Tuesday evening (04/28/2015)

This evening we decided to go out and eat in town to test local gastronomy. The small restaurant where we ate was great, we were welcomed like kings (everywhere the Portuguese are very friendly and want to please us :).

Here is our menu:
-first course: bread with local cheese and bacon inside. It was so good that some students even ate the crust!


-soup "Acorda": typically Portuguese with beans, cabbage, spices and pork...


-calf with mushroom and cream, home-made chips and rice


-dessert: choice between chocolate mousse, "seradoura" (evaporated milk, light mousse of egg white, and biscuit with crushed biscuit) or the famous "baba de camelo" (evaporated milk and caramel). Some students who ate this dessert were very happy to learn the meaning of this name : camel drool. With the fatigue, or maybe it was humour (?), one French student dared ask if it was really drool from a camel! A Portuguese student answered vey seriously : "of course, the camels are attached behind the building!"
End of the evening around a drink with the Portuguese students and a game of table soccer, won by French students of course. The cheek of one Portuguese is still marked by this event!
    

Once again, a wonderful day, it's now time to go to bed (or maybe it's already time to wake up for the next adventures!!)
