Churros – Yum!

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!
