Stumbled on a free food tour in Lisbon that changed how I eat abroad

I was walking through the Time Out Market in Lisbon last month and a local guy just started handing out samples of grilled sardines. He said follow me if you want more. I tagged along for 45 minutes through 4 different stalls - got cod cakes, pastel de nata, and a glass of vinho verde. Not a single euro spent. Has anyone else found random free walking food tours in other cities?

45 minutes of free food? That's wild, I would've been so suspicious lol. Sounds like you hit the jackpot with that guy.

Those 45 minutes probably had some tense moments though. I'd be side-eyeing every bite wondering when the catch was coming.
