I know that must of you may be wondering, "What the hell is a Francesinha?" but I am here to answer to all your doubts.
Francesinha is one of the most famous dishes from the North of Portugal. It is a strong food.
It has bread, egg, steak, different type of sausages, ham, cheese. And it is covered with a strong sauce, usually a bit spicy. It comes with fried potatoes.
What do you think? Would you like to try one?

@fufurinha It has probably been inspired by the French recipe
. But, yes, it seems more improved and is certainly better

I think that I'd enjoy this. "Francesinha" sounds far too dainty and ladylike a name for such a 'manly' dish. Your description reminds me rather of what is called the "Full English Breakfast", though that has no cheese and includes baked beans, tomatoes and mushrooms. The sauce, too, would be added (from a bottle) by the diner (usually tomato ketchup or HP Brown Sauce).

Well, this sauce is much different from the one your are referring too.
And yes, this can be considered a "manly dish" ahaha

I would certainly like to try that. When I have eaten at the Portugese restaurant in my town (named 'Funchal by Night') I have found some of the dishes to be a little too salty but have found others that I have enjoyed.
