Dinner is often a family time where 'arroz e feijão' is served. In many households, 'cozinhar o jantar' happens around 7 PM or 8 PM. The 'jantar' is the main social event of the evening. It almost always starts with a vegetable soup, a tradition that is very strong in Portuguese homes. Traditional dishes like 'funge' are often prepared for dinner.

The 'O' is Key
