Francesinha is a Portuguese sandwich, originally from Porto, made with layers of toasted bread and assorted hot meats such as roast, steak, wet-cured ham, linguiça, or chipolata over which sliced cheese is melted by the ladling of a near-boiling tomato-and-beer sauce called molho de francesinha.

I’m guessing this is a knife and fork sandwich.

Could also be a rare spoon sandwich too.

The sauce is mostly absorbed by the bread or by dipping the french fries.

This wasn't served with fries. It might have been unusually large, but I wouldn't been able to eat a side of fries with this as well lol. Sooo many calories😃. Sucked up most of the delicious sauce by dabbing the bread in it.

I am! Taking it easy today, though, spent all day yesterday walking, finished the day with the Francesinha at one of the tourist traps down by the river

Wow! I’m headed to Porto next week and am looking forward to tasting one of these! Any recommendations aside from the Francesinha, any cool places that shouldn’t be missed?! Enjoy your trip!!!

Enjoy! Looks really good. I’d feel a little bad for taking it apart though lol

How do they keep the bread from getting soggy? Does the layer of cheese protect it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I've eaten it and the toast soaking the sauce up always happened. It's actually part of the appeal as the sauce is magic and each restaurant makes them a bit differently.

This sounds and looks amazing.
