Portugal's Most Iconic Sandwich Is Smothered In Cheese And Sauce | Legendary Eats

The Francesinha was invented in the 1950s at a Porto restaurant called A Regaleira, when a French customer asked for a croque monsieur. This indulgent sandwich now has many variations, but they all include a stack of ham, steak, sausage, and cheese, covered in a tangy tomato sauce. We visited Cafe Santiago, who makes Francesinhas beloved by locals and tourists alike, to see how the iconic sandwich is made.

Ham. Cheese. Sausage. Egg. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Sausage Nation attacked.

If I've learned anything last year when going to Portugal, is that Portuguese food culture is about eating.
