Dan PashmanInspired by my conversation with Folu, we asked our listeners to call in with their favorite snacks from around the world.
Hi.
My name is Valeria Riculi.
I'm originally from Colombia, so there's a lot of Colombian snacks that I crave when I'm feeling homesick.
One of them is mango biche con sal y limon.
It's basically unripe mango with lime, salt, and pepper.
Hi, Milk Street.
This is Aisha from Seattle, and one of the snacks that we eat in my Palestinian American family is lupini beans.
Hi.
One of my favorite snacks from China is a traditional candy called shanjia juan, which are these rolled-up sheets of condensed fruit paste, and their flavor is somewhere between a strawberry and a raspberry.
Hi, Milk Street.
One of my favorite snacks are cacahuetes, fried peanuts with a crunchy shell on the outside of them.
I've never really seen them anywhere else, and I always try to get them when I'm in Mexico.
Mexico.Hi, this is Vlad.
When I was growing up in Romania, all the grandmas would make this thing called biscuit salami.
It's chocolate and coconut and crackers and Turkish delight, and it's all wrapped up to look like a piece of salami.
And wow, used to love eating it when I was a kid.
[piano music] I'd like to thank all of our listeners who called in to share their snack recommendations with us.
