Paris Nord Villepinte Convention Center Churro Stand
Producer: Two chicks in a food cart
MSRP: 5 euros

I will give the churro stand points for appearance. The stand looked very clean and inviting, with smiling girls handing me a bag full of what I considered delicious baked goodness. I received the typical French level of service, which means they gloured when they realized I was an American.

The individual churros were smaller than the ones typically proffered in Costco or Six Flags, but I got a “small” bag with six or so inside. They tossed the bag with sugar, and handed it to me with my change.

First purchase in Paris totaled five euros.

Note what I said earlier: they tossed it with sugar. No cinnamon. None whatsoever. They didn’t do a particularly good job of including sugar, or making sure that it adhered to the churro, so I ate sweetend bread with a smattering of sugar on one end or another. I will give it to them that the bread was above-average, with none of the usual dried-out stuff that comes at most places.

But the absence of the cinnamon and the weak-ass sugar proved to be too much for me. I got plenty of saccharine listening to the J-Pop concerts going on, but this is the stuff that’s critical to life!

I give them props for the bread, quantity given, and presentation, but they suffered some major detractions. Definitely avoid it when you go.

Score: 2/5
