With different names as well. So there aren't two main versions of Açorda, but yes two different dishes of Alentejo :)<br /><br />The first with entire bread slice and with egg is 'Açorda'. <br /><br />The other one with the bread all mixed (in that case you've got 'Gambas' but you can have other things as well you can eat themes for example with 'carne do alguidar' (pork meat) a very typical dish) and this one it calls 'Migas' :)Catiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707718777763695961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817129952848096719.post-3461216115084186222012-12-04T09:01:34.521+00:002012-12-04T09:01:34.521+00:00I agree with HCarvalho.
Every tourist (i work in ...I agree with HCarvalho.<br /><br />Every tourist (i work in the industry) that really travels in Portugal will love Lisbon and the South but... North in special.<br /><br />Northern Portugal is a world apart from the rest. The climate in completely different, the landscape is crazy beautiful, vegetation is almost exotic when comparing it to souther regions, people speak differently and LIVE differently.<br /><br />Being the cradle of Portugal, the region where the country started, it is home to many of the oldest traditions and authentic particularities.<br /><br />Everyone will tell you that in the North is where you can eat the best in Portugal. And cheaper. In any restaurant you can literally feast with the best dishes for less than 20€.<br /><br />And the wines? As you must Know, a little region with 3 unique wines in the world. Port wine, Vinho Verde and Alvarinho. These 2 (Alvarinho is part of the Vinhos Verdes but is so unique that people refers to it singularly) are booming in international markets and are collecting medals in any exposition they are represented.<br /><br />Many tourists absolutely love the North because it's everything they didn't expect it to be. Range of Mountains near the sea, a blooming vegetations and shades of green split by many rivers. Cities, towns and villages everywhere you look, archaeological sites from pre-roman times are everywhere, monuments older than the country are in every single town.<br /><br />All this diversity and color gives the North a unique character and feeling that surprise any visitor. And this diversity also creates a huge panoply of foods and wines unmatched anywhere else.O Galaicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000532371118254152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817129952848096719.post-17790027509773794642012-07-31T10:17:54.510+01:002012-07-31T10:17:54.510+01:00You should try food from Northern Portugal, it'...You should try food from Northern Portugal, it's the best from portuguese cuisine, way better than typical food from Lisbon and AlentejoHCarvalhonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817129952848096719.post-40795577257572960222012-07-10T15:11:05.599+01:002012-07-10T15:11:05.599+01:00Hey there!
