Churros con chocolate! A treat that I have come to enjoy. The churro con chocolate finds its origin in Spain and is sometimes referred to as the Spanish doughnut. These delacasies are fried-dough pastry snacks, sometimes made from potato dough. Churros are also loved in a variety of countries including: Latin America, France, Portugal and the U.S. The snack gets its name from its shape, which resembles the horns of the Churro a breed of sheep reared in the Spanish grasslands of Castilla. There are two types of churros in Spain. One is thin -usually knotted-and the other, especially popular in Madrid, is long and thick. They both are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in delicious chocolate. I have had my fair share of these treats and have to cut myself off otherwise I would be spending quite a bit of money on fried dough. However, the thing I took away from this experience is why they are shaped the way they are. Who would have thought is was becasue of sheep?
