Your facial expressions when eating are legendary. Having worked in over 70 countries and tried all their cuisines I can honestly say very few come close to Portuguese food. Not only is it extremely healthy but you can eat it everyday without feeling bloated. The Portuguese are very spoiled when it comes to food..
The man who was sitting by your side at the restaurant teaching you how to eat the cod fish is one of the best researchers and college professors of Lisbon :O
After my country Peru, Portugal has the best gastronomy i tasted...my god, i have eaten all, everything , and the people is very very friendly and kind, i was in Porto, Faro and Lisboa... i loved it Portugal....
Que aburrida me tienen con mi comida es mejor que la tuya. Soy cubana y mi comida NO ES NI REMOTAMENTE LA MEJOR. Soy la única honesta. He comido peruana, buena y mala que la he dejado en el plato. He comido portugués, que al otro día si me preguntan, no recuerdo que comí. He comido en Rusia, en Turquía, en Israel, riquísimo genuino mediterráneo. Italia es #1 Que aburrida de verdad.

Eating at restaurants with communal tables as a tourist in a foreign country has always been a great experience. The locals are always friendly and eager to help tourists with the menu, make suggestions etc. It always enhances the experience to know what to order and how to eat it.
Mad respect for Portugal, and Lisboa in particular, homeland of the giant of the mind Fernando Pessoa. Cheers from Italy, I hope I can visit Rua dos douradores and the Café A Brasileira one day.
I think Portugal is the best tour of Mark in Europe so far. It's no coincidence since Portugal has, along with Spain and Italy the best cuisines in Europe.
Actually, all of Europe has the best food, every individual country. Most of these are very old countries with rich history, well refined culinary techniques that took centuries to perfect, and many of these countries were explorers at some point, so they enriched their own culinary traditions with ingredients and techniques from far away lands. The only reason why Portugal, France and Italy have more renown than other European countries is that they all dominated the rest of Europe at some point and travelled more, so they got to export their culture a lot more, too. These countries don't have the best cuisines, they have the most famous cuisines, and that's not the same thing. Look up Mark's videos in Hungary and THEN tell me that the Portuguese food is better. The fact is, all cultures have culinary culture, no people on this planet like to eat bland, boring food, and all peoples strive to make the best possible dishes.
if you love seafood, you'll enjoy your culinary experience in Portugal..but the Portuguese also make great bread, pastries, olive oil, olives, cheeses, cured hams, sausages, rice dishes...
Many youtubers speak fastly so lots of people who are not really good at English like me sometimes get hard to follow and understand all what they say, but Mark is not. He knows how to keep the presentation at a medium speed so that watchers can afford to get it easily.
For a full three and a half years straight, Septembro 1978 until 16 Marco 1982, I ate Portuguese food in dozens of restaurants all over Lisboa and at Monte Gordo, Algarve. Amo os Portugueses. Saudacoes, felicidades. I lived in a pensao, and two campismos, the Lisboa municipal Monsanto with city bus service, and the camping at Monte Gordo near Spain. Viva o Portugal. Deus vos abencoe.
Im doing my family tree, and found out that while i always knew my grandma on my dad's side is mexican, i just found out my grandad, Frank, his parents are from Portugal. So im learning about Portugal😊 and the food (I LOVE foreign cuisine, and i always found the best way to learn about a culture is by its food -- thats how I came to love Ethiopian cuisine)😀💖 That said, your ebthusiasm makes me want to get my passport and make a spontaneous trip to Portugal😀
Olive oil is excellent & will not kill you. On the contrary! If we think of duck fat, ghee, pure butter, lard etc; these are the true health risk oils/fats.@@rubencampos6136
FYI the garlic is supposed to be chopped very thinly with the onion, lots of olive oil and just a sip of vinegar then you add chopped parsley. Then you season the Codfish with that "sauce". This is the right way to do it.
My friend (who isn't Portuguese) has traveled to different countries every two years and he said Portuguese food was the best he's had among all the countries he's been
@@AgrippaMaxentius No Brasil também há dobradas. Nós chamamos de "dobradinha" que é o bucho do boi ensopado com batatas, feijão branco, embutidos (acho que em Portugal é enchidos), salsinha e pimenta do reino. Eu adoro dobradinha! Ja vi tripas a moda do Porto na TV. Era uma entrevista com o chef de um restaurante na Cidade do Porto chamado "O Pombeiro". Lá também tinha a tal francesinha só que com massa folheada. Eu adoraria experimentar.
I lived in Lisboa in 2011/2012. Esta video me lembras de todas de cozinha maravilhosa. So glad you enjoyed yourself, Mark! And yes -- the coffee is so underrated! My Portuguese ex-husband used to say there were three things Portuguese worshipped: coffee, football, and beer, and not in that order.
