Huge Filled Fried Churros. South American Street Food in Italy

Описание: International Street Food Festival - Gusti di Frontiera, Gorizia, Italy

A churro is a fried-dough pastry based snack. Churros are traditional in Spain and Portugal, from where they originate, as well as the Philippines and Ibero-America. They are also consumed in the Southwestern United States, France and other areas that have received immigration from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries. In Spain, churros can either be thin or long and thick. They are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in champurrado, hot chocolate, dulce de leche or café con leche.
The dough is a mixture of flour, water and salt. Churros are fried until they become crunchy, and may be sprinkled with sugar. The surface of a churro is ridged due to having been piped from a churrera, a syringe-like tool with a star-shaped nozzle. Churros are generally prisms in shape, and may be straight, curled or spirally twisted. Are sold by street vendors, who may fry them freshly on the street stand and sell them hot.
Filled, straight churros are found in Cuba (with fruit, such as guava), Brazil (with chocolate, doce de leite, among others), and in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Mexico (usually filled with dulce de leche, chocolate and vanilla). In Colombia and Venezuela, churros are glazed with arequipe and sweetened condensed milk. In Spain, a considerably wider diameter is used to accommodate the filling.
