Churros are kind of like a Mexican
donut. Deep fried heaven. We first became aware of this delicacy at a
coffee restaurant in San Miguel de Allende.
I had seen a couple of churro stands in the mercados when we had been
wandering about. They are kind of a
street food here in Oaxaca. I noticed in
the parking lot of the Bodega Aurrera that there was a permanent churros
covered stand, but on previous visits it was not open.
Today was different and I sprung for
three churros. Of course one for Mary
Ann and two for me. They are best eaten
hot, and come with chocolate on the top if you want. We were just going into the supermarket, so
we decided to wait until later.
Probably, should have eaten them right then, but they were pretty good
cold, as a snack in the afternoon. Dough is squeezed from a ridged tube and fried and the
result sprinkled with sugar and sometimes cinnamon; with luck, you may be able
to dip them in chocolate. Oh man. Sinful
temptations!
Churros!