Many people ask why Mark and Ying show so much appreciation for food they eat around the world. Very simple. They don’t stroll randomly. They precisely search the best places known internationally (or almost by the locals) to be the most representative of that specific food culture. Simple but effective. For example, that "Catinho do Aziz" place: it's a very simple place, but it's an icon of Mozambican cuisine in Lisbon, and obviously Mark and Ying honestly enjoyed their meal there.
Seeing you actually apreciating Portuguese food makes me extremely proud of a culture that unfortunately is slowly forgeting about it's culinary heritage. Obrigado!
Jesus Christ Our saviour I could not find any decent food in Portugal. Had to go Asian during my stay. Anywho, Spanish & Italian are sooooo much better.
Sou brasileira e adoro comida portuguesa. No Brasil, em geral conhecemos relativamente pouco da comida portuguesa para além do bacalhau, do caldo verde e do cozido. A comida típica de Cabo Verde, São Tomé, Angola e Moçambique, a África que fala português, também é pouco conhecida. Na verdade conhecemos os pratos, mas não sabemos a origem. Eu sei que a moqueca é na verdade angolana, e isso é muito engraçado, pois no Brasil há uma disputa entre capixabas e baianos sobre quem inventou a moqueca. O Caruru também é na verdade angolano. O Pirão é moçambicano. E a feijoada, o mais brasileiros dos pratos, é na verdade portuguesa.
@@diogonascimento7720 O que estou dizendo é que no Brasil não conhecemos muito mais que isso quando se fala em comida portuguesa. Por exemplo, a parte de frutos do mar e pescados que a série do Mark Wiens mostra em Portugal, não é muito conhecida no Brasil. Ou ainda é uma outra situação, o prato é de origem portuguesa ou da África Lusófona, as pessoas conhecem o prato no Brasil, mas não sabem a origem.
A culinária portuguesa aqui no Brasil ainda é muito preservada no Rio de Janeiro, onde há família tradicionalmente portuguesas e armazéns em que os donos portugueses trazem os ingredientes direto de Portugal todo natal.
@@Nat.ali.a Os armazéns vendem produtos de Portugal como sardinhas na conserva, azeites, queijos, embutidos, etc. Alguns botecos tradicionais vendem petiscos portugueses nos acepipes e bolinhos de bacalhau. Mas não tem grande variedade não.
The bread thing is soaked stale bread that is fried in lard and seasoned with loads of garlic, cilantro, and paprika. It's called açorda or migas in some places over here. Most of our food is very simple, filling and made from simple ingredients. It's food created to maximize every scrap, as Portugal has been a relatively poor country for ages. We still eat like we're going to plow a field.
undo.kat bullshit Our pork is one of the best in the world (according to Bourdain the second best in the world and that man knows his pork) and so is our charcoal chicken with piri piri. Our bread and pastries are also some of the best in the world and things like tempura were invented by us. Our cheeses are awesome (Castelo Branco/ Serra da estrela/Açores) and have won countless awards in europe and so is our presunto. Francesinha is considered one of the best sandwiches in the world and we also have some of the best wines in the world (Porto and Madeira) and yes some of the best seafood oh and José Avillez just won best chef of the year award. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
No, I mean considered one of the best sandwiches in the world by many www.shortlist.com/news/the-worlds-10-best-sandwiches/39073 and is a portuguese dish no matter what you say and here is another portuguese sandwich: bifana www.traveller.com.au/the-worlds-greatest-sandwiches-and-where-to-eat-them-gzp0ag. Heart strokes? We have a mediterrean diet which is just considered to be the healthiest in the world so don't worry if we indulge ourselves once or twice a month getjaunty.com/2017/09/07/portuguese-cuisine-perks-of-a-mediterranean-diet/ . Porto and Madeira wine are used in cooking all over the world by the BEST chefs in the planet due to their quality and are some of the best fortified wines in the world. What you suppose is meaningless considering that these wines are worldwide brands. Fish markets smell like fish? Who would have thought captain obvious! If you think that staying in Portugal for a few days gives you a good idea of our cuisine you're sadly mistaken and this is true for every country in the world. You need to come to Alentejo to experience the best portuguese food, not Lisboa or Porto and you need to come to the interior or north to experience the best cheeses and some of the best cured meats you'll ever eat.
See? That's how clueless you are. www.theguardian.com/society/2016/sep/02/mediterranean-diet-obesity-health-way-of-eating "In 2013, Unesco listed the Mediterranean diet as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity in Cyprus, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Morocco and Portugal."
In february I found your videos when i was traveling for the first time away and alone. I just found this video about my city in your channel. I am from portugal and i i loved that you loved my city. i am hotel rececipcionist and before february i never ever traveled, in february i went to barcelona, april went to paris and now in june i will go to rome and i have booked my trip to london to go on september to my birthday. Always alone, i am so in love with travel. addicted, thank you for helping me out in this journey. Beijinhos Catarina.
