Talk Portuguese - Buying Food and Ordering a Meal

A short, practical course for absolute beginners, covering the most useful travel basics. Portuguese and Brazilians from all walks of life join in the programmes to give a taste of their language and culture. The series has been filmed in Lisbon and the nearby coast, the lush green hills of the Douro valley and, in the east, the historic fortified towns on the border with Spain. The last programme visits Salvador, the original capital of Brazil founded by the Portuguese. In this episode, tips on buying food and ordering a meal, plus a look at a Lisbon restaurant that serves nothing but cod and a historic convent where cakes used to be the language of forbidden love.
