This time Free & Fancy Dinner :-)

I heard that north of Portugal is famous for food! You must be agreeing with it! Right?
 My opinion is still better that I would say it is famous for "Free Food"! :-)

I was lucky to get to use the opportunity! :-) 

So....
Not surprisingly I got an other invitation! of course free dinner!

Here it comes with the starters... (one of them to mention molten cheese with honey and nuts : interesting to put on crackers and eat)


Main food and salad....


Guests including us....

More food...

And  many desserts after, starting from fruit salad...


As you see, we had some fun meanwhile...






And here comes important person to Introduce, Our HOST, Amélia :-). She is the cook as well. I asked her how many hours spent in kitchen. All afternoon it seems. We were lucky that we were guests :-).

So here is Amélia with the dessert that she made!

              I take a moment to thank her on behalf of our friends!!! VERY WELL DONE Amélia!


Also I had a chance to taste mais velho (old) vinho de Porto! older than me! :-).


Though I dont eat red meat, I had many varieties and imagine others :-). 

                                Satisfied completely with all the starters, main course and desserts. (muito satisfeita!) and I was very glad that I was one of the guests :-) & I never suspected about me being lucky :-)

Fish cooked with salt and egg paste!


 While cooking...
 After cooking...

You need still "Chef (Rolando´s)" assitance to remove the salt! 

 Almost there!

After it is our job to finish the fish! :-)

and of course Fish doesn´t get any salty taste as you can imagine! :-)

So, if you want to know how to make it, please do not hesitate to contact Chef!

I would have been silly if I had said NO !

It was a very short notice for dinner but for me it doesn't matter :-). 

I keep myself free most of the time and my principle is DO NOT SAY "NO" to free food! :-)

Would you liek to follow the same? :-) Go ahead!

So going directly to food is nice...

 here comes the two "starters"... Typical from this region. Have you ever thought of  Orange, garlic, olive oil and salt combiantion? If you dont please try! Worth it!


and the other I have no idea! but very interesting too! here I can see the professional touch of the Cook:-).


and main dish, Lazanya. First time I tasted spicy one! Very delicious!


Now it is time to introduce Host (Tiago), Chef (Márcio) e other pretty girls. 

It was lot of fun to be with them, than I expected! Sorry for the poor judgement! Specially in Bragança I fail a lot!


It was good fun because host warned me that I have to speak only Portuguese! Not bad! I managed okay!

so you see why i say lot of fun.

Okay thanks for a lovely dinner and good company!

Expecting to have more dinner/lunch (qualquer coisa) invitation!
:-)
