Churros con Chocolate
These churros are basically pure sugar, but they're good. They're nicely crunchy on the outside, hot, and there's a little cream inside — dulce de leche. You could eat twenty of these.
Medialuna
Super sticky, soft. It's not the French croissant, all flaky and crispy. It vaguely reminds me of torta di rose. By our standards it would almost seem underbaked, but I don't mind it. It's a sugar bomb.
