Portuguese immigrants came to Provincetown in the 19th century to work in the fishing and whaling industries. Today, nearly one-fourth of Provincetown residents claim Portuguese ancestries. Portuguese pastries can be obtained at the Provincetown Portuguese Bakery (299 Commercial St).
(left to right) Malassada - Portuguese sweet fried dough.
Trutas - Sweet potato filled pastry with whiskey, lemon, sugar, and cinnamon.
Patinhas de Veado - Rum flavored sponge cake with Bavarian cream, cinnamon, and coconut.
Note to self: These weren't as tasty as I had hoped.
