Hi hi to all ladies of hive. Greetings to everyone. @ifarmgirl, thanks for this week contest and for coming up with interesting questions. Before I forget happy Monday to you darling. For this contest, I will be answering the second question:
2️⃣ What is your favorite snack or snacks? Share photos of them if you can.
I love taking snacks before and after meals when I feel I need something to refresh my mouth with, the fastest thing that runs to my mind is a snack. Here in Nigeria, we have as many snacks as possible. All of them are very inviting and delicious. But I can't crave for all of them. I have a few of them that I am very much addicted to. But that doesn't mean I don't eat the rest not mentioned.
First is a fish roll. This snack is achieved with flour, minced fish wrapped inside the dough. I love fish a lot so anytime I feel like enjoying the benefits, I just buy fish rolls knowing I will see a fish in it. I love talking this alone sometimes if I don't have cash to get a soft drink.
During school, this snack is my inanimate best friend. Once I am hungry,that is the only snack my mind runs to. Once I get two fish rolls and bottle of carbonated drink, I'm a full satisfied lady. These snack with the drink make me full like I ate a plate of food.

Then, next is popcorn. This is something I enjoy whenever I see a seller by the side of the street. I can't pass without buying a cup or wrap of it. I love it because of how milky and sugary it used to be. Whenever I am going to see a movie, I make sure I get sufficient popcorns for myself and friends. Most of them will be like they don't need one but I must force them to have one pack because watching a movie without popcorn is no movie.
Also, back then in my secondary school, I remember how I went to school daily with nothing less than 5 balls of puff puff. Puff puff is a snack you can take with a little pepper sauce. It's very oily and fluffy I guess that's why it has that name puff puff. It's always round like a ball with brown color.

You can take it with a cup of tea or a soft drink. I love taking mine with a soft drink.
This is mostly seen in the morning hours, one can hardly see it at night. The love many have for it makes it scarce. Why sellers might be conscious of producing the quantity they can finish in a day, buyers surprises them by buying all even before morning hours are over.
I like to eat snacks especially when I am travelling, there's no need to eat heavy meal while on a journey.
That's the spirit. That's exactly what I do. I prefer snacks to food when am on trip.
Thanks for reading my post 😁 and for your comment
Aha! Now these made me hungry, lol!
The fish roll in your place is quite similar to our empanada, although with different fillings :) Here, they usually add in meat :) Puff Pupffs sound interesting, just that they're oily as you mentioned. And popcorn is nice too especially if you're watching something :)
Thank you Maryanne for sharing your snacks :)

so nice to see what they like for snacks in other country's and culture's .....
Here in Nigeria, everybody craves for these snacks. These are just few of them, the list is endless. Thanks for your sweet comment.
here in the Netherlands the majority is crazy about licorice, and chips with peanut sauce and mayonaise, 😆 also potato chips are favorites.
WOW, licorice, I will really love to have a taste of that although I don't know how possible. This is my first time hearing of that snack, I'm going right away to make research on how its prepared. Also, potato chips is very delicious, I make that at home most times.
I love puff puff 😋😅
I prefer the ones I prepare myself or from a good restaurant, because some people can mess the lovely snack by using bad oil.
You are right about using bad oil. Some will use one oil to fry till eternity. I don't know the recipe so I buy from well known sellers with good hygiene. Thanks @jmis101 for your commenting, glad to see someone who loves puff puff like I do.
Puff puff is not hard to make.
It depends on what you want.
The simple puff puff is made with flour, yeast, sugar, salt milk and vegetable oil.
Method :
You sieve the flour into a bowl and make a hole.
Then you get a smaller bowl add a small warm water not cold, add a little yeast (yeast quantity is based on the flour quantity), then add a teaspoon of sugar turn and cover it, allow it for some minutes.
It will puff up, then in that hole made where the flour is you pour the proofed yeast.
To the bowl you add sugar, a pinch of salt and milk and mix thoroughly.
Cover and allow for some minutes, then you mix it again and start frying in a medium heat oil.
I hope this helps.
When I make a video of me preparing puff will mention you, but I won't promise you it will be anytime soon though.
Wow, thanks for this vivid explanation on how it made. Is very clear and I will definitely try it because I love puff puff a lot. Thanks so much for taking your time to explain to me how it done. It's really helpful. Then, whenever you make the video, kindly tag me as you said. I don't mind when it is but do remember to tag me.
Glad it is helpful.
Okay dear.
You just made me hungry.
Good to know you loved snacks.
