●節目摘要：
說到蛋塔，也許你會想到香港、肯德基，但你知道蛋塔是葡萄牙最知名的甜點嗎？「葡萄牙蛋塔 Pastel de Nata/ Portuguese custard tart」氣味香濃，高溫烘焙後的表層酥脆、塔內仍保有滑順口感，不過在葡萄牙的每間店裡作法皆不盡相同，而歷史最悠久的一間「貝倫蛋塔店 Pastéis de Belém」不僅總是人潮滿滿，背後更有著趣味的歷史故事。十七世紀時，修道士們會用蛋白來清洗衣物，而蛋黃則被使用來做甜點販售，也就是蛋塔的由來。貝倫蛋塔的食譜輾轉到了修道院附近製糖廠的手中，他們隨後創建了貝倫蛋塔店；至今，那份食譜仍被保存在密室裡，連店員都不能偷看配方，整個葡萄牙也就只有這間店能夠稱自家的蛋塔為貝倫蛋塔喔！

●口說練習題：
Question: How did the merchant get the secret recipes of Pastéis de Belém?
Answer:
They got the secret recipes from the monks, who ended up selling the custard tarts after the monastery closed. The recipe is still kept in a locked room now, so not many people have learned this magic behind Pastéis de Belém.
從前的修道士在修道院關閉後開始販賣蛋塔，後來將食譜交給了商人。現在，這份食譜仍被存放在密室中，所以知道貝倫蛋塔真正配方的人並不多。
