About Portugal / Eating in Portugal
The staple diet is one of fish, meat, vegetables and fruit.
Although Portugal's waters abound with fresh fish,
the dried, salted codfish known as 'bacalhau', often imported, is considered one of the most famous national dishes.
In many areas, meat is seldom eaten, although the Alentejo region is known for its pork and Trás-os Montes
for cured meats. Breads and sweets - the latter a legacy of Moorish occupation - take a variety of forms,
with many regional specialities.
Wine is the ubiquitous table beverage.