Mark, we grew up with Bacalao fritters, but sometimes we didn't have the fish (We grew up relatively poor) so we just made the fritters as best we could with flour, salt, pepper, adobo and sazon (Some spanish seasonings.) and we just fried them in oil, we lovingly called them bacalaitos lol.
Thanks for sharing. Bring back memories. I was there last year and found Portugal to be a great destination for food lovers that speak English. I usually try to learn few phrases when I visit a country but didn't get have the chance to use much of it at all. Portuguese are very English friendly.
As Portuguese I was thinking "oh no he is eating the codfish with no olive oil or vinegar" but luckily that man helped! Codfish and vegetables without olive oil just taste very dry
I had the best time of my life in Lisbon and so its REALLY calming to watch this video from you. Its so nice and authentic! It's like being there again :)
I quite agree. The food is wonderful, Lisbon is wonderful and the rest of Portugal is wonderful too. And I've been around a bit . Sometimes I stayed for two months.Portuguese people are bloody great, especially if you try to speak Portuguese. My vocabulary consists of 10 words, but I do know the seafood words.
Love how friendly and happy you are. You always seem to meet/attract such friendly and helpful people as well. Can't wait to experience all the amazing places you've shared with us first-hand. Thank you Mark and Ying for another great video! (:
My husband is half Portuguese and my son and I can’t wait to go to Portugal. I’m going to go on a diet just so I can go gain it back when I go to Portugal. I grew up on Bacalao as my parents are from the Caribbean but Portuguese make the best Bacalao I have ever had hands down!!!
@@oaoJ69Joao bitter person, I also live here and, yes, it IS dreamy. You are just the kind of person who thinks that everybody lives or should live like you. Go to the pharmacy, dude!
@@vp2794 You don't know how I live, I can't complain about my life. But the majority of people in Lisbon have a not so dreamy life. Maybe you should start caring about other people other than you.
Mark, huge portuguese fan here. You MUST try the "Francesinha"! You can find it through Lisbon but it's a more typical dish of Porto. You should also of course try the "Cozido à Portuguesa" which is the most traditional food we have. Glad you are enjoying our food, keep up the great videos!
Remember the first time i ate it when i spent a month in Porto ( btw such a underrated city imo ). After trying it the first time i ate it like 3 times a week for the rest of my stay. insanely good.
A Francesinha foi horrível. The Francesinha was horrible. I even tried it in Porto. My boyfriend and I didn't even finish it; it was that gross. The sauce on top ruined it.
Traveling to Portugal May 2018 (first time for me) with 4 other couples for a week, then another week with just my wife and i. I must say, with the research i've done so far, the food part of it looks amazing. Great job Mark. You're providing some damn fine info for us newbies.
peter daigle hey you should really go to porto it's very much worth it. Basically lisbon is way more trendy and porto is just traditional and genuine and has a celtic european look to it. Btw Sintra has the best landscapes and monuments. Hope you have a good time here!!
oh yes for sure, if you come to Portugal, you cant miss Porto, its an amazing city, and actually the people are quite nicer than in Lisbon, everyone will treat you like you're part of the family ^^
Mark Wiens welcome to Portugal🇵🇹 beautiful country,amazing delicious food and friendly people. Enjoy and have a lot fun with your family 🙌God bless you
Like most of you, i've watched a lot of Mark Wiens food vlogs, but i've never seen him as happy eating as he is in the Portuguese series. I've eaten in few countries while travelling and Portuguese food is on my top 3. I don't know what is it about, it's probably due to good products + the easy preparation, nothing over-powering the product. But where you eat the best is in small family restaurants further away from the tourist areas, It's cheaper obviously but way tastier.
@Philipa Williams He only went to Lisbon and to very few places...if you want better food go to Porto/north of Portugal, Alentejo, Algarve regions and the portuguese island regions of Azores and Madeira...
Next time when you eat, boiled Bacalhau and potatoes or chickpeas,make sure you put a good amount of olive oil on the plate first, and then a bit of wine vinegar, some pepper and the garlic diced.Mix that altogether on the plate and then add the bacalhau and the other ingredients! That is the best way to enjoy it.
Lisbon is a great city. I visited it back in 2014 on a shoestring budget. Would love to go back. It's hilly and very cool/arty with a mix of quaint. Beautiful friendly people. You can stay in some fabulous apartments really cheaply.
Good old days... no social distancing, no masks, no sanitizer. Busy places, crowded streets, all restaurants full of people. Now we live in a never ending desert.
