What is the difference between Pastel-de-nata - which I like and Pastel-de-belem?

Time for Porto's and Portugal's most famous sandwich, the francesinha.



It's just bread with cheese and verious kinds of smoked meat/sausages, but it tastes delicious. The magic, as always, is in the sauce.

Francesinha is overrated. It's nothing more than a expensive sandwich, with the sauce being the key ingredient.

In my opinion, the taste is not worth the time you have to wait for making one (if you're the one cooking it).

Pastel de Belém is the original, the recipe is secret. The pasteis de nata are imitations.

How is the taste different?

How is the taste different?

I don't know. I've eaten them several times, but the last was a long time ago. I don't remember the taste. Because you have to go to Belém to eat them. The secret too is the time you eat, you have to eat soon after being made​​, still warm.

You have to try it to taste the difference. But a Pastel de Belém just out of the owen is something you will never forget. If you eat too much of them, you won't forget it too 

Some years ago the record of the Café was 28. I guess that was already beaten. I could not get more than 15 without a huge tunderstorm down under.

Btw, sunday is Bike time in Sintra, Arrábida or Monsanto, depending on the time I have to do it, and of course where Benfica plays if the match is on sunday...

I'm not a fan of football on TV, except in very rare occasions (FA Cup Final, Champions League Final) so that's not an option. I am just a fan of Benfica...

Unfortunately all the specialities these guys posted before, I like. Unfortunately because I just did some medical exams

Faliro, I met a Greek girl last week (quite cute by the way) and her mom made a dinner for her friends and all, so I had boureki, and thought it was really good!
