You can see the blue awnings in the background.) The place is always packed shoulder-to-shoulder with tourists. So turn around, leave the store, and walk back toward the <i>Mosteiro dos Jer&oacute;nimos<\/i>. At about where the pink building&nbsp;is in the photo referenced above is a tiny shop called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifecooler.com\/portugal\/restaurantes\/PaoPaoQueijoQueijo\"> <i> P&atilde;o P&atilde;o, Queijo Quejo<\/i><\/a>, which means <a href=\"http:\/\/seeportugal.org\/2008\/03\/23\/belem-lisbon-more-then-just-a-tower\/\"> Bread Bread Cheese Cheese<\/a>. If the photo doesn&#8217;t help, here&#8217;s how you find it: It&#8217;s the one packed to the gills with teenagers.\n Now, following the teenagers to decide where to eat is a hit-or-miss affair. You might find an awesome little shop, or you might end up at McDonalds. I lucked out and scored a major win.<\/p>\n<p> Here&#8217;s how you enjoy lunch at P&atilde;o P&atilde;o, Queijo Queijo: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the menu board posted outside to decide what you want.     Have your dictionary handy since it&#8217;s only in Portuguese. <\/li>\n<li>Join the     <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/oldnewthing\/archive\/2008\/05\/27\/8553639.aspx\">     mob-like approximation of a line<\/a>     that snakes out the door. <\/li>\n<li>When you reach the register near the door,     place your order and pay for it.     You will receive an order slip. <\/li>\n<li>Join the mob inside the store and try to work your way to     the counter where all the food is. <\/li>\n<li>Get the attention of somebody behind the counter.     You are competing with two dozen other people at this point,     so it may take some effort. <\/li>\n<li>Hand the person your order slip and do your best to answer     questions like &#8220;Do you want sauce?&#8221; and &#8220;For here or to go?&#8221;     The correct answers are &#8220;Only a little&#8221; and &#8220;To go&#8221;, by the way. <\/li>\n<li>Receive your sandwiches, grab some extra napkins,     and walk across the street to the park. <\/li>\n<li>Enjoy your sandwich in the park while taking in the view of the     <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelbarrientos.blogspot.com\/2007\/05\/ponte-25-de-abril.html\">     <i>Ponte 25 de Abril<\/i><\/a>     (the April 25 Bridge),     then take a nap in the warm sunshine. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/oldnewthing\/archive\/2008\/05\/19\/8518566.aspx\"> Second only to salt in the Portuguese diet<\/a> appears to be ranch dressing\/mayonnaise\/whatever that white sauce is. (Hence the need for extra napkins and the correct answer of &#8220;Only a little.&#8221;) If you&#8217;re not careful, you&#8217;ll find your sandwich drowning in approximately ten cubic meters of the stuff. But once you get past that, you have a tasty sandwich with warm meat and crunchy slaw on a crisp baguette. It&#8217;s sort of a Portuguese version of a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/oldnewthing\/archive\/2008\/05\/21\/8525412.aspx\"> Vietnamese sandwich<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Bel&eacute;m, directly to the east of the Mosteiro dos Jer&oacute;nimos is a block of small shops, the most famous one of which being the Past&eacute;is de Bel&eacute;m which sells the, um, Pastel de Bel&eacute;m, the Bel&eacute;m version of the unofficial dessert of Portugal.
