I like a hot dog with mustard wrapped in a corn tortilla.

Sounds pretty conservative to me. Still simple and nice.

@tsarstepan,

I've tried a few of the fancy-fangled new donuts around town. They're invariably far too sweet.

I've found some nice kleinur from a nearby Icelandic bakery. They're like an old-school traditional cake donut. So tasty.

@ehBeth,

if it werent for the lemony taste, these things would be just like sopaipillas(different shape and sopaipillas arent as sweet.
Eaten with krumkage ans hot cinnamany coffee. (I had a swedish girlfriend once) and her parents liked me so I ate like a Norse king. Cept I hated most of their non-sugary foods

@farmerman,

I don't klenat anything like sopapillas (my few experiences with those have not been positive - too sweet for me), the texture and taste are quite different. Sopapillas seem more like crullers in texture.

I've had sopapillas remain on my plate. I don't get it. I have watched friends slurp it, oh, the honey.
Why would I purchase a bag of ingredients so I could cook them myself?

Well, New Mexico is new to me and I'm more fond of the many manifestations of food in Los Angeles, wide ranging and in some cases, likely more true to source.

@ossobuco,

every fried puffy dough food of whatever culture taste similar to each other.
Ecept fo the peasant krusciki. That is really vile. It tastes like greasy cardboard onto which powdered sugqr is dusted.
Ive had sopaipillas that were honeyed, sugar dusted, powder sugar dusted, and made with sweet dough. All are good when eaten responsibly in a balanced diet

all I can say is that they mae em wrong then. They shpould be light and airy like a "pillow". s I said, klenats are fried and puffy (at least the ones I had, with that lemony flavor) and sopa's are light and fluffy and some r sweet and some r not.

It's been ten plus years now, yawn. Maybe haven't been to the more interesting places - that is probably true.

I will say I did change re sugar. Don't know which trip to Italy it was, but I got grumpy when I landed back in Los Angeles, where, not to trumpet, I knew a lot of the better places at the time, alway food interested. I cooled down on sugar.

@farmerman,

crullers are supposed to be light and fluffy - the way sopapillas are

kleinurs / klenat are a cake dough not yeast/puffy

@glitterbag,

Yesterday?

Experienced some Matzos Tacos from Mile End Deli on Bond St., Manhattan.

The bottom right was a Reuben style taco; the left taco has pickled onions, green peppers, and chopped liver; the top one? Not really sure. Maybe a slice of brisket.
