Francesinha is a traditional sandwich dish from Portugal, originating from the city of Porto. It consists of slices of bread filled with various meats such as ham, sausage, and roast beef, and topped with melted cheese and a rich, tomato and beer-based sauce. The sandwich is then heated until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. It is typically served with fries and is a popular and hearty meal. The dish is said to have originated in the 1960s and has since become a staple of Portuguese cuisine, with variations and interpretations found throughout the country.
