There are a few special dishes which require you acquire the taste for them, but everything else is just plain old GOOD!
Here are a few ways Bacalhau gets served (a kind of cod fish, salted right after fishing for old-timey style conservation and it seems only the portuguese are allowed to eat this fish, for it is listed as endangered):
A nice whole piece of fish with boiled and then slightly roasted potatoes - the skin gets crackly and you're supposed to open it by punching the potato (try not to make a mess, it's impolite). Olive oil, everywhere!
Now you're talking. I do like trying new dishes .. but no Haggis, thank you anyway.
