typical Portuguese dish?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Portuguese cuisine is characterised by rich, filling and full-flavored dishes and is closely related to Mediterranean cuisine. The influence of Portugal's former colonial possessions is also notable, especially in the wide variety of spices used. These spices include piri piri (small, fiery chili peppers) and black pepper, as well as cinnamon, vanilla and saffron. Olive oil is one of the bases of Portuguese cuisine both for cooking and flavouring meals. Garlic is widely used, as are herbs such as coriander and parsley. Breakfast is traditionally just coffee and a bread roll with butter, jam, cheese or ham. Lunch, often lasting over an hour is served between noon and 2 o'clock or between 1 and 3 o'clock, and dinner is generally served late, around or after 8 o'clock. There are three main courses, lunch and dinner usually include soup. A common soup is caldo verde with potato, shredded kale, and chunks of chouri?o sausage. Among fish recipes, bacalhau (cod) dishes are pervasive. The most typical desserts are rice pudding (decorated with cinnamon) and caramel custard, but they also often include a variety of cheeses. The most common varieties are made from sheep or goat's milk, and include the queijo da serra from the region of Serra da Estrela. A popular pastry is the pastel de nata, a small custard tart sprinkled with cinnamon.

Malasadas
"A yeast doughnut of Portuguese origins that is very popular in Hawaii, malasadas are rich with eggs, butter and milk. Deep-fried, then coated with plain sugar, they make an irresistible treat."

1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
6 eggs
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup warm water; set aside.
2. In small bowl, beat eggs until thick.

It's like asking the most typical American dish or whatever, we all eat different things depending on our mood. Meat, fish, beans and rice and stuff, all a normal thing to eat. Do you eat something every single day? I don't, I eat a variety.

How about Caldo Verde. It is kale and potato soup.
