It was about 19 years ago, during a trip to Spain, when I first tasted Churros – a type of fried dough (doughnut?) that you sprinkle with sugar and dip in chocolate sauce.
It was a bright day in October, and we stopped at a mountain pass on our way to Segovia, there was a strong wind blowing and it was cold.
We drank hot chocolate and ate Churros – I remember that it was very tasty.

I have not tasted one like it since, a lot of food we ate in Spain we have not eaten since, so i guess it is time to revisit.
Once in a while I hear the word Churros which reminds me that maybe I should attempt making them myself, now I have decided the time has come.
