Lisbon – the City of Egg Tarts

“What made you decide on Lisbon?” our Uber driver asks, as he winds his way through the rolling, narrow cobblestone streets of Bairro Alto. “Egg tarts,” is the reply. This is not untrue; most of my travels are at least in some part prompted by gastronomic ends. Read Tonima Hossain’s egg-tart Odyssey in The Daily Star
