Portugal was the beginning, where I began to notice the things that were missing from the average American dining experience. The large groups of people who ate together. The family element. The seemingly casual cruelty that comes with living close to your food. The fierce resistance to change - if change comes at the expense of traditionally valued dishes. I'd see this again and again, in other countries far from Portugal.
