Some Of My Fav. Childhood Snacks I'm Craving For:

~Groundnut Cake: Dunno The Ingredient for this But the tips were shaped Like arrows On Paper Thin Bars/Snaps: They were usually sold Side by Side W/ Sesame Seed Snaps,we call it "Beni Cakes"


~Binch Akara: Minced Black Eye Beans Fritters


~Beet Root chips: Sliced Paper Thin


~Plantain Cake: Over-Riped Plantain Mixed W/ Flour & Spicies

~OMG SeanT! You had Kanya too? grin I'm ever so excited here!



~Back Home,They're either  made w/ Rice Or Garri: I like the one made w/ Garri better than the one w/ Rice! Matter of Fact i have some in my Snack Cupboard my Nana sent me. . .



~Finding Pics on the Net of Mentioned Snacks is proving a lil bit tasking. . Next Time I go Home I'll be sure to take pics of Snacks & make it available on the Internet!


~I Loved Roasted Cassava w/ a dollop of Butter. . .My My. . What Memories!

~Parched/Roasted Peanuts,i absolutely loved eating w/ the Peel : I like Salted Boiled Peanuts too. . .

Re: ~ African Snacks & Appetizers ~ by SeanT21(f): 12:53am On Aug 07, 2009
@@@MC

Yes, That's the picture.I love Kanyah so much. The only thing I hate about it is that it makes me freaking thirsty. grin Kanyah is a classic Liberian snack. There is no Kanyah here or maybe I am just not looking right.I forgot that U add Garri or Rice.


PS: I think I read somewhere that U are from Sierra Leone. That explains to me why U know so much about Kanyah.
wink
Re: ~ African Snacks & Appetizers ~ by mohawkchic(f): 1:51am On Aug 07, 2009
~Yeah . . . I be Sa Lone Titi grin


~You can say that again @ Thirsty!! It's filling Too. . I havent been able to eat yet since i had the slices on the Plate on pic. .

~Am not aware if it's packaged & sold either not that i wud buy it even if it was! I Like how my Nana makes hers. . . .using Fine Garri,Peanut Butter. . eating Kanya w/ garri thats not parched properly sucks. . . .

~They were shaped either using the Scoop spoons off  Baby Milk Tins or Cut out into rectangle shapes!
Re: ~ African Snacks & Appetizers ~ by mohawkchic(f): 2:09am On Aug 07, 2009
~Your Sugar Cookies i think are our "King Drivers" AKA "Kill Driver" as its popularly known. . . Not one of my fav.


~I loved the pastry off Meat/Fish Pies but the Onions were off putting for me! I'd always be the one opening my Meat pie to get rid of all the Onions!: The only time I enjoy eating Meat Pie as an Adult is when i make a request for it to be made w/o Onions & for Cubes of Boiled Potatoes to be added:


~The Plantain Chips I remember were Long strips of fried plantain chips,almost the length of the plantain. . .not like the round small ones sold in african stores! There'll be like 3/4 in a packet!
