countdown to lisbon


«'The pig is getting fat. Even as we speak,' said José months later. From the very moment I informed my boss of my plans to eat my way around the world, another living creature's fate was sealed on the other side of the Atlantic. True to his word, José had called his mother in Portugal and told her to start fattening a pig.»

Anthony Bourdain in "A Cook's Tour"

I do not demand a whole pig. But I am expecting some bacalhau à lagareiro (my favourite) and loads of wine to go with it. Only 4 days to go!
