Think "Variations on A Fried Dough Theme." Epcot Mexico's churro is a long,
narrow stick of fried dough, slightly crispy on the outside, that has been
rolled in cinnamon sugar. Epcot Canada's beavertail is a flat,
beavertail-shaped disc of fried dough that can be covered in a variety of
toppings, such as cinnamon sugar, fruit, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, etc.
If you like donuts or funnel cakes, you should definitely try a churro or a
beavertail!

Well, they tried that, but the beavers wouldn't hold still long enough to put
the toppings on. ; )
Actually, it's a flat, fried dough treat that resembles the *shape* of a beaver
tail. There are various toppings you can choose, including fruit, lemon juice,
and cinnamon sugar. I can't remember them all, but I'm sure someone else will
be able to tell you. It's very good.

Fried.

Churros are also fried dough, but they're in the shape of a long stick, and
they're covered with cinnamon sugar. Also very, very good.
World Showcase has a lot of fried dough treats; beaver tails in Canada,
churros in mexico, funnel cakes in the USA, and I'm sure the French and
Norwegian bakeries have some fried dough creations.

Oh please -- nobody has ever died from consuming a beaver tail. We
have far too many Canadian CMs for that to happen. If they ever see a
Beaver Tail consuming patron clutching their chest, wheezing
uncontrolably or turning purple they immediately remove the Beaver Tail
from their twitching fists and replace it with a pretzel from
Askerhaus. Let the Norwegians take the blame -- think of all that salt
and what it's doing to your heart. Now think of healthy lemon juice
squeezed over a WHOLE WHEAT piece of dough, lightly fried in healthy
oil. Heck -- that's probably Canola oil -- it's good for you. Cinnamon
never hurt anyone.
If we do find a VSA Beaver Tail Patron we know we will be okay,
because nobody has ever died on Disney Property, and the EMTs will have
eaten what's left of the Beaver Tail before a doctor can declare death.
Eat up folks!

One just happened to be a Canadian and mentioned "beaver tails". I, too,
had to ask if it was from a real beaver since I had just told him that the
"frog legs" on the menu really were FROG legs. :o)

is actually a warning from the seagulls flying overhead!!! I had just bought a
churro when one swooped down and nabbed it right out of my hand!!! It was too
funny!!!
Enjoy!!!

Ahem! I am not dead.
I'm just resting.
Or pining for the fjords.
And by the way, I have lovely plumage, and I'm a "she."

Kiddin aside; churros I've tried and are definitely tastey;

Sounds like something to try next trip !

Sorry, just be glad that the Internet and Usenet is so gender
inspecific. Besides I can't remember Bones ever saying "she's dead
Jim".
Since your pining for the fjords you must like Auskerhaus as much as I
do (love the smoked salmon and pickled herring)

From a little cart along the World Showcase pathway, I think near the totem
poles.

Actually ... um ... BLECH! I do love the mashed rutabagas, though. And the
rice cream at the bakery.
Since we're on the topic of Monty Python skits, I actually much prefer Spam
(the meat product) over all that smoked and pickled fish.

Eeeeeeeewww, Ronnie! The very mention of Spam makes me shiver :)
Master Gracey, my mouth waters at the mention of Akershus smoked salmon and
herring salads, either of which I would happily select over a churro or a
beavertail.
Since you guys are making me hungry, shall we have a "potluck party" where
we each "make" or "bring" one WDW food item? I'll start by hosting a St.
Patrick's Day brunch, serving Corned Beef Hash and Poached Eggs (Homemade
with delicious strips of Corned Beef brisket, Potatoes, Onions and Green
Peppers $9.95) from the Grand Floridian Cafe.
Everyone's invited, just tell me what you're gonna bring. :)

Green eggs and Spam! : )
No, wait, wrong theme park.
In that case, I'll bring some green beer. I could swear it wasn't green when I
put it away, but it sure is now!

YOU DON'T LIKE SMOKED SALMON!?!?!?!?!? HEATHEN!!!!! :)
