In praise of Portuguese custard tarts

[RubyToogood]

Actually I'm talking snooty bollocks, because most places probably just buy them in anyway!

To be honest, I haven't tried one from there. I saw them when I was walking past this morning

I'm willing to act as tester. I will report back. Damn - I forgot to buy one when I was out

I'll put a note in my diary for tomorrow

i just had one from the Madeira

I need one of these now.

Unfortunately I'm in Woking which isn't renowned for its international patisserie.

 

[Dubversion]

what is Woking renowned for?

what is Woking renowned for?

According to Woking Council:

Famous author H.G. Wells lived in Woking and based the landing of the Martians from his famous book `War of the Worlds' on Horsell Common in Woking. Woking has a few famous sons and daughters, including pop legends Eric Clapton and Paul Weller and culinary queen Delia Smith

So now you know

I haven't seen much evidence that Delia has left her mark though...

I agree about these custard tarts - all the coffee shops round here sell them, and they are gorgeous!

I think you are allowed to be addicted to them if you are breastfeeding, personally. In fact, I think being addicted to them should be actively encouraged, even if it means stealing money, so long as that money is stolen from someone who lives in the same bedroom!

Enjoy!

Just continuing to derail about Woking, I just popped out of the office and saw a sign advertising "Woking Deli". With a faint hope of a portuguese pastry in the offing, I went to investigate....

I'm not kidding, it's a shipping container with a hole in it that is selling crisps out of boxes

I'm jealous of all the Portuguese custard tart eaters. I had a plain egg custard tart from down the road earlier, and you could definitely taste (smell) the egg.

I still haven't got one. I'm officially rubbish.

I have now put a note in for tomorrow. The issue will be addressed and resolved

You need a bullet point in the PCTE minutes, otherwise this will be on the agenda for next month's change control meeting.
