I have to be biased and say that I really love the food generally in my country, Portugal. It's not often that you can get it wrong here. Seriously, all these other countries are good too, but in Portugal you can eat almost anywhere and it'll be very good, and most people can cook well too. We have a good blend of our own cuisine with rich and flavour-full dishes, and also a bit of the mediterranean cuisine everyone has talked about. From fresh fish and seafood to juicy meats, side dishes, desserts, pastries and cakes, soups, etc. we have a good thing going. Anyone who hasn't tried should come and see what it's about! If anyone would like to know what would be typical food from here, I'm open to requests.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
