Francesinha

Earlier this year, I wrote about one of the finest sandwiches ever created; the very French, very awesome Croque Monsieur – which is really just a fancy name for an awesome ham and cheese sandwich. Despite being loaded with cheese and sauce, it manages to stay delicate and light.

The Portuguese have an answer to this with their own take on the humble ham and cheese sandwich – and unlike the Croque Monsieur, it’s anything but delicate and light. Hailing from Porta, it’s a monster of a sandwich, stuffed with ham, linguiça, sometimes chourico or other sausage, steak or some other roasted meat and then covered in cheese, which gets melted. It then gets drenched on a tomato and beer-based sauce and is served with chips. As is often the case, it may even have a fried egg on top of it.  It may give you a heart attack, but it’s also life-changingly delicious. Want one? You can grab a Francesinha from the genuinely awesome Pastelaria Princesa in Johannesburg’s Kensington, which is where my colleagues lunched without me today. The dicks.
