      I will never understand churros. Chocolate or cream stuffed churros? Sure, that’s a mini hot ice cream pocket. But churros by themselves? Maybe the first 20 seconds after they’re cooked they taste alright, but anything after is like eating granulated sugar on styrofoam

        You’ve hit the nail on the head.

        There’s precisely a 3 minute window of time, between the churro being the temperature of the sun and it being unpleasantly cold, where they’re good.

        Also it must always be served with the chocolate sauce, even in the window they’re a bit lacking without

          I just feel like anything that needs granulated sugar (not even powdered sugar, how lazy is that!) added to its surface probably doesn’t taste that good in of itself.

          Prime example are jam donuts. If the dough is good and the jam inside is good, then it’s a good donut. If you have to sprinkle literal sugar on it’s skin, then you can bet your ass that the dough is bland and they skimmed on the jam
