You're called a pastel de nata,
You're just a fucking custard tart,
The hype and buzz is worth nada,
You're called a pastel de nata,
You're not really any better,
Pastry's different, but at heart,
You're called a pastel de nata,
You're just a fucking custard tart,

A nice combination of humor and anger. I like the repetition of the near rhymes with the couplets, it gave it kinda of a school yard chant quality to it.

I'd been hearing about this thing and how it was amazing for months. It really is very little different from a british custard tart. Not as deep filled and some with different pastry, but incredibly similar. Its nice, but not out of this world.

Maybe you didn't find one really good, it depends on how it's done, I have a bakery in Oporto that have one fabulous Pastel de Nata, it's made by them and it's always fresh (sometimes I get one coming out of the hoven).
And then you have Pastel de Belem, similar to Pastel de nata but with a recipe of their own.
Bottom line, that's similar to custard tart, yes, it's good, yes, but we have in Portugal much better cakes (like the travesseiros from Periquita) or the amazing Tentugal pastries and of course the fabulous Azeitão pie, just to give you few examples...

Pointing in English means the same as pointing in Portuguese. We were fine.
