Food And Drink in Lisbon (No. 4)

Pastel de nata is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry, optionally dusted with cinnamon. Outside Portugal, they are particularly popular in other parts of Western Europe, Asia and former Portuguese colonies, such as Brazil, Mozambique, Macau, Goa and East Timor. The Macanese pastel de nata was also adopted by KFC and is available in regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. In Indonesia, this pastry is especially popular in Kampung Tugu, Jakarta, a culturally Portuguese (Mardijker) enclave.

Pastéis de nata were created before the 18th century by Catholic monks at the Hieronymites Monastery (Portuguese: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) in the civil parish of Saint Mary of Bethlehem, in Lisbon. At the time, convents and monasteries used large quantities of egg-whites for starching clothes, such as friars and nuns' religious habits. It was quite common for monasteries and convents to use the leftover egg yolks to make cakes and pastries, resulting in the proliferation of sweet pastry recipes throughout the country.

In the aftermath of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, following the dissolution of religious orders and in the face of the impending closure of many convents and monasteries, the monks started selling pastéis de nata at a nearby sugar refinery to bring in revenue. In 1834, the monastery was closed and the recipe sold to the sugar refinery, whose owners in 1837 opened the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém. The descendants own the business to this day.

Since the opening of Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém, the original recipe of the pastel de nata is kept in a secret room. The Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém is the most popular place to buy pastéis de nata; the shop is located just a short three-minute walk from the Jerónimos Monastery. The shop offers both take out and sit in services and sells over 20,000 pastéis de nata a day. Usually the tart is sprinkled with canela (cinnamon), and often accompanied with a bica (a strong espresso coffee).

In 2009 The Guardian listed pastéis de Belém as one of the 50 "best things to eat" in the world. In 2011, following the result of a public vote, the pastry was announced as one of Portugal's Seven Wonders of Gastronomy, further cementing it as one of the country's most popular national dishes.

OH GOOD YOU’RE PORTUGESE i’m potentially flying to lisbon for the first time on tuesday, is it worth going? i’ve never been to portugal and speak like no portugese. i thought spanish and portugese were basically the same but. they are indeed not sgsgshsk i’m scared i’ll be a bit lost if i do go. i’m sure it’s an absolutely lovely place but new places scary 😭

I am!!! Lisbon is very beautiful, although right now is rather full of tourists so it might be a little busy! If you do get the time, i recommend getting a train pass and going to check out also Sintra and Cascais! :D (about half an hour train ride to both)! Food's great, pastries are great, there's a lot of history going all the way back to the romans, very nice historical places (if they seem too glorifying of the portuguese impire and our golden age or whatever, we like to pretend we were kings of the world and not colonists who enslaved people, its a little quirk we got with our history!) but its also quite lovely and has a lot of culture, you arrive pretty close to the popular saints celebrations in lisbon so those are always fun too!!

There's also the annual book fair going on right now so that's also something to do!! (Going there on friday so I can add even more books to my tbr zjzkzkzns)

Dont worry about not speaking portuguese, almost everyone who works in lisbon knows english, and tbh even if you speak spanish we'll understand it most of the time! Its not hard to get around at all and english will be understood just about anywhere, even by people walking around, I've been stopped in the middle of the street to give directions to tourists more times than i can count 😄

Overall tho, we have a reputation of being very nice and welcoming (cause we need tourists' money) so no need to worry about that!

#letter opened #onalaundryline #the basics are really #olá = hello | adeus = bye | boa tarde = good afternoon | bom dia = good morning | obrigado = thank you #pastel de nata = egg custard tart <- a must but dont waste time and money at pasteis de belem unles you really want to #rigjt across the street you Manteigaria and its usually leas crowded and the pasteis de nata are much better!

Day 1 Lisbon in 32,729 steps

Oh my! I am feeling weary after a big day of walking. I slow climbed into a hot bath when I returned at about 8.30pm.

The weather was not as cool as I anticipated, a lovely high of 17° and only a little sprinkle of rain at around 5pm.

I started the day at the hotel buffet and had my first Pastel de nata. It actually tasted quite good, but I do understand why the one I had later in the day at Manteigaria was award winning. It was served warm and the pastry was lighter and the filling creamier. It may have helped that I purchased a shot of Espinheira with it (it was basically "I'll have what she's having"!)

I first walked to the glamorous El Corte Inglés department store to see what the fuss might be about. I ended up using the WC and buying a bottle of water! I'm thinking the summer sales will be on when I return to Lisbon at the end of May and my suitcase might be a bit lighter.

