He!!!He!!!!!
As most of you know we are Portuguese, well so today in Portugal we celebrate St. Martin's Day, (well it shouldn't really be translated and the original name is, Sao Martinho).
How we celebrate?!!!!! tha you don't want to know...........specially cause once I am done here I will be cooking some lovely chestnuts.
OK!! OK!! (I can hear you saying go on...), so here it goes:
-Fresh Rose Wine, (brewed specially for this time of the year, traditionally called Agua Pé-Beware of imitations)
-Cured Pork Belly
-Olive Oil
-Olives
Most importantly Chestnuts, (boiled,Roasted or fried, you should have your table set and wait any guests that may visit tonight)
So, I am in for a great night...........
Because we live in UK, Chestnuts are extremely expensive, so we have it in smaller quantities, rather than the 10kg+ we would buy if we were in Portugal. But still we have the fun.
Instead of the typical Pork belly we have a great diner with Pork chops, Sangria, and chestnuts...........
We still love it...........
That's all for today