I remember growing up in Queens, NYC my Grandmother & Grandfather (on my dad side ) lived upstairs from us, they were from Sicily in the mid 60's Grandma would on holidays like Christmas & Easter would make a 20-course meal from antipasto, soup, 3 or 4 Fish dishes (Baccala was one of them (mixed in with a tomato sauce with the pasta, Yum), 2 types of Pasta, & 4 -5 different types of meat dishes of beef, pork, chicken, rabbit or whatever the butcher had on hand. I'm 64 now but I miss that. After I was married I moved my family up to NH (in 1982), (my daughters were 4 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old). We used to live in the Seacoast area of NH not too far from Portsmouth, NH, and Kittery, ME. I used to take the kids down to the fishing docks in Portsmouth and buy directly from the boat captains I could get 3-4# Lobsters (for $2.00/#), Crabs, buy a 12-15# whole fresh Atlantic Salmon (sometimes I get a female with the roe sac intact inside and I would make my own salmon egg sushi & gravlax) Codfish, Bluefish, Steamer clams by the bushel, & during the Shrimp season I could get med size Maine sweet shrimp some still had roe sacs on them. I miss those times. my two daughters still live there.
"That has really lifted my spirits" if his spirit was down at any point, I didn't notice. I'm happy just watching him prentend to fall over when he bites into something delicious.
@Tomás Silva And this is not the best program Mark has ever did as it lacks a LOT of portuguese cuisine...someone should call him and do a TRUE portuguese food tour with him and preferably outside of Lisbon, in other cheaper and diversed regions...just saying...
Dude, as a Portuguese, I enjoyed your video and the appreciation you showed for our food but when I saw you eating the codfish without olive oil, my portuguese soul just got crushed! lol I thought, how is no one telling him he needs to add the olive oil!? But then someone did! I knew a fellow portuguese man could never stay indifferent to that! You just have to drown the damn codfish in olive oil. We always say the codfish needs to be swimming in olive oil, that's the proper way to do it. Also, when having coffee, even if you don't add any sugar, you should mix the coffee with the spoon anyway. Not only cause it makes it creamier but also cause if you don't mix it, the coffee surface kind of "burns" the minute after being poured and if left unmixed, it's true and proper flavor and texture will get compromised. I may sound picky but any portuguese people will agree with me. Anyway, great video. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the oldest country in western europe. Have a good day!
Lisbon is so cool and relaxed. Smoking cannabis with the kids in city centre, chilling in the lookout by Principe Real, lovely people. Can't wait to go back and visit other parts of the country too.
Queries dizer a comida de trás os montes y Galicia,somos outro país, celtas,gaita de foles, não fado nin flamenco xd mejor que en galicia y trás os montes no se come,y barato
Actually, we do grow it. Portugal itself is not just the land you see in the map. We had extensions of our current land in Brasil and Africa for 600 hundred years, only to be forced to leave them by European corruption 50 years ago. But our people are still there, producing what they did for 300-400 years ago. Our coffee comes from Brasil, Angola, Moçambique and from our Isles. They are produced by Portuguese companies and refined in Portugal. I love it :p
You had slaves grow it for you. On land that you stole from them in the first place. Then you took the coffee, exported it and got away with all the money. Yes thats true. And criminal.
Fun to watch video, and your face enjoying your meal. You give enough details to help us appreciate the historical significance. That building of the Cafe was hit with earthquake and tsunami in 1755, so they were founded about thirty years later.
Once he had visited our country and ate same food like this and he said that it’s not so healthy food but i have seen he visited so many other countries and ate like this and says that ohh so good, delicious blah blah hehe...please do not take it negatively. Its just compliment.thank you.
Man, our coffee really "portuguesed" you, didn't it? Many of us can't function properly throughout the day without one in the morning. :D Now I know why you looked a bit hyperactive in the videos, two at a time is a heavy dose of cafeine at once! XD I've watched all your Lisbon videos but the way you described and enjoyed our food made me so hungry that I had to watch the rest after lunch or dinner! Anyway, awesome videos and thanks for promoting Lisbon in particular and our food in general in such a pleasant way. : )
26:50 it's very traditional in portugal to eat ham with come melon slices because the freshness and sweetness of the melon helps contrast the saltiness and savouriness of the presunto. It's best to grab a piece with lots of fat for this combination and reserve the more lean parts for later to just gnaw and have a longer lasting experience of the presunto
The same goes for other boiled or grilled portuguese fish dishes and salads...olive oil, vinegar, oregano, coriander, parsley are ALL essential seasonings...
Omgsh, the food looks so gooood! The samosas and lamb dish 😍. I've only recently found your channel and I have to say that your vlogs are excellent! God bless you, Ying, and Micah!

