    I can't believe that this is the final episode! Porto is easily one of my favorite cities I've ever traveled to, and the francesinha is a big part of that. Any idea where I can find one in the states? Willing to travel 🙌

      This vlog just reminded me that I really need to find an excuse to go to Porto once again. And I can give you one excuse to return, beside the francesinha. You missed the Arcádia chocolates. They are sooooooooooo good.

      Please tell me they brought you a second round of francesinha sauce. Pleeeeeeease tell me they re-drenched your francesinha half way through! (If not,I am leaving my house and having a word with café Santiago.) Seriously, the second pour of francesinha sauce is essential.

    The Francesinha coma is a common symptom after eating a full francesinha :)

  • @tosht2515
    @tosht2515 Před 5 lety +33

    Viewers should know that the meats used in a Francesinha vary from restaurant to restaurant. And if this looks slightly similar to a Croque Madame or Croque Monsieur, it's because the Francesinha is Porto's version of those famous French sandwiches. Hence, Francesinha or "little French one." Had one when I visited Portugal...quite tasty indeed.

    • @AdHesiveErmine
      @AdHesiveErmine Před 5 lety +8

      It was a Portuguese immigrant in France that invented the francesinha.

    Porto is a highly underrated city in Portugal. More people should go. The Francesinha sandwich should be on restaurant menus in America.

    Porto is without a doubt one of, if not the best, place to live in the world, we have everything you would want while maintaining the appeal of a smaller historic city, has a river and sea, weather is very balanced and people are incredibly friendly... also Portugal as a whole is one of the safest country’s in the world, always a big plus

    OK... I know that we are all here for the food and travel. But, I just got to say the cinematography is just spot on! From drone shots, panning, close ups to panoramic it just was so well done. Not only did this episode make me hungry and long for a visit to Portugal but, it please my sense of art. Man! I gotta say those Harris's are indeed a talented group of people! Obrigado! (the only word I know other than "oi" )

    Thank you for visiting us! Cheers!!!

And those "Francesinhas" (I'm nearly embarrassed to say) -- had me absolutely mouthwatering just by looking at them... (Man, I need to get one of those in my tummy!)
    You were in one of my favorite areas of Portugal, but you need to spend more time north (Minho) and east (Alto Douro) of Porto, next time if you want to truly immerse yourselves in the gastronomic traditions of that area of the country.
    Great editing, choice of music, and presentation style, as per usual. Keep it up!
