Tuesday, June 10, 2008

So what are we supposed to do on the Portuguese national holiday? Recite out loud Os Lusíadas? Or is there something more fun to do?

Tecumseh said...: How about eating that famed Portuguese dish that is the epitome of both non-hallal and of cholesterol-induced heart attack? Something with shrimps and pork and stuff -- it sounds delicious, but I can never remember the name.; 6/10/2008 8:34 AM
Mr roT said...: This? Go get some.; 6/10/2008 8:47 AM
Tecumseh said...: Close, but no cigar. Needs seafood combined with the pork to really give a heart attack to the hallals. Perhaps this?; 6/10/2008 9:07 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Guys, your really talking about the same dish. Note that it is mixture of pork and clams, with paprika as a main spice.
If cooked right, it is absolutely delicious. If it is cooked as at the Atasca restaurant in Cambridge it is a lousy fraud which gravely insults Luis de Camoes, who as a young man lost an eye in combat with Pepe's homies in order that Portuguese would continue to be free to consume delicious viands and seafoods.; 6/11/2008 2:19 AM
