Churros- Spanish breakfast treats

Since I moved to Gibraltar I have eaten them many times. Although they are traditional Spanish breakfast snack, they are also very popular in Gibraltar. Taste is very similar like traditional Polish doughnuts but the way of serving it is completely different.

 The other name of this snack is Spanish Doughnut, but they are also very popular in France, Philippines, Portugal, Latin America and USA. 

There are two types of Churros, first one is thin and short, the the other one is thick and very long, this type is more popular in region where I live.

Churros are typical breakfast snacks. They can be found in special places called Churreria, where apart from churros people can also have coffee, but they are also made to be taken-away and this is what people do very often. In Gibraltar people eat them at work places with colleagues or friends. 

The best way to eat them is to dip them in melted chocolate or just simply sprinkle with a sugar.

Traditional Spanish Fair, called Feria is also a place where we can spot many Churrerias, because this is also very festive snack, they even welcome new year with this delicious doughnuts.

Recently they are also becoming more sophisticated snacks and being served in more and more exclusive restaurants. They serve them with fruits, cream and the most essential ingredient - melted chocolate. But the taste is still the same as a Churros that is wrapped in a paper and chocolate is served in a plastic cup, because this is how they usually sell them... and people love it like this,in a very simple way.

I love Polish doughnuts and I miss them a lot but I must admit that Churros are equally delicious, especially with good strong coffee and lots of melted chocolate.
