Francesinha

Francesinha is a typical dish originating in Porto, Portugal. The name Francesinha (Translation from portuguese to English is “little French girl”), says the story, is due to the fact that Daniel Silva states that “The hottest woman I know is French”.

Francesinha looks easy to do, but not easy to do a good taste. It has the shape of a sandwich and consists of sausage, fresh sausage, ham, cold meats and beef steak, covered with cheese later melted. It is garnished with a tomato, beer and piri-piri sauce. The accompany of the starry egg on the top of the sandwich and the fries are optional.

It was considered by Aol Travel, a North American megasite on tourist destinations and leisure, one of the 10 best sandwiches of the world, as well as by the British ‘The Culture Trip’ website and the prestigious Spanish travel magazine ‘Condé Nest Traveler‘.