I then headed up and down a few hills to a recommended cafe, Comoba, for a local latte (galão) before moving onto lunch at Time Out Market Lisboa for lunch. The codfish croquette was recommended at Croqueteria. It was the tastier of the three I had (cuttlefish with squid ink and tuna were the other two), with a side of sweet potato crisps, creamed spinach and a glass of rose for €12. I met Mary and Elaine from Kentucky (now retired, but former work colleagues) who were sitting beside me also trying to work out the process for ordering. They are on a short trip, river cruise up the Duoro River to Salamanca, Spain and return. Elaine totally got me when I mentioned my "gap" years, particularly the one sans men. And they reported they were very happily retired (although Elaine did say she was volunteering for 15 hours per week). They seemed to also keep themselves occupied with several short overseas holidays.

For the afternoon I'd pre-booked the 2.5+ hour Sandemans New Europe walking tour with Nuno (originally from the north of Portugal, he moved to Lisbon in 2012 to pursue acting). The itinerary included the central district of Bairro Alto and a visit to the oldest bookstore in the world (Bertrand), several cool views of Lisbon, including from the Santa Justa Elevator, a history lesson on the Great Earthquake of 1755 and the intriguing story of the peaceful Carnation Revolution and the end of the dictatorship on 24th April 1974 and lots of food recommendations.

I ended the evening with dinner at Sebastião, pre-booked on the Fork app. I ate a whole roasted octopus (the waiter assured me it was ok to eat everything) with sautéed turnip tops and sweet potato. It was a large meal and quite tasty (aside from a couple of gritty bits), served with a lovely glass of red he recommended that wasn't on the menu. The waiter also gave me a very basic Portugese language lesson, apparently it's mostly a nasal language and the words I have been using are all a bit wrong. Bring on those classes this week in Alvor.

My favourite human contact today was with Mary and Elaine from Kentucky.

Best food - definitely the Pastel de Nata at Confeitaria da Gloria.

Best beverage - the latte at Comoba.

Most interesting story - the Carnation Revolution and how recent that really was and Nuno's perspective that over the past 10 years "Portugal" is acknowledging and taking responsibility for all the wrong doings from the past and changing the language to describe this, eg instead of "slave trading" saying "human trafficking".

It rained all day the last day we were in Porto. We still ventured out for a late breakfast so Garrett could sleep in after watching the Texas game. We then went back to our apartment and I read for a while. The rain still not letting up, we decided to try to go out again. We had a couple leather shops and Mercado do Bolhao still on our list of things to do. We capped off the excursion with the classic Portuguese pastry, pasteis de nata. Although we haven’t mentioned them here yet, we have actually been eating a pasteis de nata almost daily. I think the official count is 16 in total (all from Manteigaria).

We went back to the apartment to dry off and I picked up my book again. Later we grabbed very late dinner at a place on our street called Tasco, where all the servers seemed like best friends and the food was awesome.

The following morning we took a train back to Lisbon, and we accidentally got off at the wrong stop in Lisbon. Luckily, we were only 15 to 20 minutes away from our hotel and we just grabbed an Uber to take us the rest of the way.

I booked a super cool and romantic hotel for our last night in Portugal in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon. We spent the day walking around and stopping in some shops as things caught our interest. I found a sweater and a wool poncho (hopefully I will figure out how to wear it) and Garrett found a cool deck of cards (his go to choice for souvenir from any trip). We also happened across Rua Garrett (Garrett street) while we were out.

For dinner on our final night we did a chefs tasting menu at a nearby restaurant named Prado that I booked a few months ago. Dinner was great, but a little long considering we had a super early flight out of Portugal the next morning. Garrett passed the time between courses laughing at people trying to figure out where the bathroom was.

We are back in the US now! Sir and Charlie are happy to be back home, and we’re all in bed by 8:45!

had to follow your blog because of the beautiful photography and your positive energy! i also had a question- i’m traveling to portugal and morocco this summer and i was wondering if you have any recommendations or tips? thanks 💕

Thank you for your sweet words, you made me smile 🌸 for Portugal I don't have much to say as I've only been to Lisbon for 4 days and to  Porto for 24 hours, just be prepared to walk, eat all the pasteis de nata (Manteigaria!) and make some time to visit the castles of Sintra as well as the numerous independent bookstores of the capital- I fell in love with livraria Sá Da Costa. The Alfama district and the castle of Saint George are some of the most majestic spots of the city.

