Happy National Dessert Day. π«
We have a rule when we travel. If someone who actually lives there tells us to try something β we try it.
Even if it is not something we would normally order.
Even if it sounds like something we have had before and were not impressed by.
Because it is almost never the same thing.
Our guide in Lisbon told us we had to try the best chocolate cake in the world. I do not really eat cake. I am not a big fan of chocolate. I went along mostly to be polite. π
What I was not expecting was whatever that was. Dense. Rich. Nothing like what I call chocolate cake at home. I could have eaten the whole thing. β¨
That little detour was not on any itinerary. It was just someone who knew the city telling us where to go. That is what we try to build into every trip we plan. π
Happy National Dessert Day. Go try something you would not normally order. π€
