"Spicy foods are not common throughout western Europe, but Portugal is one of the exceptions: Colonialism and trade brought chilies to the country, and they’ve held on to the heat. Chef Telmo Faria’s recipes at Piri Pica (“piri” referring to a biting Brazilian chili; ‘pica’ Portuguese for sting) shows the full range of Portugal’s love for spice: order your bird “piri-piri” if you like a little heat; “pica! pica! pica!” for the full sting." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
