Portuguese Toasts


This is a picture of another type of bread very appreciated here in Portugal, and very common in city cafés. It is used in toasts, sandwiches and, in some regions of Portugal, as an ingredient of a traditional sweet called "Rabanadas". I´ll share this recipe later.
If you ever come to Portugal and you´d like to order this type of bread, toasted with butter, all you need to ask for is "Torradas".
If you order toasts, everyone will ask you the same: Toast with what? Cheese, Ham (Fiambre), or Mixed? So, in Portugal plain toasts with butter are called "Torradas".
See you soon.
