Following on the heels of my last post, Little Snacks from Little Fuzhou,<\/a> we’re continuing on our journey along East Broadway; here are three more treats I spotted. Many of these snacks are based on sweetened lard; for some, it might be an acquired taste, but for me at least, it was easily acquired.<\/p>\n

\nTwo of these were packed in a plastic clamshell; each is about four inches in diameter, sweet, chewy, and peanutty inside with a crisp outer shell. <\/p>\n

\nIn the shape of a block about 3\u00bd inches on a side, this one was a good example of expecting a flavor profile based on how something looked and experiencing something completely unlike anything I had ever tried \u2013 so don\u2019t judge a block by its color. It was midway between sweet and savory, soft but with crunchy elements, and shot through with nuts and dried candied fruit. Looks were indeed deceiving; worth a try.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThese flaky (because of the lard in the dough), swirly treats were probably the best of this group: a hard shell enclosing a soft filling with nuts and dried fruit. (There\u2019s a detectable but delectable theme here, right?)<\/p>\n
