In December, I was on a business trip to Lisbon with a native Portuguese colleague. He recommended that I try a dish named affectionately "The Woodpecker" or Pica-Pau. It is basically a stew type dish with meat and pieces of pickled vegetables. That may not sound delicious, but it turned out to be one of the best meals I had all last year. It was so good that on my recent trip through Lisbon, I made a point to go back to the restaurant for more! If you are wanting a wonderful Portuguese specialty, this is one that will not disappoint.
