Ingredient appreciation — what makes Churros special

What sets Churros apart is the handling of Jamón Ibérico. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the briny and complex result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Spanish eating culture centres on long social meals rather than quick eating. The a pintxos bar in San Sebastián atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Estrella Damm beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Churros is the place to start.
