Francesinha is a Portuguese sandwich, originally from Porto, made with layers of toasted bread and assorted hot meats such as roast, steak, wet-cured ham, linguiça, or chipolata over which sliced cheese is melted by the ladling of a near-boiling tomato-and-beer sauce called molho de francesinha.

I’m guessing this is a knife and fork sandwich.

Could also be a rare spoon sandwich too.

The sauce is mostly absorbed by the bread or by dipping the french fries.

This wasn’t served with fries. It might have been unusually large, but I wouldn’t been able to eat a side of fries with this as well lol. Sooo many calories😃. Sucked up most of the delicious sauce by dabbing the bread in it.
