"Another Round of Firewater!": Our Top 5 Foods from Portugal

Published: Nov. 10, 2021, 9 a.m.

The wine! The pastries! Co-host Anna Van Valin is back from a monthlong adventure in Portugal, and she\u2019s giving us her Top 5 food (and drink!) experiences in this special episode. We get the lowdown on local flavors, hear about dreamy Portuguese \u201cpetiscos\u201d from hidden caf\xe9s tucked away in ancient walled cities, and find out why some of the cobblestone streets in Lisbon are so darn sticky. Anna also reveals why the best pastries come from convents, some fascinating facts about port wine (did you know there\u2019s four kinds??) and introduces us to the infamous \u201caguardiente\u201d \u2014 also known as \u201cfirewater\u201d! But first, co-host Lia Ballentine shares the latest snack news from Yumday, and Anna and Lia announce their first in-person Food Day meetup in Austin, Texas \u2014 and you\u2019re invited!
