This is a Portuguese sandwich, although it’s from further north in the city of Porto.?
?
It’s made with bread, many layers of meats (such as wet-cured ham, linguiça, fresh sausage, steak, roast meat) covered with melted cheese and a hot, thick, spiced beer sauce. ?
?
Then, if that wasn’t enough richness, meat, and cholesterol, it’s served over french fries with an egg on top. ?
?
It’s an important dish here in Portugal, and gives a pretty accurate view of how meat-centric Portuguese food can often be. ?
