法國小女孩-Francesinha
Francesinha，葡萄牙文意思為"法國小女孩"，是波爾圖 (Porto) 必嘗的經典餐點。關於其起源，現有兩種說法:
1. 這是一種法國士兵在法國侵略期間，法國士兵習慣吃的一種三明治，為白吐司加上各種的肉類與起士，之後，葡萄牙人發明了特殊的醬料並淋在上頭一併食用。
2. 另一種現今較為接受的說法則為，Daniel David Silva是一位1950年代受雇於Regaleira一間餐廳的員工，由於其曾經在法國工作過，之後便根據法式吐司 (又稱Croque-monsieur，一種法式火腿起士吐司)衍生出現在的Francesinha，故有此名。
概括來說，此道餐點主要材料為: 香腸，火腿，冷肉片(牛或豬)或沙朗肉，之後在於上頭擺上起士並加熱使其融化。搭配的醬料各個餐廳有其配方，但主要是以番茄為底，加入啤酒以及辣椒醬配製而成；事實上，亦有許多餐廳會搭配不同的主食材(蝦子，奶油蘑菇...等)，因此，現在的Francesinha可說是相當多樣化! 而荷包蛋與薯條則為選擇性的配料。
在波爾圖 (Porto)，在許多餐廳或Cafe都可見此道餐點，在2013年乍到當地時，參考了網路上部落格的推薦，在"Cafe Santiago"1嚐了人生第一次的Francesinha。
印象中味道還不錯，其實這樣速食般的組合，基本上也很難難吃到哪去! 讓我感到較為特別的是其醬料，雖然有加入啤酒，但已感覺不出來，也因為有加入辣椒醬，微微的辣吃起來蠻過癮的，身為一個台灣人，其讓我懷念起甜辣醬或者是小時候沾薯條的醬。然而，唯二要小心的則為"熱量"以及"份量"，肉+起士+吐司+薯條+蛋，我想沒有人會質疑食後的罪惡感 :P 此外，就我至今的經驗，無論在哪吃，份量都挺大的，食量正常的女生基本上是一定可以分享一份，也比較不會感覺那麼膩。

2014年，我和我家老爺拜訪了另一間他弟弟推薦的Cafe 2有了另一次嘗試，當然我們也是分享了一份，店家在上桌前直接幫我們切成兩半，也給我們各一顆蛋，薯條則是另外放，如此便可保持其脆度，滋味也很不錯~
順便一提，這道餐點和啤酒很對味喔! 來到波爾圖 (Porto)，就來杯SuperBock吧^_^

Little Franchie- Francesinha
In Portuguese, Francesinha means "Little Franchie", and it is a typical cuisine in Porto. There are two theories claiming its origin:
1. It has to date back to the times of the French invasions: French soldiers used to eating some sandwiches with white bread and placed where all kinds of meats, and cheese, but there was one important thing that Portuguses immediately began to put on said sandwich- the sauce.
2. Currently there seems to be another unanimity give credit for its creation. Daniel David Silva, an employee of the restaurant in Regaleira in the 1950s. Having worked in France, Daniel Silva created the francesinha based on French toast, or croque- monsieur, and hence the name.
In general, the main ingredients of Francesinha include sausage, fresh sausage, ham, cold meats (beef/cow) or alternatively, sirloin roast and sliced pork, topped with cheese (melted later). It is usually garnished with a tomato-based sauce, beer and piri-piri, which can vary depending on the restaurants and each one claims to own its own secret recipe. Fried eggs (on top of the sandwich) and fries are optional. Nowadays, some restaurants even add the variety to this typical dish by altering the major combination, such as prawn, shrimp, champignons and cream.
The most impressive characteristics of this dish are always calories and portion. I believe I don't have to emphasize the first point after you read the main ingredients:P
For the girls/women who have normal appetite, two people can share one portion.
You can find Francesinha everywhere in Porto, ranging from common chain restaurants to recommended ones by some renowned references.
I have been to some, and most of them are fine. In my opinion, it is hard to be unpalatable like this combination of FAST FOOD.
If you really need some guide, the following two are the ones I have been and they were nice experiences :) Just provide you as a reference!
By the way, it is superb to enjoy this dish with beer-so, why not having a local beer from Porto- SuperBock with it :P
