my dear friends, while i’m well aware this is not a food blog, there’s something delicious i’ve been wanting to share with you. so please beg my pardon while i briefly delve into the world of gastronomy — once upon a time in portugal, i fell in love with tinned fish. i stuffed as many tins into my suitcase as i could after clearing out a vida portuguesa, one of my favorite boutique shops in lisbon. their inventory of tinned fish is extensive, and in all honesty, at the time, i was mainly into the chic packaging and would display them proudly in my kitchen for all to ooh and aah.
