****CAUTION: This post contains content that pie-lovers may find disturbing . ****
On a leisurely stroll yesterday through the old town of Sant Julia de Loria, I came upon the bakery, 'Art i Pa'.
Hoping for another foreign pie experience, I went in and asked the lady for the best pie in the shop.
Without hesitation she reached for what she called a 'Tarta de Santiago', assuring me it was the best of all pastry goods on offer that day, filled with almond cream:
Imagine my dismay on sampling it to discover not the promised pie, but a cake. That's right, A CAKE.
Nor was there any sign of almond cream, just an assortment of crushed nuts, some of which very nearly did for one of my few remaining teeth.
An absolute disgrace, and a stain on the nation of Andorra.
