Xuixo ((:ˈʃuʃu), ; also known as ''xuxo''; (スペイン語:suso)) is a viennoiserie pastry from the city Girona in Catalonia, Spain. It's a cylindrical pastry filled with crema catalana that is deep fried and covered with crystallized sugar. Commonly eaten for breakfast or tea it is honored as ''Producte de la Terra'' ((英語:Product of the home country)) by the Department of Agriculture, Farming and Fishing of the Government of Catalonia. It is assumed that this pastry originated in Girona in the 1920s in a pastry shop owned by Emili Puig in the Street Corte Real. A French pastry shop showed him the preparation of cream filled pastry and this served him as an inspiration for the ''Xuixo''. This pastry is very popular not only in Girona but has been also accepted in the surrounding areas and can also be found in Tarragona, Castellón de la Plana and Valencia. In the second half of the 20th century it was one of the most demanded product in the ''Xurreries'' (pastry shops, (スペイン語:churrerías)) and nowadays it is commercialized by a candy brand that sells them not plain but with a chocolate icing. ==The legend== According to a legend in Girona the invention of the ''Xuixo'' has to be credited to ''el Tarlà'', a very sympathical person that is very present in the legends of this area. This acrobat that entertained the citizens in a quarantine during an epidemic, fell in love with the daughter of a pastry chef. Once when he visited his beloved girl her father appeared and he hid in a bag of flour. Unfortunately he sneezed (which sounds like ''xui-xui'') and was discovered. Before the pastry chef could get angry he promised to marry his daughter and give him the recipe of a special pastry: the ''Xuixo''. He named it after the sneeze that betrayed him. Nowadays a figure of ''el Tarlà'' can be seen every year during the spring festivities when its copy is erected at the place where he had entertained the people of Girona. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xuixo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
