Portuguese Delights

Admittedly knowing very little about Portugal, I had no idea that Portuguese specialties included cod and pastries (and more pastries).  A few specialties I was able to capture before devouring.


Pao de Deus  (God's Bread).


Cod Carpaccio (not exactly traditional but as a waiter told me, the Portuguese can prepare cod over 100 ways).


Pastel de Nata (world famous egg custard tart sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar).  BEWARE: this can be done very well or not so well...


Mercado da Ribeira food market with stands of various restaurants throughout Lisbon so you can try them all.
