Just a street over there is a little Portuguese grocery that has been at the same location since the 60's.
I started shopping there in the 80's when I had a shitty apartment just across the street from where i currently live.
The grocery store is a staple of Portuguese culture and food. people come from all over for their specialty meats, cheese and groceries.
The ground beef, and bifanas (pork steaks) are really good.
They make the most fabulous smoked bacon.
last night 2 of the butchers were fixing chorizo, the most wonderful
sausage! It is smoked and dried and stored in the cabinet
in the picture below.
you can order a mild or spicy chorizo.
it can be served grilled or sliced and served with
Caldo Verde the traditional Portuguese kale and potato soup.
I really love this store and so did my Dad.
He didn't want to move from his neighborhood because of this place and other
spots.
I am really happy that I enjoy posting again!
I hope it lasts!
Have a great night!
