ainda é uma outra situação, o prato é de origem portuguesa ou da África Lusófona, as pessoas conhecem o prato no Brasil, mas não sabem a origem.
Mas todos os pratos portugueses foram melhorados, conheço os dois lados 😉
A culinária portuguesa aqui no Brasil ainda é muito preservada no Rio de Janeiro, onde há família tradicionalmente portuguesas e armazéns em que os donos portugueses trazem os ingredientes direto de Portugal todo natal.
@@Nat.ali.a
Os armazéns vendem produtos de Portugal como sardinhas na conserva, azeites, queijos, embutidos, etc. Alguns botecos tradicionais vendem petiscos portugueses nos acepipes e bolinhos de bacalhau. Mas não tem grande variedade não.
Never underestimate the power of olive oil in portuguese dishes ;p
E tenho dito! Bebo azeite como cerveja!
My ex was Portuguese olive oil in everything salad veg
@@RicardoTroutman Me too!! Haha
oh yeah we do love olive oil
Try, your miss, your miss, like
Lisbon is my city and yes it has amazing cuisine and an amazing culture
Beatriz.B portgual is your city*
Bea Baros you Portuguese?
My husband is half Portuguese and my son and I can’t wait to go to Portugal. I’m going to go on a diet just so I can go gain it back when I go to Portugal. I grew up on Bacalao as my parents are from the Caribbean but Portuguese make the best Bacalao I have ever had hands down!!!
Your reaction of trying pastéis de bacalhau made my day
Ying must be hands down the most patient girl on the planet
ive always wonder if hes high or something.
he is just a lucky guy (Ying) that do what he loves
How much he can eat and still remain slim.
@@devmall8143 this, I would really love to know too.
@Luke Skywalker and why call her that? I'm just curious.
Portugal is a very underrated country when it comes to its cuisine as well as its amazing tourist attractions
I been in Portugal twice already,and it's really amazing,the food is great.
Its great to see you Mark, hope you're enjoying your trip to the fullest.
Love and Best Wishes from India.
It so entertaining listening to you. I love how you describe each food and how they taste. You bring positive vibes. Thank you for sharing this.
Traveling to Portugal May 2018 (first time for me) with 4 other couples for a week, then another week with just my wife and i.
I must say, with the research i've done so far, the food part of it looks amazing.
Great job Mark. You're providing some damn fine info for us newbies.
peter daigle hey you should really go to porto it's very much worth it. Basically lisbon is way more trendy and porto is just traditional and genuine and has a celtic european look to it. Btw Sintra has the best landscapes and monuments. Hope you have a good time here!!
oh yes for sure, if you come to Portugal, you cant miss Porto, its an amazing city, and actually the people are quite nicer than in Lisbon, everyone will treat you like you're part of the family ^^
We've got Porto on our list. We're there for 2 nights.
peter daigle you will have a lot of fun. If you got time go to azores sao miguel cheera
I'd like to hear how it was?
Mark, huge portuguese fan here. You MUST try the "Francesinha"! You can find it through Lisbon but it's a more typical dish of Porto. You should also of course try the "Cozido à Portuguesa" which is the most traditional food we have.
Glad you are enjoying our food, keep up the great videos!
The Lemon Prophet Indeed.. Francesinha is the best sandwich in the world !
The Lemon Prophet you need to try one at Braga city!
The Lemon Prophet Francesinhas will always be the most authentic in their origin place, so it's better if he went to Porto to taste them
Remember the first time i ate it when i spent a month in Porto ( btw such a underrated city imo ). After trying it the first time i ate it like 3 times a week for the rest of my stay. insanely good.
A Francesinha foi horrível. The Francesinha was horrible. I even tried it in Porto. My boyfriend and I didn't even finish it; it was that gross. The sauce on top ruined it.
Muito boa a comida de Portugal! Saudações do Brasil!

Like most of you, i've watched a lot of Mark Wiens food vlogs, but i've never seen him as happy eating as he is in the Portuguese series.
I've eaten in few countries while travelling and Portuguese food is on my top 3.
I don't know what is it about, it's probably due to good products + the easy preparation, nothing over-powering the product.
But where you eat the best is in small family restaurants further away from the tourist areas, It's cheaper obviously but way tastier.
@Philipa Williams He only went to Lisbon and to very few places...if you want better food go to Porto/north of Portugal, Alentejo, Algarve regions and the portuguese island regions of Azores and Madeira...
@Philipa Williams looks like he is enjoying it. Portuguese food is great asf don’t be jealous lol
Mark Wiens welcome to Portugal🇵🇹 beautiful country,amazing delicious food and friendly people. Enjoy and have a lot fun with your family 🙌God bless you
I miss the Portuguese food and all the delicious Portuguese cakes and Portugal - everything there is amazing 🙏🏻🇵🇹😍💖😘
me too. Let's go to Portugal, Soniaa!
