    Churros and Berlines

    Churros and Berlines

    Is what I had last night with my gf. We got 10 of these plus many others from this Chilean Cake Shop and watched "Motorcycle Diaries" (A film about travels of Che Guevara through the South America in 1952) while eating them.

    I am starting to pick up some words in Spanish here and there. I think I'm turning into a Latino

    Berlines, even though it originated in Germany is one of the most popular cakes in Chile. It started in the german restaurants and shortly became widespread in Sandiago. Now you can find them in every Chilean Cake shop In and out of Chile

    They do like "Churros" and we had many others. They like to put cooked condensed milks into many cakes they make. But out of all of them the two I posted were the main attraction

    Yeh, the actor was good, the funny bit was the Mambo-Tango I liked the movie, but was disappointed that they didn't show the most interesting parts of his life, like when Che Guevara and Fidel landed in Cuba and started a revolution with only 15 men and 7 guns.

    John F. Kennedy: "Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a 'Berliner'")
    [url]http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkichbineinberliner.html[/url]


    President Kennedy calls himself (in German), a Jelly Donut!

    Of course, the German croud knew what he was trying to say, and applauded him.
