  5. I grew up eating chongos zamoranos in Guadalajara. Thank you for the recipe. Now I can make them here in San Diego 💕🙏🏼 A beautiful analogy: whoever touches food makes them even more delicious! Tacos al pastor, for example, evolved from Middle easter Shwarma. food unites us all! 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕

  18. Actually, churros did not evolve from the Chinese youtiao. Wheat is actually indigenous to the Levant, and it travelled west through the Mediterranean basin first before it travelled east to Asia. The sedentary culture that evolved in ancient Mesopotamia allowed them to domesticate wheat. They also invented the frying pans. Sugar was introduced to China around 1,200 BCE. But the ancient Persians and Greeks were trading sugar with South Asia since the 4th century BCE. True cinammon, not cinammon cassia, was used and traded in Egypt from Sri Lanka since 2,000 BCE. The Portuguese are credited with spreading the idea of fried dough from Japan and China, but fried dough actually began showing up all around Eurasia at the same time millennia before they encountered it. If you want to actually point where sweetened fried dough developed, it was somewhere in the Mediterranean Basin millennia before the rise of the modern European empires that colonized and misshaped today's society and history. Most likely on the eastern regions of the basin, such as Egypt, the Levant. Oh, and deep frying is known to have been even done in ancient Greece since around the 5th century BCE. The idea of churros being an evolution of Chinese youtiao is actually a colonizers idea. The modern Western Empires distorted history so much that it still lingers on today. They wanted history to be told as if history started with them because they discovered the world and everything in it. The world was already discovered.

  19. Chongos Zamoranos. In a nutshell, instead of salted cheese, it's sweetened cheese. It doesn't have the shape of cheese because, well, it's not placed in molds or cut into nice looking shapes. Not sure why she put eggs in her recipe, though.
