Patata Porcina
I got the porcina potato with trifolata potato, diced sautéed mushrooms, braised sausage, crispy onion and caramelized onion. It's a real bomb, this one. A bit sweet, a bit savory, you can also taste the parsley, the porcini. Super good.
Spiedino di Pollo
From the Indian stand I got a chicken skewer, it melts, it melts in your mouth. They also gave me two little sweets, one with milk, coconut and almonds and one with carrots. Let's try them right away.
Paella
I also got a little taste of paella from the Spanish cuisine stand. This is the real original paella. The guy felt guilty not letting us also taste the sangria, you already know.
Pastel de Nata
Directly from Portugal, a pastel de nata. I've never tried one. I'd eat another 10. I already finished it.
