“Following several advices I decided to go to Santa Francesinha. It was raining, I hesitated along the way, I considered the possibility of having another francesinha closer but I endured the rain to get the chosen one. So a few minutes later, cold, tired and wet, there I was... in front of the most messy delicious looking dish I ever seen. I took a few seconds to observe the delicious monstrosity. I rotated the plate a few times. Is it a sandwich? Is it a lasagna? What the hell was even that. I took the first bite. So many things going on... very salty?”
