Rosquillas!

A canasta filled with rosquillas (round and ring shaped), quesadillas (sweet bread) and galletas de dulce

While I have constantly struggled with my ¨genetic sweet tooth,¨ I was never much of a chips or crackers person... until I found rosquillas. Sold in the majority of corner stores, on the bus, and in just about every major market, this homemade Honduran ¨Cheezit¨ has taken this gringa by storm. Made with homemade cheese, cornflour, and lots of butter, rosquillas, are round crackers, so cruchy that they are almost hard. For this reason, they are best dunked in a cup of coffee or added to soup.

Sulema, the door to door sales woman who provides me with my fix

These filling little snacks cost $.010 a piece and last for days... if I could stopping eating them. Luckily for me, Sulema, a woman who lives the next town over, comes by DAILY to sell me my biggest vice since chocolate chips :) While rosquillas are most likely the reason I have gained an extra 5 to 10 pounds since coming to Honduras, they are well worth the extra stairs and sit ups.
