Festa das Carnes celebrates meat traditions in Lisbon

The Festa das Carnes event is being held at Praça Beato in Lisbon, focusing on the culinary heritage and sensory differences of four specific meats: beef, pork, lamb, and kid goat. Curated by gastronomy critic Edgardo Pacheco, the initiative features dishes by chef Vítor Sobral, who is celebrating a 40-year career.

In addition to showcasing various preparations, such as braised beef tongue and lamb stew, the event emphasizes the integral use of the animal and the importance of production systems that respect animal welfare. The program also includes a public debate featuring nutritionists and health experts to discuss the role of meat in a balanced diet.
