International foodie treats – its not all about the golf!
Whislt travelling for golf, I have to eat- right? Why not make the golf trip about more than golf and take in some of these delicious delicacies on your travels?
To be honest, I don’t know if I’m a foodie, just appreciate good food, or maybe just a good old fashioned pig – but is there really much of a difference – I love food!
Lisbon, Portugal
Pastel de Nata – Made in the old traditional way in the middle of Belèm, Lisbon’s tourist area; you will find this family run bakery and cafe Antiga Confeitaria de Belém. Using the traditional secret family recipe for this up-market egg tart with thousands being sold daily to tourists and locals alike. This sweet little egg tart packs a punch in flavour requiring all diets to be long forgotten and reaching for more to savour. There is usually a queue to stand in, but take the time to watch the locals buy and devour these little sweet treats before settling yourself down in the refectory style café on wood and metal school-like chairs and formica table tops – you’re not there for the decor!
