My thoughts:

After a LONG trip to Portugal (delayed flights, multi-hour sits on the runway, beingness re-routed through England) we arrived inward add-on to the commencement affair I ate was pastéis de bacalhau (as they are known inwards southern Portugal or bolinhos de bacalhau inwards the North), a codfish cake. This is funny if yous are from Baltimore where we get got coddies, which are also a sort of codfish cake. I went all the way inward that identify to swallow something I could get got at home.

Not quite. The Portuguese codfish cake is oval shaped (the typical quenelle shape) inward add-on to quite lite inside spell Baltimore coddies are fellowship disks, coated inwards staff of life crumbs inward add-on to heavy on the potato, that i eats alongside mustard inward add-on to saltines. Both role dried tabular array tabular array salt cod which is fairly dull to honour here, inwards Baltimore most grocery stores get got it simply if yous can't honour it there, a adept Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish store would sell it.

The Portuguese are crazy for tabular array tabular array salt cod, simply I loved best inwards  pastéis de bacalhau/bolinhos de bacalhau. I realize it takes a fleck of dedication inward add-on to perchance craziness to soak tabular array tabular array salt cod for 36 hrs, de-bone it, flake it inward add-on to cast it into what is essentially a snack-bar snack simply it is amazing tasty inward add-on to the steps, spell time-consuming, are simple. We had them ofttimes every flake an appetizer (some restaurants serve them--hot or cold--on the bread, cheese inward add-on to olive plate that is ubiquitous) simply since we are home, we had them every flake a unproblematic meal along alongside a multifariousness of olives, staff of life inward add-on to salad. The perfect cake has a crisp outside that gives way to a creamy, cod-flecked filling. I hateful value this is it.
