francesinha... the speciality of porto







unbelievable... do you know what the speciality dish in porto is ?
it's right up my street, that's what it is.

it's called a francesinha.

it's basically a big-ass meatfest sandwich covered in cheese, with gravy / sauce poured over it.

let me explain... here's jess's francesinha on saturday. this is the standard version.







here she peels back the cheese covered bread to reveal...
a big steak with ham on top of it






underneath the steak is...
some chorizo on a bed of ham and another layer of cheese.






i had the special francesinha
which was the same but with an extra layer of chicken inside it... and a fried egg on top.


naturally i ordered a side portion of chips too.

genius !

porto i salute you .
