A Year in Uruguay

Churros may be my wife's favorite food. They are certainly her favorite item from the fried food group. They are a simple fried dough cooked to order and eaten hot, sprinkled with sugar. I don't think they are as common in Uruguay as they are in Madrid, but they are readily available in Montevideo. These are from a little stand in Parque Batlle. This stand uses rice oil to cook churros, but beef tallow to cook the torta fritas.
