I went to watch the footie with a couple of my mates. One of them is this guy Pedro and he has terrible taste in food, he often goes "this places is amazing, best steaks you've ever seen" or whatever, and then when you go there it's fucking rubbish. So, when he said that this place has great steaks for 10 euros I didn't really pay attention even though Aidan was praising them too.
I have to admit though, on this occasion, he was finally that stopped clock that is right... once a decade in fact.

The Portuguese do love to whack an egg on top of a steak though. If they see an uncovered steak they feel deeply uncomfortable as though something is wrong in the world and they immediately try and get an egg on there as fast as they possibly can. This time I was ready for them though and I managed to deflect it to the side of my plate. And I also had the presence of mind to make sure that my fellow diners guarded it while I was in the toilet in case one of the waiters tried to dive in. Luckily they were all in the upstairs bar watching Benfica v Ajax and my steak stayed unsullied.
