We’re stuffing our faces, talking and laughing, and then things started getting interesting. We were just about done with our meal when a waiter comes by and drops off another dish for us, but this one we didn’t order. Apparently this is another specialty that he wants us to try, on the house. FUCK YEA! Now we got another nice big plate of beans, but this time its full of big chunks of pork fat…I mean, you can smell the pork in it as it hits the table, you don’t even need to taste it to know its in there. That’s my kind of dish! I mean, at this point all five of us are struggling. Between the bread, the cheeses, the beans and rice and pork and wine and this new dish, we barely have any room left for anything.
That is when the waiter comes back with ANOTHER dish we didn’t order; another specialty that he wants us to try. And Oh My God is it FUCKING delicious! It was a plate full of squid done Algarve style, and while I have NO clue what the hell that means, they tasted like they were grilled or fried with a ton of olive oil and some spices. Every single thing we had was tasty, but this, this was frigging unbelievable. These squid were by far one of the best squid dishes I’ve ever had in my life, I just wish I wasn’t so full I could enjoy them more!
By this time plates are clearing off, we’re already half way through our second bottle of verde wine, and the food is hitting everyone’s stomachs HARD. We can all barely move, except for Mario. This kid must have a bottomless pit for a stomach, because we’re all wishing a wheelchair would come wheel us out of the place, and here he is still scooping shit onto his plate. I commend you, good sir. Another plate or two for Super Mario, and he’s finally had his fill. And that’s when things get interesting.
