No, this is not an eggroll. It’s even better, because it’s dessert.
Say hello to the turon, my most recent discovery at Delite Bakery in Seattle’s Beacon Hill. What is a turon (or turrón, as I’ve seen it elsewhere), exactly? Well, according to Wikipedia,
Though many varieties exist, a typical turrón is plantain and jackfruit wrapped in a springroll wrapper, dipped in brown sugar, then fried. This somewhat resembles banana spring rolls. These are also known as banana fritters.
Oh, and these little confections (which cost only $1.45 each! a steal!) are also exceedingly delicious. Delite’s version was made with banana, and had the most delicious slightly crackly, carmelly-sticky crust which gave way to the sweet taste of banana. The banana’s texture was perfect: yielding, but not too mushy. A satisfying treat, and surprisingly for something fried, not too heavy
All in all, perfect for a hot day and definitely worth seeking out if you find yourself in the Beacon Hill area (especially easy now, thanks to the light rail).

Gonna have to try this. I need to spend more time eating on Beacon Hill.
YUM I just finished one. Rode my bike to the Delite bakery yesterday. I’ve passed it million times and never saw it before! Friendly people inside the bakery happily scooped out two Turon for me for two dollars and change. It was wonderfully delicious. There was a lot of other stuff in there that looked good as well, I assure you I will be back!
Thanks!
