Why did the english start to eat chinese, indian italian food etc, BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP and much better than the standard english meat and two veg that was all that could be had in those days. Ethnic foods are definetely of a higher quality in the UK than is usually to be had in Portugal. Good quali...

My views came from cosch drivers who took groups to the alps skiing, it was always much easier for the downhillers to get going again than it is for the uphillers. Try starting your car on ice uphill to see what they meant. Mind you on the Benagil hil I think that all it means is I have a bigger car...

I was always told that in hilly areas the traffic travelling down hill gave way to that moving uphill. NOT in Portugal, cars driving down to Benagil just keep coming ingnore spaces they can pull into forcing we uphillers to reverse until we can find somewhere to pull in.

I think you will find that in most restaraunts the cataplana container ( cataplana is not a recipe but a container ) is not used to cook the ingredients but just as a way of presenting it to the table. Those you see for sale are normally for display only and would not stand up to the heat necessary ...

We will be having our dish fitted in a couple of weeks time ( not this company ). We were told to bring our card with us as it it getting harder for local companies to obtain these.
