    As well as salted lard and farinheira (the description “smoked sausage” fails to prepare me adequately for this extremely unusual tangy flour pudding that’s said to have been developed by 16th-century Jews to help them pass as conversos, though, like many Portuguese foods, the modern version is full of pork fat), Carreira’s feijoada contains pork ribs, trotters and ears.
