Francesinha (smoked meats and cheese sandwich) 😋😋😋😋😋 Just when you thought sandwiches in Portugal couldn’t get any more fantastic—here comes the Francesinha, a Porto institution. With slight similarities to the croque-monsieur, it’s believed the Francesinha (little Frenchie) was created by a Portuguese emigrant upon his return to Porto from France. A regular on best international sandwich lists, the Francesinha is a glutton’s dream. A variation of ham, Linguica and fresh sausage are layered in between two thick slices of bread and topped with melted cheese. The sandwich is nestled in a tangy beer sauce, and sometimes topped with a fried egg. Versions vary from restaurant to restaurant, which all keep their beer sauce and special touch secret. Some also get creative with seafood and other ingredients. My introduction to the Francesinha was at Capa Negra, after a jaw-dropping boat tour down the Douro River—a trip that opened up our appetites big time....... #Portugal
