【Typical Portuguese cuisine ~ Bacalhau / Codfish dishes】

來葡萄牙旅遊而沒有吃過馬介休 / 鱈魚的話, 您的葡萄牙之旅肯定是美中不足。smile emoticon

Your trip of Portugal is imperfect if you haven't had any bacalhau / saltcod dish during your stay. smile emoticon

葡萄牙是美味的馬介休的家鄉。 馬介休其實是一個菜肴的總稱, 指所有經由鹽醃製而成的鱈魚餐/馬介休餐。在葡萄牙各大小餐廳裡, 通常都能見得到馬介休菜式出現在他們的菜單上。

據說, 馬介休已經產生至少500年。馬介休能夠保存多月, 因此在歐洲大航海時代, 它是很理想的食糧。這是因為在當年, 葡萄牙探險家必須長時間乘船出海, 探索新世界; 馬介休為探險家們提供了便於攜帶、他們所需要的營養成份。

記下『馬介休』這個葡語字和到 Google translate 練一下它的發音, 那下次大家來葡萄牙旅遊, 吃飯時就可輕鬆地點一個馬介休餐喔! (還有: 據說在葡萄牙, 用馬介休做的菜多達365種, 每天吃一款, 也需要整整一年才可以全部品嘗過一次)

Portugal is home to the delicious bacalhau, or saltcod. It indeed refers to a variety of fish dishes prepared with saltcod - codfish that has been preserved by drying and salting. One can usually see bacalhau dishes showing on the menu in most restaurants all over Portugal.

Bacalhau is said to have been produced for at least 500 years, since the time of the European Age of Discovery. Bacalhau can be kept for many months and is easily portable too. It was therefore an ideal food for the Portuguese explorers who must sail around the world, as it provided them with preserved nutrients that they needed.

Remember the Portuguese name "bacalhau", and try to memorise its pronunciation (check on "Google translate" to help you), so the next time you come to Portugal, you can easily order a bacalhau dish at a restaurant! (PS: It has been widely said there are as many as 365 recipes for bacalhau dishes in Portugal. So if you have one different dish every day, it still will take you one full year to enjoy all the different ones ONCE!)