I think Portugal is the best tour of Mark in Europe so far. It's no coincidence since Portugal has, along with Spain and Italy the best cuisines in Europe.
Anything Mediterranean is the best, I agree. The Balkans has excellent food, too, and Turkey as well.
I my opinion turkish, greece and italian cuisines is much better than the spanish,portuguese and then the rest of Europe .
I wonder what was the opinion of Paul Bocuse.
Greece wins, but yeah Portuguese is good.
Actually, all of Europe has the best food, every individual country. Most of these are very old countries with rich history, well refined culinary techniques that took centuries to perfect, and many of these countries were explorers at some point, so they enriched their own culinary traditions with ingredients and techniques from far away lands.

Put more Olive Oil!!!

The best suggestion!
E falou bem. Como a maioria de nós, gostamos, (tugas) a comida tem de ser bem regada com o nosso azeite tradicional
You are abslotutely correct sir, except that's the "I'll die at 50" version of our food.

Olive oil is excellent & will not kill you. On the contrary! If we think of duck fat, ghee, pure butter, lard etc; these are the true health risk oils/fats.@@rubencampos6136

FYI the garlic is supposed to be chopped very thinly with the onion, lots of olive oil and just a sip of vinegar then you add chopped parsley. Then you season the Codfish with that "sauce". This is the right way to do it.

Lisbon is my favourite city in Europe. Everything in it is excellent.
try Oporto and Leiria
I thought oporto was porto xD
@@jnutsart9068 try lisbon, viseu, aveiro, faro, Évora
...well , and mirandela? Braga ... well try all the cities and villages 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@R1IY2N in english it's written Oporto.
I am from Puerto Rico and the bacalao is one of our main dishes too, we also eat it w a good olive oil and root veggies it’s delicious ❤️❤️
Thank you for bringing Portugal to us, what a beautiful sight, and the locals seem to be a lovely people.
Many people ask why Mark and Ying show so much appreciation for food they eat around the world. Very simple. They don’t stroll randomly. They precisely search the best places known internationally (or almost by the locals) to be the most representative of that specific food culture. Simple but effective. For example, that "Catinho do Aziz" place: it's a very simple place, but it's an icon of Mozambican cuisine in Lisbon, and obviously Mark and Ying honestly enjoyed their meal there.
Lisbon has alot of seafood, i wasnt impressed withe foods how it didnt tie in,?????
Seeing you actually apreciating Portuguese food makes me extremely proud of a culture that unfortunately is slowly forgeting about it's culinary heritage. Obrigado!
Never underestimate the power of olive oil in portuguese dishes ;p
E tenho dito! Bebo azeite como cerveja!
My ex was Portuguese olive oil in everything salad veg
@@RicardoTroutman Me too!! Haha
oh yeah we do love olive oil
Try, your miss, your miss, like
You can't beat Portuguese. Simple best food i ever tasted
JD Wisdom thank you 😋☺️
Italian is the best in the world
Jesus Christ Our saviour I could not find any decent food in Portugal. Had to go Asian during my stay. Anywho, Spanish & Italian are sooooo much better.
@@Veronica_Boer What a dolt! hahahaha, how can one be so thick????????
LordCommander Bram super duper jerk, you obviously have no taste buds.
With no doubt we have in Portugal one of the best food in the world, and the most diverse.
Sou brasileira e adoro comida portuguesa. No Brasil, em geral conhecemos relativamente pouco da comida portuguesa para além do bacalhau, do caldo verde e do cozido. A comida típica de Cabo Verde, São Tomé, Angola e Moçambique, a África que fala português, também é pouco conhecida. Na verdade conhecemos os pratos, mas não sabemos a origem. Eu sei que a moqueca é na verdade angolana, e isso é muito engraçado, pois no Brasil há uma disputa entre capixabas e baianos sobre quem inventou a moqueca. O Caruru também é na verdade angolano. O Pirão é moçambicano. E a feijoada, o mais brasileiros dos pratos, é na verdade portuguesa.
O bacalhau, o caldo e o cozido à portuguesa são muito bons mas são só 5% do que é a gastronomia cá, há inúmeros bons pratos cá!!
@@diogonascimento7720
O que estou dizendo é que no Brasil não conhecemos muito mais que isso quando se fala em comida portuguesa. Por exemplo, a parte de frutos do mar e pescados que a série do Mark Wiens mostra em Portugal, não é muito conhecida no Brasil.
Ou ainda é uma outra situação, o prato é de origem portuguesa ou da África Lusófona, as pessoas conhecem o prato no Brasil, mas não sabem a origem.
Mas todos os pratos portugueses foram melhorados, conheço os dois lados 😉
A culinária portuguesa aqui no Brasil ainda é muito preservada no Rio de Janeiro, onde há família tradicionalmente portuguesas e armazéns em que os donos portugueses trazem os ingredientes direto de Portugal todo natal.
@@Nat.ali.a
Os armazéns vendem produtos de Portugal como sardinhas na conserva, azeites, queijos, embutidos, etc. Alguns botecos tradicionais vendem petiscos portugueses nos acepipes e bolinhos de bacalhau. Mas não tem grande variedade não.
Portugal is a very underrated country when it comes to its cuisine as well as its amazing tourist attractions
The bread thing is soaked stale bread that is fried in lard and seasoned with loads of garlic, cilantro, and paprika. It's called açorda or migas in some places over here.
Most of our food is very simple, filling and made from simple ingredients. It's food created to maximize every scrap, as Portugal has been a relatively poor country for ages. We still eat like we're going to plow a field.
You know he likes the food when he tries it and starts falling to the side
Lol
hahahaha it’s kinda weird don’t you think?
😂😂 yes!!
😄😄😄👍
It’s called a signature move bruh. Almost 7 million subscribers
Portugal has the best food
Agree 😉
certainly not.
undo.kat bullshit Our pork is one of the best in the world (according to Bourdain the second best in the world and that man knows his pork) and so is our charcoal chicken with piri piri. Our bread and pastries are also some of the best in the world and things like tempura were invented by us. Our cheeses are awesome (Castelo Branco/ Serra da estrela/Açores) and have won countless awards in europe and so is our presunto. Francesinha is considered one of the best sandwiches in the world and we also have some of the best wines in the world (Porto and Madeira) and yes some of the best seafood oh and José Avillez just won best chef of the year award. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.
No, I mean considered one of the best sandwiches in the world by many www.shortlist.com/news/the-worlds-10-best-sandwiches/39073 and is a portuguese dish no matter what you say and here is another portuguese sandwich: bifana www.traveller.com.au/the-worlds-greatest-sandwiches-and-where-to-eat-them-gzp0ag. Heart strokes? We have a mediterrean diet which is just considered to be the healthiest in the world so don't worry if we indulge ourselves once or twice a month getjaunty.com/2017/09/07/portuguese-cuisine-perks-of-a-mediterranean-diet/ . Porto and Madeira wine are used in cooking all over the world by the BEST chefs in the planet due to their quality and are some of the best fortified wines in the world. What you suppose is meaningless considering that these wines are worldwide brands. Fish markets smell like fish? Who would have thought captain obvious! If you think that staying in Portugal for a few days gives you a good idea of our cuisine you're sadly mistaken and this is true for every country in the world. You need to come to Alentejo to experience the best portuguese food, not Lisboa or Porto and you need to come to the interior or north to experience the best cheeses and some of the best cured meats you'll ever eat.
See? That's how clueless you are.
www.theguardian.com/society/2016/sep/02/mediterranean-diet-obesity-health-way-of-eating
"In 2013, Unesco listed the Mediterranean diet as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity in Cyprus, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Morocco and Portugal."
We have a lotta Portugese Restaurants in Goa, India as well. After all it was a Portuguese Colony until 1961
No. Portugese . Can be found in india
Diu Daman, Mangalore, some parts of Kerala, Coastal areas of Maharashtra were ruled by Portuguese as well and people have adopted Portuguese names

