Pasteis the nata. Portugal 🇵🇹
My vote goes to Pasteis de Nata.
Eu amo muito pastel de Nata ou de Belém, mas aqui no Brasil são poucos lugares que fazem um bom pastel de Belém, mas que é bom, é bom! Aliás a comida portuguesa é incrível
100% with the churros and the Portuguese tart! The later is my all time favourite. Also with the carrot cake! 🎉🎉🎉

The portuguese ... what? Tart?
Tried 3 out of 5: 1, 4, 5. Fav is pasteis de belem. There’s baumkuchen in japan, n lemon meringue anywhere but haven’t tried the ones in europe. I like the thick chocolate you dip the churros into. There’s scone everywhere too but i tried the one in uk w clotted cream which is unique to UK..

@@JohnTronto you can travel whole Portugal to try it, you have it in the north, south and islands...but to summarize everything and help you in this journey just go to a pastry shop called ALCOA, you can find it in CHIADO - center of Lisbon or if you really want to go to the original one, you go to a town in central Portugal called ALCOBAÇA! They have the best pastry chefs in Portugal that follow the recipes of the nuns, most of this pastries were invented by nuns in convents and monasteries. Besides this pastry heaven called Alcoa you have to try: PAO DE LÓ From OVAR, TORTAS DE AZEITAO From Setúbal, DOCES REGIONAIS From Algarve, PÃO de DEUS From Padaria Portuguesa (pastry shop in Lisboa too), MIL FOLHAS (it’s just like pastéis de nata, you have to search in every pastry shop who has the best MIL FOLHAS) and the list goes on and on...👍🏻😋 Have a delicious stay in Portugal

Cream and jam is what the English out on this Scottish treat. It is brilliant but we also bake them with treacle, raisins, or cheese. And then you have the best variety, the traditional Highland scone which is only ever made in a triangle and is a lighter tastier scone.

It was perfectly clear from the second item that unterm*nschen pastries will not be shown. Some habits simply never go away. Funnily though, I expected them to at least sprinkle in some Austro-Hungarian pastries to make it a bit less obvious. Alas, DW staff really didn't feel like traveling to our icky countries and preferred a field trip to London. Cheeky Germans strike again.

Churros are from China. The Spanish horchata (a creamy summer drink made from the chufa nut, native to Africa) and turron (an almond nougat candy) still taste of their Moorish past. A perfect example of the sweet Moorish heritage is the soplillo de la Alpujarra. The Moors introduced almonds in pastry making, and now it's an essential part of Spanish gastronomy including the famous tarta de almendras in Spain. Other desserts influenced by the Moors are now also Christian inspired, such as torrijas de Semana Santa (Spanish french toast) and tocinos de cielo (egg and syrup flan). Could go on.

@@victorgomez4107 Europeans have 3 common ancestors, indigenous hunter-gatherers, and the other 2 of them is Middle Eastern farmer DNA and Eurasian Steppe. Lounes Chikhi, from University College London, and colleagues estimated that Middle Eastern farmers contributed roughly 50 per cent of the analysed genes to modern European populations. Since modern-day northern Europeans descended in large part from the Corded Ware culture and therefore have more steppe ancestry than first-farmer ancestry. The modern populations with more Yamnaya-derived ancestry are, if I remember it correctly, the Norwegians and the Scottish.

Baumkuchen is a pale version of the Lithuanian šakotis cake, which also would have added some diversity to this exclusively Western European spread.
@kommad.2931

I'd like to try that some day too. Baumkuchen seems to have been invented earlier though with the first recipe dating back to the 16th century. So, whether pale or not, that might be a reason why baumkuchen is better known and šakotis cake might rather be a different version of baumkuchen. ;-)

Pastéis de Belém really is amazing - but ONLY those from the original bakery shown in the video!! Far too many tourists confuse the pastéis de nata (sold everywhere across Lisbon) with the real thing. They are worlds apart.
@Palmieres
Ай бұрын
Not exactly true. Several small pastry shops have far better pastéis than the ones in Belém. The reason why people (well, tourists) favour the ones in Belém is because the demand from that shop is so high that the pastries are always sold as they get out of the oven. If you let them rest for a couple of hours they end up tasting exactly like the ones sold in other shops. And the demans is high because Belém is a very popular neighbourhood for tourism, the lines go on forever and the factory must keep baking them on and on throughout the day. If you go to Manteigaria (another very famous pastry shop), you'll get the same quality. Notice how there are nearly no Portuguese customers at the Belém shop? That's because we know where to find other equally good or even better pastéis in other places. There's no secret to these pastries, anyone can make them at home. The only thing is, if you buy them, buy them fresh, and they'll be almost always fantastic.
Scone is my most fav
