Next stop: Cantinho do Aziz, serving Mozambique and Indian fusion cuisine, representing the colonial heritage of Portugal. Served was beef samosas and shrimp curry. No photos of the food. It disappeared to fast! ?#ReleaseNotes2023 #food
This stop is my favorite so far. Bacalhoaria Silva has specialized in dried cod, ham, cheese and wine since 1890. The ham we had (the Portuguese version of Iberico ham) melts in your mouth, and the wine was fantastic—and only €7.50 per 750ml retail! #Releasenotes2023 #wine
The first official event of #ReleaseNotes2023 is a food tour around Lisbon. First stop was for bifana (pork sandwiches) at Beira Gare, near Rossio train station.
Yesterday, Heather and I made a day trip to the Alentejo region of Portugal. First stop: Herdade do Rocim winery in Cuba to learn about amphora wines. The wines were nice, but we both agreed that the wines weren’t as aromatic as we are used to. #wine (Vila de Frades, Beja, Portugal)
