Portuguese food can be very distinctive. While McDonald's and Burger King are making inroads, for now the Cuisine of Portugal will leave a lasting memory on the missionaries who serve in the Portugal Porto mission. Some of the dishes like Bolinhos de Bacalhau and Caldo Verde as such a part of the culture that every missionary will have tasted them during his tenure in Portugal. What is lacking is a good recipe for the many types of breads that can be found in the padaria (Bakery) on the corner.
