It was our first holiday of the year. Madeira sounded old ladies' holiday destination... I know Marcus's ladies love going to Madeira. I am sure some ladies even have holiday homes.
Portugal, what first came in my head was, of course, Portuguese custard tart. When I was in London, long time ago, I used to live on those one point. All I ate was pastries. Nothing else. Of course, I was not in good mental state, as you can imagine, sugar and white carbo do to your brain and body is horrendous. Anyway, I still do love my pastries and cakes, just i don't eat them as often as I used to. I hardly eat them these days, unless, I go on holiday. I always want to try local products and eat their bread and pastry. Sometimes, even eating breads, it doesn't affect me as much as when I eat them here in U.K. Not sure why, how wheat and sugar affect me in different countries. This is a mystery...
Anyway, as soon as we got to the destination, we went out to the beach, there were shops,bakeries, and bars. All we interested in was supermarkets, where we could purchase our groceries. We don't drink, so not interested in bars, Marcus and i only could eat certain things, so, usually restaurants were out. Unless finds chips and salad, of course!
When I found a Portuguese custard tart, I was so excited. I went into the shop and bought it without hesitation. I had anti histamine tablets, so I was well prepared. I was willing to pay the tart by me feeling ill or not able to sleep etc, I was ready to rock!

One lead to another, I had a few custard tart whilst in Madeira. They were deep filled and so yummy, much much delish than last one I had in U.K.
Since then, I haven't had any Portuguese custard tart. I will eat them next time we are back to Madeira.
Apparently, someone now flies from Stanstead Air Port now. When we went there, we flew from Gatwick by Monarch. And returned with Eazyjet.
Oh, by the way, strong black coffee and custard tart went well together. I had them in a restaurant in the mountain. It was after our long walks, so , I didn't feel guilty about eating it!
Yum Yum. 😊