As for Morocco, prefer bright and flowy garments, over shorts, don´t forget your  a hat and  sunscreen. Do not drink or brush your teeth with tap water, - it´s potable but you´re problably not accustomed to its bacteria and my friends suffered some unpleasant complications from it. I don´t know your budget or accomodation of choice but for me, put luxurious riads and restaurants aside for a while and explore the old cities. If you take a taxi make sure that the counter is on before the driver starts and agree on the price before embarking, and never follow anyone who isn´t a registered tour guide. Those guidelines aren´t specific for Morocco, I think they are common sense advice for any travel abroad. Practicalities aside, visiting the bazaars and getting lost inside the medina of each city is a must, as it is to negotiate the price with merchants- it sounds overwhelming but it´s great fun (to my pleasure I still was their victim, but my magpie brain couldn´t resist). If you´re not already planning to go to the desert please do! I was hesitant at the beginning and thought that the whole thing would be overly performative and touristic, which it is, but you´ll experience  landscapes  beyond your imagination and pass through tiny villages that, for me, are worth all the travel. If you are muslim you´ll be able to visit the inside of mosques, not being able to do as a non-muslim was my biggest regret but there are many madrasas to compensate you. The food is divine and really one of the attractions itself so please don´t be that tourist who looks for pizza or pasta in the old city! Overall it´s a once in a lifetime travel for me, Moroccans are extremely helpful and on many occasions went out and beyond their way to help us,  and also admirably polyglot! Like everywhere in the world, you have to be mindful of tourist traps and scams, maybe a little more since you´re outside of your western comfort zone. From what I observed among other tourists, the more culturally prepared and free from judgement you are, the more you will enjoy the country; by that I mean having a general idea of the cultural and moral norms -whether you internally agree or not is trivial, you are a guest and freely decided to enter the country so by definition you have to abide- and respect them, without pointing out obvious everyday problems and malfunctions, as if Moroccans don´t already know them. 

I wish you the best of times and you can always contact me if you need specific names and addresses 🌙

20/12/2023 - Lunch

🇵🇹 Mercado Da Ribeira, Lisbon

aka Time Out Market. Couldn't resist the allure of cured meats even though we were still full.

🐷 Manteigaria Silva (€ 12, $17.52)

Bisaro, chestnut-fed pork ham from the Tras-os-Montest Region. Salty, umami and shaved extremely thinly. Comes with an assortment of breads. A good snack. Still prefer jamon with more fat but this was a nice starter to our journey for cured meats.

Food And Drink in Lisbon (No. 5)

Capilé is the syrup of avenca, more specifically of capillaria, a type of herbaceous fetus, or the refreshment that can be obtained from that same syrup. 

The name capilé is derived from Latin, more precisely from french capillaire or "made with capillária", a type of avenca, which derives from capillum by recalling a hair.

A drink much appreciated in Portugal, its recipe dates back to the eighteenth century, made from natural products. Capilé syrup is referred to in the cookbook, The Modern Cook or New Art of Cooking, written by Lucas Rigaud in the year 1780.

In volume number two of his work, Rigaud refers to the syrup of avenca, which in this case gives the name "capiler". The recipe is set out in chapter XXX:

"Pour an ounce of avenca leaves into a pint of boiling agoa, and let it be infused in the short aftermath in the space of twelve hours; then pass by the peneiro, pour this çumo into a arratel to blow in point of breaking, put yourself in a bowl with aftermath underneath, and mild heat, and equal two, or three days; reducing the assucar, and forming wire, which if it does not break between the fingers, store itself in bottles after cold, such as the antecedents."

The syrup is made by infusing the leaves of the avenca properly crushed, to which is added sugar, and can be flavored with orange blossom water. Through infusion are extracted from the plant both the aromas and the substances that have therapeutic activity.

To make the refreshment the syrup is diluted with water and ice and lemon peel is added.

☕️ Manteigaria Nata

[brunomacedo1977]

Nota prévia: Não conheço ninguém da Manteigaria, nem me pagaram para escrever isto (mas deviam!). Existem sei-lá-quantas casas de pastéis de nata espalhadas por Lisboa. Várias com uma qualidade muito semelhante. Mas apenas a Manteigaria tem qualidade e um preço como-deve-ser. Café + pastel = 2€. Irrita-me profundamente todas as outras casas que para meterem a unha a mais 0,05c ou 0,10c obriguem um gajo a andar com trocos. Só me enganam 1 vez! Escusam de agradecer por esta dica extremamente útil, ando cá para vos ajudar. (em Rua Augusta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coeq1NSMTxJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FOTOS DE SUCURSAIS, EM LISBOA, DE FIRMAS COM SEDE EM VALE DE CAMBRA.

No jornal A Voz de Cambra nº 513 de 1 de Setembro de 1992, iniciamos a publicação de vários artigos em que descrevemos a "Evolução da Indústria no Concelho de Vale de Cambra". Tempos depois, na edição de 25 de Dezembro de 2010 e sgts, debruçamo-nos sobre as suas sucursais, em Lisboa, com destaque para as firmas Martins-Rebello e Lacto Lusa, entre outras. Ilustravam os ditos trabalhos várias fotografias, da nossa autoria, que aqui voltamos a reproduzir. Como, ao longo dos anos, os referidos espaços comerciais foram sendo modificados, aqui deixamos mais algumas fotos, na esperança que possam vir a ser úteis aos jovens estudantes, nomeadamente do ISCTE e ISCSP, que se venham a interessar por estas matérias.
