This erudite and highly intellectual question was recently posed on the Portugal Forums on a leading Travel Website.
The answer...
A Bifana is a highly addictive, high fat, portuguese pork sandwich which when consumed with a bit of mustard, and when washed down with a Sagres Black Beer, is the sort of food that the Vikings in the Monty Python Spam Sketch would have sailed all the way to Portugal for!
See (in Portuguese but with pix): http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifana
And to start the day of right for everyone....
Happy MayDay, Comrades!!!! ;))
