No one knows a city or country without tasting specific things of their gastronomy, and you certainly won’t know Lisbon if you won’t try, for example, a bifana or prego. You might not like it, but you have to try it if you want to really know the city. Then, we need to think of food as means to reach and be reached by other cultures, and for that to happen, I have to tell you how wine was always part of our culture; how we love fishy food since the beginning of civilization; I have to talk about garum, tempura, vindaloo, malasada, samosas, and other things you wouldn’t dream they are Portuguese related, such as codfish, an ingredient we love so much that we call it "our trustworthy friend", although you can’t find any cod nowhere near Portuguese waters. I know, everyone talks about the custard tarts and sour cherry brandy, and they are great, but I’ll always tell the whole story, and I guess that’s what makes me a good food tour guide. Come and try!
- The tour will start at Chiado, where youy'll be given an introduction to portuguese food history; - We'll then have the first sweet tasting, a chocolate related experience that has become world wide famous; - After, we'll walk downhill till Ribeira area, where we can see the traditional food market, and have 2 or 3 savory tastings; - Then, we will walk through Arsenal Street, where we can explore a typical grocery historical shop, and where you can chose with me what to taste; - Afterwards, we'll try the famous portuguese "chorizo firefighter style"; - We'll then walk through Baixa neighbourhood, where we can talk about the sequence of civilizations and peoples who influenced our gastronomy and were influenced by it; - We'll finish the tour with a sweet note and a beverage that will help you energize for the rest of the day;
