Snack-Bar Chamiço

Have you ever eaten tripas? This dish is uniquely tied to Porto’s history. Legend has it that during the fifteenth century battle of Ceuta in North Africa, Henry the Navigator commandeered the best of Oporto’s provisions, including the finest beef, to feed his troops. He left the tripe behind, and the rest is culinary history. History through beef stomach.
Well, when your Portuguese friend invites you for Porto’s best tripas the day after you return, you go with him. It’s always easier to stomach strange food when it’s advertised as the best.
The broth was certainly good especially with the larger beans. However, I still do enjoyed foods with rubbery textures. This is the nature of tripe. My friend could wolf it down, while I took thoughtful spoonfuls. Anyway, if he says it’s the best, I believe him and will recommend this place for their tripas.
