A Random iIsland in the Middle of the South China Sea
If you think of a tart, you think of a small pie, usually a lemon tart, or an apple tart, or something of the sort. Your child hood memories might include mom’s roast chicken, or grandma’s feather bed. But even if you go to New York, people there will not say, “my mom/grandma made the best egg tarts ever.” Of course, in Portugal that might not be the case. Egg tarts are mini pies that taste like custard, have a flakier crust, and are way better. Cinnamon, lemon cocktail herbs (++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start) and more sits on a forlorn shelf waiting to be poured. What makes it better is if you are sitting on a jetty on an random island called Macau, with the tide coming in, every move stirring up at least fifty crabs and twenty flying fish, and the pie still warm in your hand from Lord Stow’s Bakery. But choose a spot without a four inch dead fish.