Good thing the first restaurant was closed and you explored more places. Great tour of Portuguese food, made me hungry ;)
I really like the way you just keep smiling!
La comida portuguesa es deliciosa, de gran calidad y a buen precio. Un saludo de España

In february I found your videos when i was traveling for the first time away and alone.
I just found this video about my city in your channel. I am from portugal and i i loved that you loved my city.
i am hotel rececipcionist and before february i never ever traveled, in february i went to barcelona, april went to paris and now in june i will go to rome and i have booked my trip to london to go on september to my birthday. Always alone, i am so in love with travel. addicted, thank you for helping me out in this journey.
Beijinhos Catarina.
Wow. I am so proud and jealous of you.
one of the best episodes Mark., great job!! i made my mind, my next holiday destination is definitely LISBON! thank you Mark for this awesome food tour.
How did it go?
watching this in end of 2021 with a tear in my eye, i miss my home country so much and the food, thank you
Booked my trip to spain and Portugal! This video series was definitely my inspiration
How was it?
Portugal is extraordinarily beautiful country!!
I was so hungry watching you eat those various Portuguese foods. Great presentation, Mark.
vou escrever em português..... não há outra forma de dizê-lo: a vida deste homem! Top!
ua-cam.com/video/r1oVA9A9cYo/v-deo.html
I love your energy and enthusiasm with all of the food and history!!!
I grew up with this food so seeing that you enjoy the culture and food makes my heart warm ♥️
Next time when you eat, boiled Bacalhau and potatoes or chickpeas,make sure you put a good amount of olive oil on the plate first, and then a bit of wine vinegar, some pepper and the garlic diced.Mix that altogether on the plate and then add the bacalhau and the other ingredients! That is the best way to enjoy it.
same thinking :-)
Pois é 👌
You need lots of olive oil and same red wine VINEGAR the best we Portuguese know how to est the bacalhau dish of course you need red wine VINEGAR
Thank you.
was a good presentation . Lisboa is my next city trip . thanks for sharing .
I love this guy spirit. He's vibe is amazing. I so enjoy watching he's shows.
I love your reaction when you like a meal.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Try,pica,caralho,
The Indian/Mozambican/Portuguese lunch looked amazing I would definitely try the samosas and the lamb ribs with coconut rice if I went there thank you so much for the recommendation Mark and Ying!
Thanks for sharing your journey. Lisbon is on my bucket list. I see your expression every time you take a bite.. 😋❤ enjoy!!
You know he likes the food when he tries it and starts falling to the side
Lol
hahahaha it’s kinda weird don’t you think?
😂😂 yes!!
😄😄😄👍
It’s called a signature move bruh. Almost 7 million subscribers
Great job! Very thorough explanations, and especially the descriptions of the food tasting experience. Seems fantastic, and almost felt like I was there...
I love the way mark close his eyes leans forward and smiles once he tastes the food . Magic. LOL
Fun to watch video, and your face enjoying your meal. You give enough details to help us appreciate the historical significance. That building of the Cafe was hit with earthquake and tsunami in 1755, so they were founded about thirty years later.
Thank goodness that man was there to tell him to drizzle olive oil on the cod dinner! I cringed when he was eating it dry. I'm so hungry now.
@Tomás Silva And this is not the best program Mark has ever did as it lacks a LOT of portuguese cuisine...someone should call him and do a TRUE portuguese food tour with him and preferably outside of Lisbon, in other cheaper and diversed regions...just saying...
I just discovered your youtube videos a few weeks ago. I have to say they are great. I am a foodie and I enjoy watching you and your family travel to different countries. Thank you for your travels. Be safe during this Covid era.
Omgsh, the food looks so gooood! The samosas and lamb dish 😍. I've only recently found your channel and I have to say that your vlogs are excellent! God bless you, Ying, and Micah!
hi Mark hope Ying and the baby is doing well,great video as always
26:50 it's very traditional in portugal to eat ham with come melon slices because the freshness and sweetness of the melon helps contrast the saltiness and savouriness of the presunto. It's best to grab a piece with lots of fat for this combination and reserve the more lean parts for later to just gnaw and have a longer lasting experience of the presunto
Yummy
I'm Portuguese and I'm watching this with my friend that doesn't understand English really well,but, she understands him!😄
ua-cam.com/video/r1oVA9A9cYo/v-deo.html
I can imagine how the food tastes just by the way Mark describes them oh and i can even taste them😂😂😂
I'm at home in the U.K, watching this guy eating the best food in the world " bacalhau" anddd it's literally creating water in my mouth 😂😂 fodaseee
Oh i really miss my country's food :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the guy on the side "more, more"
Yup, in portugal we bathe food in olive oil
Português food is just awesome amazing I love Portuguese food
