Me too.
Lidl is cheap and easy. For all pastry noms.
This bothers me massively:
I wanted to show the world that Portuguese patisserie is much more than just Pasteis de Nata (Portuguese custard tarts)!
These look all wrong
Even the jpeg is called ‘custard tarts’

They look like Chinese “Egg Tarts”. Influenced by their Portuguese colonies’ (Macau) produce.
Similar but quite different.

This may be true in a relative sense…
Empirical evidence would suggest otherwise.

Let’s discuss complementary beverages. Is there a finer combo on the planet than these with a double espresso?
I’m already becoming quite mournful for the ones I had in Carvoeiro, with a 60 cent espresso. @anon14766838 if you are going to the seaside let me know and I’ll hit you up with the address.

Lisbon last June:
The evidence is clear through the window of this Cathederal of Cake. However, no matter what alternative treats are on display, the default is this:
Double espresso is a must. Anything else smacks of decadence and moral decline. The birch should be firmly administered to those even considering milk and/or chocolate dustings on the caffeine delivery choices.

Feckin’ cappuccino??? I presume this is for the consumer of the apple tart.

no - our favourite was in the Sao Bento station in Porto - I think it was about €1.20 for espresso and Pasteis de Nata
We will end up on the coast, but much closer to the Spanish border at Tavira

It’s a picture from Trip Advisor.
Cunts. Best treated as a great title for a Julian Cope LP and otherwise ignored.
God, I can’t get over how bad those Fortnums ones are. What the fuck are they thinking?

How to rip gullible tourists off, most likely.
It was a scone. Very different experience. The pasteis can evoke feelings of trans dimensional exploration.

First taste should incorporate a similar quizzical contemplative countenance. Ideally with the veiled promise of fury and or ecstasy - See Sibelius for correct ‘sampling’

Indeed, even incorrect pronunciation can lead to the descent of the red mist and the necessity to unleash righteous retribution.
