mariscos (shellfish soups). Carnivores should head to Ribatejo - this is meat and tripe
country.
The Beiras
There's plenty of bacalhau and ovos moles (thickened sweet egg yolks), egg cakes and
chanfana (goat or lamb stews), plus Atlantic seafood. Sausages are popular, as are
cheeses, especially Rabaçal cheese and Queijo Serra da Estrela (Serra cheese).
NOTHING IS FREE
Throughout the country, waiters bring bread, olives and other goodies to your table when you sit down. This un-
ordered appetizer is called 'couvert ' and it is never free ( couvert can cost from €1 to upwards of €8 per person at
flashier places). If you don't want it, send it away, no offence taken.
