“Dear step-planDisney (Step)Moms: Can you use a churro as a straw?” – Universal Orlando Resort
Walt:
Hi Universal Orlando Resort, thanks for asking.
We’ve actually tested this in our totally unique, and certainly not copied, Uncle Walt’s Insider Food Blog. And yes, yes you can.
Marty:
Uh, Walt, we kept telling you, that wasn’t a churro.
Grogu:
Walt:
That explains the lack of cinnamon-sugar flavored fried dough.
Marty:
Hello Mr. Resort. It’s not often we have a theme park writing us! (Well, other than those Cease & Desist letters from Disney. We have tons of those!)
In answer to your question, it may be theoretically possible, but as a practical matter, it’s too tempting to bite into the churro instead of sucking up whatever beverage you’re enjoying. Stick to eating regular straws.
X:
You could, but should you? I have an Aussie friend, and she says the most Australian thing you can do is called a “Tim Tam Slam”, where you take a Tim Tam (which is a sort of chocolate cookie), bite the corners off, and then drink a beverage through it. Not milk.
Tim Tams are actually really good.
But, if you’ve got a really good cookie, why would you want to ruin it with the taste of whatever beverage? Now, if it was milk I could understand, because who doesn’t love cookies and milk? But other beverages? No thanks. I’ll just eat my cookies.
What beverage could you possibly drink through a churro that would complement its delicious cinnamon sugar flavor? Maybe rumchata? Or caramel sauce? Maybe. But I still say just eat the churro on its own, and use an actual straw for beverages. (Not paper straws. Those things are the worst.)
Marty:
For what it’s worth, paper straws are more edible than the plastic ones. They just suck at, you know, being straws.
Harriet:
Just don’t go to Universal Studios Orlando. There are too many people there without you.
Ub:
Hi there, Uni. Can I call you Uni? You may not remember me, but I feel we were once close enough that I can call you that comfortably.
So the answer to your question, it depends on the drink. I suggest rum.
