History of Churros

★ The name ‘churro came from the “Churro Sheep of Spain”- a name of a breed of sheep

★ Fried bread was a popular choice, which later became fried bread sprinkled with sugar.

★ Shepherds’ fried bread became star shaped, which allowed it to be fully cooked yet still soft on the inside,

★ To this day, some areas of Spain regularly serve their churros sprinkled with sugar.

Churros Con Chocolate★ While coffee is an essential part of the

Spanish way of life, the best companion for churros has to be Spanish hot chocolate, often described as liquid gold.

★ In Spain hot chocolate is taken very seriously, unlike us.

It is very rare that Spaniards would invite someone into their home. Instead, they would invite them to go out for churros con chocolate.
