Is not my intention to compare
these two almonds tarts, both are great representative of the traditional
kitchen of north of Spain and England and for me both tastes just fantastic!
Treacle Tart.

| Harry Potter´s Hall Food |
Treacle tart together with the
Bakewell tart has been a constant treat for the English kids and the whole
family easy to get it any bakery and also in most of the British food
restaurants. The tart that started being
a simple mix between sugar and honey for helping roman soldiers against snake’s
bites has become even more popular because it is Harry Potter favourite food. Treacle tart recipe.
Galician
Almond Tart – Tarta de Santiago.

| Tarta de Santiago |
The origins
of this almond tart are not very clear but without doubt their history is
linked with the historical pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela. Visit the
Compostela Cathedral for expressing gratitude or in difficult times like now in
Spain asking for help to where Saint James body rest , still the goal of around
130000 pilgrims by year of any part of
the world like in medieval times and as always the Tarta de Santiago full of sweetness
and the extraordinary food properties of the almonds help to recover those
pilgrims who have been walking thousands
of miles to pay visit to Saint James. Tarta de Santiago recipe
