Somewhat hidden among the main street vendors and not something many people make a big deal about. Maybe tourists who happen to be passing by and a few locals tired of gelato and the lack of ice cream flavors out here if they bump into ice cream, they might feel like a popsicle. Not sure what popsicle translates to for European Portuguese as it is picole in Brazilian Portuguese. Apparently, deepl.com translates to European Portuguese and some locals just may not be familiar with the different term of 'picole' possibly.
They have some alcoholic popsicles and regular cool ones . I want to make my own alcohol popsicles now seeing this shop and also a cool recipe picture online. Popsicles are definitely Not a Portuguese specialty and there isn't anything like pieces of corn break or a piece of an animal part hiding in any of these treats cause that just wouldn't work.
Makes me think about how I am not crazy about some of the faux pas of Asian food that I am familiar with in their original form. I am okay with a person who likes faux pas if they are open to the real thing too. Picky eaters are hard to be around and this simple experience of eating 2 popsicles, throw in there a "nouveau" lobster pastry in there with a coke, made me think of all that.
Realized after the fact that a 'rissol' (apparently may also be known as 'rissoles') are the fried pastries they sell that may have a beef, chicken, shrimp, tuna, or vegetable (harder to find probably). This is a Portuguese staple and it may not be as advertised as other things as there're other food things that stand out more. read more
