One of the favored treats when I was a kid was this deep-fried dough clustered balls rolled in sugar crystals. Actually it's not spectacular but with kids, food have to be appealing to the eyes first so that the mouth can actually taste it.
I don't know how this came to be called as such, I just grew up knowing this to be serafina. I remember one particular incident during my kiddie years when were we enjoying a pack of this treat while strolling around backyard of a neighbour. We suddenly came to the goat's pen and suddenly stopped eating them. You probably know why since they exactly look like goat's poo, just in different color.
