Also known as Spanish donuts, Churros have attained a cult status as the national food symbol of Spain. Interestingly, in China a national breakfast dish comes pretty close to the Spanish version of churros - the Chinese 'youtiao' which is a sort of fried stick popular in Northern China. Is it indeed possible that Portugese sailors in the Ming Dynasty have passed on this Chinese specialty from China to the Spanish? Fact is, that today churros can be found on virtually every street corner of Beijing.
And therefore, croissants must be Turkish. It is even on the flag.
