Yes, in Brazil: tortinha = tartlet ....
Mark Robertson Mar 15, 2011:
Yes it is a PT-PT PT-BT thing. In PT-PT a torta is a thinnish piece of sponge which is covered with a sauce or jam and then rolled up. In the UK this is called a Swiss Roll when sweet. In PT-BR a torta or tortinha is a tart or tartlet.
Mark Robertson Mar 15, 2011:
Torta Isn't a torta a Swiss Roll, not a tart? Tarte is tart. Or is this a PT-PT PT-BR thing?

Thanks Connie!
agree Michael Nightingale : Particularly that the bananas are caramelised (for example, by being pan fried briefly with some sugar), not just that there is caramel in the tortinha
