thanks - but I had a wander around in there, this afternoon.
We had the real thing years back but have been wondering about the spirit ever since.Nothing we have tried in the two clay devices seems to be quite right.

I am Portuguese. Sorry I missed the show, but please explain what did they cook, I might be able to help.

When we were in Obidos several years ago, we had sausages cooked on clay dishes with a small flame under the clay cross bars.we even bought two of the dishes.(Others have, too).But we can't work out what inflammable spirit was used in the dishes to slowly and beautifully cook the food.Everything we have tried either doesn't burn or burns to much. My wife saw the same thing on TV One on Saturday morning but we were too late to hear the details.Since searched on Food Safari's site etc , with no success.

About to have another go.Unless I was on the wrong site the programme didn't display, yesterday.Nor did a search produce the recipe.
thanks

You so lucky to have one of those clay dishes. That is on my wish list when mum comes for Xmas this year. So where did you guys get the fire water in the end! My uncle still makes the stuff in Portugal.very strong. However because it is so scares lots of people use Myth spirits which burns just as well. Hope that helps.
