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.
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Gibraltar? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Gibraltar in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
Dear Emilio,
DeleteI am sorry for such a delay in writing. I stopped to use this blog last year and now I have decided to write again. I will send you letter from Gibraltar, it's absolutely not a problem for me. When I will visit Poland I will also send you one, unless you already have Polish stamp. Take care and good luck with your collection! :) Izabela
