THE SHAME OF THE ROSE
During the colonial period, the French and the Spanish brought the art baking to Mexico and Central America. After they left, we just ran with it. Made it cooler.
We did the same with the polka. You’re welcome, Europe!
Of the nearly 2,000 types of Mexican pastries, the concha is widely considered the king them all! Probably! It’s the pastry you buy when you want to have a happy moment. No one gets mad when there’s a concha around.
