From Skeptic to Devotee: Bob's Love Affair with Portuguese Cuisine

Married to Portuguese

When Bob first encountered the bold flavors of Portuguese cuisine, his English-Irish taste buds were in for a quite the surprise. Now, he's a self-proclaimed aficionado of the rich culinary traditions that I, his Portuguese spouse, grew up with. Sharing laughter and memories, we unpack Bob's humorous journey from skepticism to total devotion to Portuguese dishes, and how food became the heart of our cultural fusion. From the culture shock of his first Thanksgiving with my Portuguese family to waking up craving a tostamista from Tia Maria's, Bob's anecdotes are a delightful feast for your ears.
Our latest conversation is peppered with affectionate banter as we explore the power of food in bridging cultures. Bob, once a stranger to the likes of octopus and Bacalhau, now champions these flavors with the zeal of a converted foodie. We muse over our regular haunts and the dishes that have won his heart, all while celebrating the shared joy that comes from a well-prepared meal. Join us at our table for an episode that's rich in nostalgia and warmth, and you might just find yourself yearning for a taste of Portugal by the time we sign off.
