In reply to Jennifer Bogart. You're quite right Jennifer... traditional food in Portugal is heavy on seafood, poultry and eggs. The best bet for vegans is to focus on side dishes. Many of those feature beans (lupini), milho frito ( fried cornmeal) and tomato rice. There's also gazpacho but you'll need to request they hold the dairy topping.

Nice post! I am planning a surprise trip to Portugal for my wife & kids. I even applied for a Portugal Visa UK so all I need is the visa and we will be jetting off to Portugal in no time. Meanwhile, I was looking for some nice tips about traditional Portugal food & drinks when I came across your post. I will be using your blog as a reference to explore & relish some of the most popular gastronomical delights of Portugal.

I’ve heard of this dish but didn’t know there are a thousand bacalhau recipes. Perfectly delicious!

It all makes me so hungry and wishing I could hop a flight to Portugal. Would love the seafood of course but the soup and tarts would have me going home pounds heavier. As I’ve been leaning into cocktails recently, the ‘fire water’ would definitely be enjoyed.

OMG, it is almost lunch time here in Hawaii and I’m just dying seeing all those delicious dishes and could eat it all up, starting with all the yummy seafood there.

Why do I torture myself by reading your delectable articles prior to lunch? The food photos are mouth-watering and everything is picture perfect. I do have to ask myself if the Christmas Cake is the basis for the ever popular fruitcake that has become a holiday tradition.
