This article explores the origins of churros, delicious fried dough treats popular in Spain. While many believe churros are a Spanish invention, there's a theory they originated in China and were brought to Spain by Portuguese traders.
You might think you already understand the glory of churros. They’re deep-fried sticks of dough, rolled in sugar and dipped in thick, hot chocolate. It doesn’t get much better, right? But you haven’t even heard the best part. See, you can eat these things for breakfast. Guilt-free. Like you’re being totally normal. You’re in Spain , you get out of bed at 9am or so, you wander downstairs to your nearest purveyor of delicious things, and you tuck into a massive plate of churros.
Why aren’t we all living like this? Why do the rest of us have to wait until dessert 12 hours later? The Spanish have really got things sorted. And there’s even another churros-eating window on the Iberian Peninsula, from about 4pm to 6pm, when everyone has another sweet treat for a meal called merienda.But wait! We have controversy.
