ha, this was going to be my answer so i'll help with the churros. they're a long sort of pasrty, made out of donutty sort of stuff, but sort of star shaped like it's been squished out of an icing bag. look here! sometimes [notting hill carnival for example] they come with syrup in the hole in the middle mmmm.

but yeah, in spain the hot choclate is thick & gloopy & does come with churros & seems to be a national pastime... we went to this one place in madrid that's open all night long selling pretty much only hot choc & churros.
