RE: My delicious first attempt on a vegetarian francesinha!
Probably a bit healthier than the real thing. Last time I ate one I felt like I'd eaten a brick afterwards - but that won't stop me from having another next time I'm in Porto!
It's probably healthier, yes, because it doesn't have meat and everything that it implies. But it's not a complete meal, for sure :)
And it's heavy anyway! I need to stop living for a while after one of these so I can digest. In some places in Porto you can ask for half a francesinha (they don't put it on the menu but they do it) if you don't have much hunger!
