the francesinha challenge







in the place where we had our francesinhas the other day, i noticed
a special challenge that was on offer.
if you can eat their mega francesinha in under an hour, they will give you 
a les paul electric guitar.







and there it was... on display taunting the diners
as my ex teacher ginny will tell you, my guitar skills are legendary.
the way i played 'jolene' the dolly parton song used to bring tears to her eyes...
( it made her ears bleed too but i take that as a compliment )

i fancied winning the guitar so i asked a waiter for a description of the mega francesinha.
he told me that it is basically 5 francesinhas arranged on a massive plate !
many people have tried to eat it, but none so far had succeeded.

i just walked away.
