Bunyols de l'Empordà ("Empordà buns", the ones on the left with a doughnut shape) and bunyols de Quaresma ("Lent buns", on the right without hole in the middle). They are aniseed-flavoured buns, and the Lent buns can have custard cream inside.

The number one reason why I love this part of the year 😋 in Catalonia, these buns are typical to eat during Lent (the 40 days between Carnival and Easter).

Bunyols (similar to doughnuts with a different consistency). In Menorca (Balearic Islands) it’s traditional to eat them for the festivity of Tots Sants / All Saints’ Day.

I've seen this meme around and I'm joining it with the Catalan versions of Lent food.

According to the Catholic tradition, the 40 days of Lent are a time of penitence and abstinence. Believers are supposed to fast by not eating meat nor luxury food.

Every country has its own recipes to eat during Lent, based on vegetables and fish. Though it's not common to follow the religious restrictions nowadays, people still like to eat these recipes on this time of the year. Because they may be simple and made with ingredients that aren't fancy, but they're still delicious!

In Catalan culture, for Lent it's typical to eat cod fish and, most importantly, lent fritters! 😋

Lent fritters (in Catalan, bunyols de Quaresma) are a fried dough fritter with sugar. They are absolutely delicious! Sometimes they can also be filled with custard cream.

The photos in the meme are: cod fritters (savoury), chickpeas with spinach and pine nuts, cod with samfaina (a Catalan sauce similar to ratatouille), and Lent fritters.

These fritters with pumpkin in the dough are typical to eat during the celebration of Les Falles, but can also be found the rest of the year.
