Food that I really like Blog 4

 
Hello everybody! Today I want to talk about my favorite food :)

Actually, I like many types of food, be it salty, sweet, fried, baked, etc.

But today, because of the cold and the date we are in, my favorite food is the "picarones" (the ones that appear in the photo are made today)

They are sweet masses, similar to donuts, whose main ingredient is sweet squash, they are fried, and it is best to eat them warm, they can also be eaten covered in a juice made with chancaca, orange and spices.

I'm not sure how they are made because my mother prepares them, it is a food that all Chileans can get to know, but in each family it varies a bit, and my mother makes the recipe that she learned from my grandmother.

I like them a lot because they are sweet, but not an excessive sweet, they are also crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, which makes them very tasty, and waiting for the cold days to arrive to eat them makes them more appetizing.

We make them once a year on cold days, because being fried doughs they are not very healthy, but I think that since we don't eat them that often they are not so bad and they are perfect to spend cold afternoons.
