A pérola do Rossio

É lá que vou comprar os meus cházinhos, sempre que posso. Principalmente o nosso açoreano Gorreana verde, que não se consegue encontrar em nenhum super-mercado.

A "Pérola do Rossio" fica no Rossio, claro, no 105, mais ou menos entre a Camisaria Moderna e a Suiça, e têm sempre uma ofertinha simpática, uma bolachinha, um chocolatinho, qualquer coisa assim, para quem lá faz compras.

É mais uma daquelas lojas que, infelizmente, já quase não se usa...
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
