I just remember a sandwich covered in melted cheese with an egg on top and some kind of sauce. And a lot of delicious fried food. Both usually with fries as a side dish. Never any salad unless I specifically ordered it. I'm sure I could have gone to lots of restaurants where they would have had lighter meals, but I was on holiday so greasy was perfect.

Francesinha.

You can get those swimming in a pool of fat and you can get it very lean and clean.

You've been to Porto, right?

The make or break for that dish is the sauce. Some people can make it very heavy and some are capable of making it very light. Just know the amount of booze it goes in it could fuel a small plane.

Then comes the cheese and some places just overdo it. Four or five thin slices are enough but I do know some places throw half a block over every sandwhich.

I apologise for the fries. That's fast food influence. And the egg was unexpected; that's an addition from the croque madame.

Hope you had fun here.
