I had to make sure I had not misheard what the guy selling pastries at this market stall had said: "pets de nonne". Five for 1 euro.
These little deep-fried balls of dough, served with a sprinkling of sugar, hot and sweet, had a name that left me smirking like a schoolboy.
Yes, "pets de nonne", or "nun's farts".
On a side note, don't let the video put you off, it has a serious message to convey - love the expression on the Labrador at the end though

@pgntwo In Occitan, I heard them called "pets de vieillo", old women's farts. I suppose it is the same in Catalan. I just had a look to find the name in regular Spanish (Castillan) to improve my Spanish. They are called "suspiros de monja", Nun's sighs

Life has proven lethal in every known case to-date. And what's worse, as a lethal disease, it's sexually-transmitted too! 
I wouldn't worry about any sonorous blasts that result from a feed of refried beans, it goes with the territory.

Here they would call that "Pedos de Monja" or "Silent sights" too like tops says.
They don´t do those here that I know to.

@pgntwo
Would not be how I would describe them really in English and in Spanish "Pedos de Monja" has always stuck so to speak.

Oh, my! I don't believe the dog 
thought it was very funny, pgn... Neither did the 
old lady or the kid. (I move faster than that if/when someone "lets one rip" and I hear it or smell it, either one
. I do everything I can to keep from smelling anything someone else "broadcasts" to the wind
!)
After all, if you can smell it, you are ingesting fecal matter from that person.

Thanks for sharing this post. I always wanted to visit Ireland and think it's interesting to hear about people's daily lives that live in other countries. Those look good!

As long as nuns don't fart cinnamon, they look decidedly yummy!
