This flatbread, made with sweet potato and flour, is often enjoyed warm, slathered with garlic butter, making it a beloved accompaniment to meals. Traditionally served at gatherings, it symbolizes the island's hospitality and is now enjoyed in various forms across Portugal and beyond, often adapted with different toppings.