@Luke Skywalker and why call her that? I'm just curious.
Thank you so much for this first hand look at Portuguese life. My daughter is 1/2 Portuguese and I share this with her proudly.
Mark, we grew up with Bacalao fritters, but sometimes we didn't have the fish (We grew up relatively poor) so we just made the fritters as best we could with flour, salt, pepper, adobo and sazon (Some spanish seasonings.) and we just fried them in oil, we lovingly called them bacalaitos lol.
very interesting little "slice of life"
LadyPseudo great story. I bet you still make them and it brings back great memories
I can't find Sazon here in Washington, so... no, I can't make them, but I remember the flavor like it was only yesterday.
Little Fish Of The Garden // Peixinhos Da Horta?
LadyPseudo try Lawry's seasoning salt just add a dash of cumin.
I think as a portuguese hearing mark saying bacalhau it's very funny 😂😂
Tyler joseph Josh dun would you pronounce the B as a V sound, as in Spanish?

Em Lisboa? 1,40 não é mau de todo. Já se começa a ver a 2 euros.
Thanks for sharing. Bring back memories. I was there last year and found Portugal to be a great destination for food lovers that speak English. I usually try to learn few phrases when I visit a country but didn't get have the chance to use much of it at all. Portuguese are very English friendly.
Thank u for american info. Am planning on going to Lisbon and thinking of moving to 🇵🇹 and am 65.
As Portuguese I was thinking "oh no he is eating the codfish with no olive oil or vinegar" but luckily that man helped! Codfish and vegetables without olive oil just taste very dry
I'm Portuguese and I'm watching this with my friend that doesn't understand English really well,but, she understands him!😄

Who's watching this in 2022 and committed to go to portugal 🇵🇹 this coming summer?
I had the best time of my life in Lisbon and so its REALLY calming to watch this video from you. Its so nice and authentic! It's like being there again :)
I quite agree. The food is wonderful, Lisbon is wonderful and the rest of Portugal is wonderful too. And I've been around a bit . Sometimes I stayed for two months.Portuguese people are bloody great, especially if you try to speak Portuguese.
My vocabulary consists of 10 words, but I do know the seafood words.
I lived in Lisboa for some time and absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be visit Portugal, after seeing the food.

My husband is half Portuguese and my son and I can’t wait to go to Portugal. I’m going to go on a diet just so I can go gain it back when I go to Portugal. I grew up on Bacalao as my parents are from the Caribbean but Portuguese make the best Bacalao I have ever had hands down!!!
Portugal is very beautiful, it has always been my dream country to visit! 💕
I live here and it's not dreamy at all... It's only good for tourists
You should come, great food, great places to visit, friendly people. Some portuguese people just like to complain a lot. you wont regret it.

