Churros con Chocolate

Waking up this morning, I wanted more than just a platter of fruit. I wanted churros con chocolate. But the only place one can get churros in Taipei is at a particular movie theater. If only I had the patience to wait for stale churros... Instead of eating breakfast, I passed my morning drooling over pictures and recipes. Then some more time was spent reading about how they were invented by Spanish shepherds and developed into their present shape for maximum cripsness. Churros have spread everywhere in time! They're in Brazil and Puerto Rico, just to name a few places. Way past morning now, the movie theater should be open. Maybe stale churros are better than none.
