The bridge, the Mosteiro dos Jéroni...You’re .......<br />The bridge, the Mosteiro dos Jéronimos and “A Fábrica dos pastéis de Belém” (aka Antiga Pastelaria de Belém), with lots and lots of young Lisboets spreading on the adjacent lawns, powdered sugar and cinnamon all over the place .... a dream for any insulin merchant.<br />I’ve actually kept my word and we had 6 pieces yesterday evening (Christine eating only 2). I send you a snapshot as evidence, on your mailbox. Liquid goodie was nothing less than my very last bottle of Ramos Pinto’s 20 y old tawny, a gift from Jõa Almeida himself.<br />Before that, exquisite edible crab it was (a large female which I freed from her daily suffering through fast immersion in my “court-bouillon”), with not the best Alvarinho I had, but still OK (13 vol % plus a bit of unnecessary residual) and the only one easily available in Perpignan.<br />In a way, it was a case of “tourteau before the torta”!Luc Charliernoreply@blogger.com