@@vp2794 You don't know how I live, I can't complain about my life. But the majority of people in Lisbon have a not so dreamy life. Maybe you should start caring about other people other than you.
@@oaoJ69Joao and again, grow up....
Mark, huge portuguese fan here. You MUST try the "Francesinha"! You can find it through Lisbon but it's a more typical dish of Porto. You should also of course try the "Cozido à Portuguesa" which is the most traditional food we have.
Glad you are enjoying our food, keep up the great videos!
The Lemon Prophet Indeed.. Francesinha is the best sandwich in the world !
The Lemon Prophet you need to try one at Braga city!
The Lemon Prophet Francesinhas will always be the most authentic in their origin place, so it's better if he went to Porto to taste them
Remember the first time i ate it when i spent a month in Porto ( btw such a underrated city imo ). After trying it the first time i ate it like 3 times a week for the rest of my stay. insanely good.
A Francesinha foi horrível. The Francesinha was horrible. I even tried it in Porto. My boyfriend and I didn't even finish it; it was that gross. The sauce on top ruined it.
I hope things go back to normal soon and we can all travel again!

Traveling to Portugal May 2018 (first time for me) with 4 other couples for a week, then another week with just my wife and i.
I must say, with the research i've done so far, the food part of it looks amazing.
Great job Mark. You're providing some damn fine info for us newbies.
peter daigle hey you should really go to porto it's very much worth it. Basically lisbon is way more trendy and porto is just traditional and genuine and has a celtic european look to it. Btw Sintra has the best landscapes and monuments. Hope you have a good time here!!
oh yes for sure, if you come to Portugal, you cant miss Porto, its an amazing city, and actually the people are quite nicer than in Lisbon, everyone will treat you like you're part of the family ^^
We've got Porto on our list. We're there for 2 nights.
peter daigle you will have a lot of fun. If you got time go to azores sao miguel cheera
I'd like to hear how it was?
Muito boa a comida de Portugal! Saudações do Brasil!

Mark Wiens welcome to Portugal🇵🇹 beautiful country,amazing delicious food and friendly people. Enjoy and have a lot fun with your family 🙌God bless you
Like most of you, i've watched a lot of Mark Wiens food vlogs, but i've never seen him as happy eating as he is in the Portuguese series.
I've eaten in few countries while travelling and Portuguese food is on my top 3.
I don't know what is it about, it's probably due to good products + the easy preparation, nothing over-powering the product.
But where you eat the best is in small family restaurants further away from the tourist areas, It's cheaper obviously but way tastier.
@Philipa Williams He only went to Lisbon and to very few places...if you want better food go to Porto/north of Portugal, Alentejo, Algarve regions and the portuguese island regions of Azores and Madeira...
@Philipa Williams looks like he is enjoying it. Portuguese food is great asf don’t be jealous lol
I miss the Portuguese food and all the delicious Portuguese cakes and Portugal - everything there is amazing 🙏🏻🇵🇹😍💖😘
me too. Let's go to Portugal, Soniaa!
Next time when you eat, boiled Bacalhau and potatoes or chickpeas,make sure you put a good amount of olive oil on the plate first, and then a bit of wine vinegar, some pepper and the garlic diced.Mix that altogether on the plate and then add the bacalhau and the other ingredients! That is the best way to enjoy it.
same thinking :-)
Pois é 👌
You need lots of olive oil and same red wine VINEGAR the best we Portuguese know how to est the bacalhau dish of course you need red wine VINEGAR
Thank you.
Its great to see you Mark, hope you're enjoying your trip to the fullest.
Love and Best Wishes from India.
Lisbon is a great city. I visited it back in 2014 on a shoestring budget. Would love to go back. It's hilly and very cool/arty with a mix of quaint. Beautiful friendly people. You can stay in some fabulous apartments really cheaply.
Opening up my eyes to new travel possibilities, thank you once again Mark and Ying
Cool, thanks for watching.
Mark Wiens please visit Guyana please
Mark Wiens just tried the samosas yesterday...Amazing!
Good old days... no social distancing, no masks, no sanitizer. Busy places, crowded streets, all restaurants full of people.
Now we live in a never ending desert.
Depends on where. In Madagascar things have been mostly normal except this is a half-assed lockdown right now.
watching this in end of 2021 with a tear in my eye, i miss my home country so much and the food, thank you
I remember growing up in Queens, NYC my Grandmother & Grandfather (on my dad side ) lived upstairs from us, they were from Sicily in the mid 60's Grandma would on holidays like Christmas & Easter would make a 20-course meal from antipasto, soup, 3 or 4 Fish dishes (Baccala was one of them (mixed in with a tomato sauce with the pasta, Yum), 2 types of Pasta, & 4 -5 different types of meat dishes of beef, pork, chicken, rabbit or whatever the butcher had on hand. I'm 64 now but I miss that. After I was married I moved my family up to NH (in 1982), (my daughters were 4 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old). We used to live in the Seacoast area of NH not too far from Portsmouth, NH, and Kittery, ME. I used to take the kids down to the fishing docks in Portsmouth and buy directly from the boat captains I could get 3-4# Lobsters (for $2.00/#), Crabs, buy a 12-15# whole fresh Atlantic Salmon (sometimes I get a female with the roe sac intact inside and I would make my own salmon egg sushi & gravlax) Codfish, Bluefish, Steamer clams by the bushel, & during the Shrimp season I could get med size Maine sweet shrimp some still had roe sacs on them. I miss those times. my two daughters still live there.

