One of the favored treats when I was a kid was this deep-fried dough clustered balls rolled in sugar crystals called serafina.
Actually, it's nothing spectacular but for kids, food that appeals to the eyes is already considered delicious. And of course, sugar works well with kids, I must add.
You probably know thay serafina look exactly like goat's poo - just with a different color!
I remember one particular incident during my kiddie years when were we enjoying a pack of this treat while strolling around backyard of a neighbor. We suddenly came to the goat's pen and suddenly stopped eating them.
