There was a nice little puff-piece on the news about a Portuguese bakery opening up in Los Angeles. Visited by the likes of Nicole Kidman, Kevin Bacon and Ben Stiller, the reporter broke the news that pastels nata were taking Hollywood by storm.

But then our cousin pointed out that each pastel nata, which is a little custard tart in a puff pastry filling, contains 800 calories! Nearly as much as a Big Mac! At my present rate it would take me four hours in the gym to burn off one nata!