Lisbon is my city and yes it has amazing cuisine and an amazing culture
Beatriz.B portgual is your city*
Bea Baros you Portuguese?
Thank goodness that man was there to tell him to drizzle olive oil on the cod dinner! I cringed when he was eating it dry. I'm so hungry now.
@Tomás Silva And this is not the best program Mark has ever did as it lacks a LOT of portuguese cuisine...someone should call him and do a TRUE portuguese food tour with him and preferably outside of Lisbon, in other cheaper and diversed regions...just saying...
IMHO Lisbon is an underrated City, and Portuguese food is amazing.
Dude, as a Portuguese, I enjoyed your video and the appreciation you showed for our food but when I saw you eating the codfish without olive oil, my portuguese soul just got crushed! lol I thought, how is no one telling him he needs to add the olive oil!? But then someone did! I knew a fellow portuguese man could never stay indifferent to that! You just have to drown the damn codfish in olive oil. We always say the codfish needs to be swimming in olive oil, that's the proper way to do it. Also, when having coffee, even if you don't add any sugar, you should mix the coffee with the spoon anyway. Not only cause it makes it creamier but also cause if you don't mix it, the coffee surface kind of "burns" the minute after being poured and if left unmixed, it's true and proper flavor and texture will get compromised. I may sound picky but any portuguese people will agree with me. Anyway, great video. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the oldest country in western europe. Have a good day!
Lisbon is so cool and relaxed. Smoking cannabis with the kids in city centre, chilling in the lookout by Principe Real, lovely people. Can't wait to go back and visit other parts of the country too.
Yes Sir, so true and i do agree. Take care and Peace to you and to all.
It so entertaining listening to you. I love how you describe each food and how they taste. You bring positive vibes. Thank you for sharing this.

Portugal has the best coffee in the WORLD
They don't grow it.
Giorgi Ostatishvili a única produção de café na Europa é na ilha de São Jorge, arquipélago dos Açores de Portuga
England had coffee shops over a hundred years before the one seen here was established
Actually, we do grow it. Portugal itself is not just the land you see in the map. We had extensions of our current land in Brasil and Africa for 600 hundred years, only to be forced to leave them by European corruption 50 years ago.
But our people are still there, producing what they did for 300-400 years ago.
Our coffee comes from Brasil, Angola, Moçambique and from our Isles. They are produced by Portuguese companies and refined in Portugal. I love it :p
You had slaves grow it for you. On land that you stole from them in the first place. Then you took the coffee, exported it and got away with all the money. Yes thats true. And criminal.
I now know when Mark take his first bite and bends to the right smiling then the meal is good!
Português food is just awesome amazing I love Portuguese food
Fun to watch video, and your face enjoying your meal. You give enough details to help us appreciate the historical significance. That building of the Cafe was hit with earthquake and tsunami in 1755, so they were founded about thirty years later.

Man, our coffee really "portuguesed" you, didn't it? Many of us can't function properly throughout the day without one in the morning. :D Now I know why you looked a bit hyperactive in the videos, two at a time is a heavy dose of cafeine at once! XD
I've watched all your Lisbon videos but the way you described and enjoyed our food made me so hungry that I had to watch the rest after lunch or dinner!
Anyway, awesome videos and thanks for promoting Lisbon in particular and our food in general in such a pleasant way. : )
26:50 it's very traditional in portugal to eat ham with come melon slices because the freshness and sweetness of the melon helps contrast the saltiness and savouriness of the presunto. It's best to grab a piece with lots of fat for this combination and reserve the more lean parts for later to just gnaw and have a longer lasting experience of the presunto
Yummy
Him: eating the codfish dry.
Me: ADD OLIVE OILLLLLLLLLLLLL
And then the guy intervene and i was like "Phew. That's how you eat bacalhau."
I cringed, not gonna lie. But it also made me think how many things I've eaten wrong while traveling.
there's never enough oil ... ahahah
The same goes for other boiled or grilled portuguese fish dishes and salads...olive oil, vinegar, oregano, coriander, parsley are ALL essential seasonings...
