Here are some notes that I worked up before I went to Portugal. I used a
large library dictionary and visited the Portuguese National Tourist
Office a couple times:

I had no problems. But, the last item is asking if any breaded item has
been in the frying oil. It tended to confuse them, as they (at least in
the southern part) don't fry anything in oil.
