It is not possible to go hungry in Portugal. Not only is the food extremely delish (they cook almost everything in some kind of bacon fat) but the portions are generous.. and sometimes, downright frightening.

Here is a photo of a dinner I ordered. On the menu, it was called, "Pork, Portuguese Style." Single serving. To give you an even better sense of scale, the tomato slices on this dish are from normal sized tomatoes.. not "plum" tomatoes.



Consider the photo above the "before" picture.

Now for the "after" picture.



I swear that I worked on that pile of pork for at least 20 minutes. Here is the "doggie bag" that I got to take home and obviously didn't even come close to finishing the next night either:
