Hey Teamsters - If ur missing a hydration vessel - there are several thousand of these things in lost property. Go check them out before they end up as empty time capsules in a local dump. I wonder what future generations will think when they dig up all these.

And for you young people check this out - https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1HR9DS6rDs/

Ok - so we've committed and have changed the chips we're serving.
Just in case you need to know the details we were using a 10mm double coated chip, but are now using a 13mm chip. These chips are golden on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
Now the only question is - should we offer gravy and cheese as toppings?

Churros trace their roots back to the Iberian Peninsula, widely credited to Spain. However, their true origins are a beautiful culinary melting pot of Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish influences.

The exact history of the churro is a blend of a few different theories:
The Chinese Connection: Many food historians believe the churro descended from a crispy, salty Chinese fried-dough street food called youtiao. In the 16th century, Portuguese explorers traveling through China brought the concept back to the Iberian Peninsula, where locals adapted it by adding sugar and shaping it with a star-shaped nozzle.

The Spanish Shepherds: Another popular theory is that Spanish shepherds invented churros. Because they lived in the mountains and lacked access to fresh bakeries, they made a simple flour, water, and oil dough that could be fried easily over an open fire.

The Name's Origin: The name "churro" is widely believed to have come from the Churra breed of sheep in Spain. The shape of the fried dough reminded the shepherds of the sheep’s distinct, curly horns.
