Feast with homemade fritters - A Mediterranean food traditional recipe

This morning, in the Mallorca small town where I live, groceries make and sell bunyols, or fritters, in front of their shops. It is the feast of Ses Verges, the Virgins. In some towns guys sang or still sing under the balconies of their beloved. Girls offer them homemade bunyols to thank them.

In the Catalan speaking countries fritters are always associated to a certain religious feast. To celebrate the feast of the Virgins, people get together to eat huge dishes of homemade fritters, and drink mistel.la or moscatell, which are sweet wines.

There are different variations of bunyols or fritters - with flour, with sweet potatoes, with eggs, milk, depending on the region or town. Everywhere in the Mediterranean, in Greece, Turkey, or Morocco, you find some sort of fritters.
