Fried custard?

Stayed local to the hotel for dinner tonight as choices were limited because it is Sunday which is the most common day for resturaunts to close. We went to a pizzeria across the street (I did say we stayed local). Our starter was frito misto which in my previous experience has meant a mixture of fried seafood, however in this case it was a literal translation of "fried mix". It was a battered and deep fried adventure! We encountered fried courgette leaves, fried stuffed olives, fried calzone, fried mini pizza and even fried apple slices. All of which were nice and very different. Then came the biggest surprise...a fried cube of custard!! Pam and I both tried it (because I was not going to be the only one). It actually was very nice but after just chewing a fried rice ball it was truly a unique taste experience.
