We Tried Portuguese Food | Must Try Local Algarve Dishes

Trying Portuguese Food in the Algarve. It's our final day here in Portugal and we through we would head out and try some of the local Portugal food.
To start the tour, we headed out to the Faro market, a local gathering of fresh fish, veggies and cheeses. Exploring and making our way through the market we tried food that is essential for Algarve meals, goats cheese, black pig, fava beans and figs before trying some delicious prawns.
Even though we tried Pastel de Nata up in Lisbon, we found a much tastier and more traditional way of eating them here - adding cinnamon on top.
We then headed out to a restaurant called Taska to try some dishes including:
- Arroz de lingueirao which is razor clam rice
- Xarem which is the poor peoples food made with corn flour and clams
- Ameijoas which is the clams
- Muxama which is the Tuna jerky
Afterwards we explored the local town where we tried Dom rodrigo and algarvian sweet made with eggs, caramel, almonds and cinnamon before ending our trip with torta de laranja - the orange cake.

Happy Friday everybody!! So sorry we missed Wednesday upload! Hope you enjoy the final episode in our Portugal series :) - what's your plans for the weekend?

What I find remarkable in my country is that it has so many different traditions around food. I was born and raised in the North of Portugal, and a lot of our culinary traditions are remarkably different from the ones in Alentejo or Algarve. For all you foodies our there, take a food tour of Portugal from North to South - you won't be disappointed. Best wishes from Porto

[@ligialaginha]

I'm from Algarve. I live in Loulé, near Faro. Our food is the best. I love "polenta", corn flour, with seafood. We call polenta "Xarem" or "xerem", the name is an inheritance of the Arabs. Sorry my bad english. Thank's for your visit.

[@josedasilva5758]

At the time the corn was only in América

[@jorgegoncalves7295]

@@josedasilva5758 A palavra "xarem" ou "xerem" tem origem controversa, mas uma das origens possíveis é a árabe, com o significado de papa de grãos, independentemente de ter sido associada à papa de farinha de milho - milho do origem mexicana.

[@josedasilva5758]

@@jorgegoncalves7295 Nao comentei a étimologia da palavra xerem. Comentei a época na qual o milho foi introduzido na europa, o seja na época dos mouros nao havia milho na Europa nem na Africa assim como na Asia. E polenta é palavra italiana que significa papas em Portugues!!

Portugal is a amazing country. Really enjoyed when watched videos. Cant wait for next country.

I'm so happy that you guys enjoyed portuguese food!! We have a great variety of portuguese dishes and desserts that you should also try 💛 Hope you come back to Portugal soon 🇵🇹

The cheese looks amazing. We somehow missed this market when we were there a while ago. Good to know for next time! 😃- Trevor

[@bobguenther6658]

I love these family videos! You guys rock!

[@JoesHomeFlavours]

That's some serious Portuguese food and you just made my mouth water and my eyes as well, I;m a Portuguese national living in Wales UK so I know all those flavors and I miss them so much, I can cook many Portuguese recipes and you can check them out in my channel but there are still literally hundred of flavors I can't yet reproduce as we don't have access to all ingredients... FYI the stringy eggs dessert you tried is called "fios d'ovos" which literally means egg strings and there's allot of technic to the process, maybe I'll show you some day :)

[@fearedlegend]

I may be biased but portugal is an amazing place. I really enjoy those pedway walks with those little bars with amazing food.the weather is always great and its a safe and happy ambiance.Very proud of our little gem of a nation.

As a child of Italian heritage, we grew up eating lupini beans! My grandmother from Italy would brine them and can for the family to enjoy. Of course, you do not eat the outside waxy skin, just pop the insides into your mouth. We continue as adults enjoying with a splash of good olive oil, salt and pepper! Great snack :)

Hey, you guys -- It's mid-morning, I've finished eating a lovely bowl of porridge a couple of hours ago, I come across this vid, and my mouth is watering like crazy...! Why, but why did I have to watch it!!!? Seriously, great vlog. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep it up! PS: It is the first time that I have seen anyone eating the filling of a "pastel de nata" with a spoon... weird, but tasty?

[@flyingthenest]

We were actually told that is the way some locals eat it here - with cinnamon on tip... DELICIOUS!!!

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Yes, that's right, with cinnamon and icing sugar on top -- but I have never seen anyone scooping the filling out with a spoon. Well, the main thing is that you enjoyed eating it. Good luck!

[@miguelcoelho3877]

How strange, Sali Bina, I thought the whole point of eating a piece of pastry such as a "pastel de nata" was to experience the contrasting flavours between the slightly savoury taste of the crusty base, and the creamy sweetness of the filling -- the "natas". Oh well, I suppose it takes all sorts... But spoon it or bite into it, the main thing is to enjoy them. And your morning coffee!
