Dinner Time Quiz #5

This time instead of the finished look I'll leave you with the pre-oven scenery...
In ancient times, before the discovery of the 'New World' potatoes were not part of the European diet, most dishes were served with turnips, chest nuts and other side dishes.
In Portugal we still have the tradition of preparing some dishes in the old fashioned way from time to time.
To ensure the proper quality of the ingredients used the chef must sometimes have a taste of the said ingredients, hence the white wine glass. It is strictly a quality issue, I wasn't trying to get wasted!
So... any guesses?

Wine on a Monday? You Bohemian you. If there's any leftover food you can save it for me, and any leftover wine too.

viking: Yup, pork loin it is, seasoned with mustard, honey, and white wine.

cream: If you had click sites, Portuguese Sites, Gastronomias on my links section you'd have found it too! That is one of my sources.
Coelho com nozes is rabbit with walnuts.
Haven't tried it though.
Sadly that gastronomias site is in Portuguese only.

Will your new place have countertops as nice?
