We are in Vila Nova de Cerveira at the medieval fair.
We round a corner and there is not just a stall, but a massive oven standing a little back from the pavement and a baker in medieval garb busy baking.
What he is baking is an item I’ve never seen before, and they are mega busy since there is a queue at least three deep at the counter of the stall next to the oven, everyone is eagerly waiting for the next tray to make it’s way from the oven to the front of the stall.
The queue is so big that it looks like I’d have to wait for the next lot to come from the oven so clearly these are insanely popular. … and Yes, I tried to ask but the guy shook his head with a smile and didn’t seem comfortable attempting any English. It looked rather like bread but it didn’t smell like bread, so I’m left wondering.
I am determined to try and find out these are… if anyone knows and can give me a clue then wonderful, I’d massively appreciate your thoughts.
Meantime, here are photos of the baker hard at work and the gorgeous deliciousness being served up….
