＜Bits of knowledge about Portuguese cuisine＞
▼Alheira sausage
Alheira sausage is a traditional Portuguese sausage. While common sausages are made by stuffing pork or beef into the intestines, Alheira sausage is made by mixing bread with meat such as chicken or rabbit, instead of pork.
The sausage was invented by the Jews, for whom pork was forbidden. At the end of the 15th century, Jews in Portugal were forced to convert to Christianity. And, to prove their conversion to Christianity, Christians used pork sausages, which were commonly eaten at the time.
Pork is not allowed to be eaten for religious reasons, but they did not want to be persecuted anymore, so in order to deceive Christians, Jews made sausages that looked exactly like pork sausages by mixing bread with meat such as chicken or rabbit. This is how Alheira sausage was born, and it is still a standard sausage eaten in Portugal today.
