On this corner of Europe, this is a standard and normal working day. Actually, there's a strike of the subway workers, today... even more traffic... great! -.-'
Anyway... On Christmas, there are a few traditional dishes from which families choose
- Bacalhau - look it up on google, you can grill it, roast it, boil it... christmas version is boiled with some boiled veggies and potatoes.... olive oil to help lubricate everything.
- Cabrito - young goat.. can't remember if there's a proper english word for it. Usually, roasted.
- Perú - that's turkey, the bird, not the country. Yes we too have some tradition of having a huge turkey served to the whole family... and then leftovers for a while.
The leftovers, mostly from the boiled bacalhau and veggies, gain the name "roupa velha" (old clothes) and we eat that for the remaining days...
hmmm.. bacalhau, how about a pic?
that one is missing olive oil....
here's a better one!
