Try to recall, c'mon: pork cubes cooked in an oily sauce, with lots of stuff inside, including black olives.

Cozido?

Damn, I'm getting old, my memory. I even remember that the starter was fresh cheese, cut in pieces which then you could place ...[text shortened]... nd spice with salt and pepper only.

Sagres was the beer? Damn... I must go back to Lisbon.

Ha! But Cozido 'a Portuguesa has tons of stuff, I just wouldn't call it with olives. Is it this:

Dutch food is tasteless, but the cheese is very good, at least a lot better than that mold the French dare to call fromage in their cuisine.

Finnish food is even more tasteless and I can only get the lowest quality Dutch cheese here.
