We we visited Portugal, we ate bacalhau about a dozen ways and they said we had 
about 300 to go. Unfortunately we could not stay that long.

My mother and ava used to make a cold fish dish of white fish,
vinegar, raw onions, and saffron.  Has anyone else had that in their
family?  i cant find it on the Internet anywhere.  I am wondering if
it is a dish my grandmother made up.

 Katherine,

My relatives from Flores always had a FILHOS FEAST on Ash Wednesday.  We'd
meet at the family ranch, have filhos hot out of the frying pan...drizzled
with butter, then ate with either jam or a dusting of sugar and a slice of
cheddar cheese.  It's a tradition that I've continued making for my family,
but they don't get excited about them like I do.  Actually they call them
lead hockey pucks...more for me...LOL!  I make a huge batch and freeze the
majority of what we don't eat.  When I want a filhos for breakfast, I take
one out of the freezer, microwave it a bit (experiment with your microwave
and start at 20 second intervals so you don't over cook it), then add butter
and your favorite topping.  They taste greasy and hot, just like Ava and
Granny Marie made them on Ash Wednesday!

Last year I broke my wrist and was unable to make (knead the dough) for my
annual filhos feast.  Someone recommended the Portuguese Bakery, 2082 El
Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA  408-984-2234.  I ordered several dozen and
they arrived the next week.  They went into the freezer and we enjoyed them
for several weeks.  Their website says that they make daily filhos, but
people recommend arriving at 9 am to get fresh ones...they tend to sell out
quickly.  They also sell 9 flavors of biscoitos, sweet bread, lemony rice
pudding, and on the last Saturday of the month serve sopas (pot roast &
cabbage over bread with mint).  If you live in the Bay Area, check them out!
