We made it to Portugal and today is our first day out sightseeing. And our first order of business had to be food of course. So today we're actually trying this. And this is called Pastéis De Nata or Pastéis De Belém. And it is basically an egg custard tart and it looks absolutely delicious. These actually originated over at the Jerónimos Monastery which is just over there. And it was a recipe created by the monks. So it looks like they were good bakers guys. Pretty tasty looking. We picked these up from the original store where they were first produced. And it was absolutely chaos inside. And something that is really cool is that the first time we ever tried these was actually in Asia when we were in Macau. A former Portuguese settlement. Yes, and you can find these in Brazil and Hong Kong. Anywhere where the Portuguese went. Yeah, exactly. But now it is time to add this to our little tarts. Alright, so what we have here is we have a pack of cinnamon and icing sugar. Yes. So that is going to give it an extra sweet kick. Let's sprinkle that on. I've had these before but never with icing sugar and cinnamon so I think it is going to be extra special. The winning combo. Mmmm hmmmm. That's nice. Wow! It's still warm. Fresh out of the oven. And it is really nice. Have a look. I really like this because sometimes when you have an egg tart it tastes like cooked egg. And that is just wrong. Dessert should not taste like egg. But this is like a really nice creamy custard. Very sweet. It tastes like a proper dessert. I'm happy. So in terms of ingredients it is made with egg yolks, milk flour and sugar and it is time for my first bite here. It's a pretty simple recipe but it's 'oh so good.' Mmmm. So for today's lunch video we're eating one item alone. We are trying Bacalhau which is dried salted cod and this is a fish that is very popular here in Portugal. Now the cod used to be salted because that is the method of preservation that they used before refrigerators were widely available so that meant fish became really hard and salted. And then once you actually wanted to cook it you had to soak it in water just to remove a bit of the salt and also soften it again. And that is a food tradition that has been passed down. So today we are trying three different items. If you want to have a look here. All prepared with cod - Bacalhau. Oh la la. We've only got three things to taste here but apparently there is a saying "That you can make Bacalhau 365 days a year using a different recipe or a different technique." So it is lunchtime here in Portugal and today we took the ferry over from Lisbon to Cacilhas. And this is a great place to eat seafood because we're right by the Tagus River and fresh seafood is available at every single restaurant. So we found a local little spot, Sam has ordered Salmon, and I've ordered halibut. So we're waiting for that to arrive and then we're going to show you some Portuguese seafood.
