What traditional snacks were there when I was a child?

Fried melon seeds, children nowadays can't name this snack. Many children even say it is fried noodles. In the past, fried seeds were used as refreshments in many places, but now people rarely see people cooking this snack in the street.

Sesame candy is also a traditional snack. Wrapped in sesame seeds, it smells good. Bian Xiao likes sesame candy very much. But in Bian Xiao's impression, when I was a child, I ate sesame candy, and when I grew up, I didn't see where sesame candy was sold. Maybe sesame candy has been lost. Even if it is not lost, sesame candy is not a popular snack. I believe that many people have only eaten it when they were children, and they should not have seen it since 00.

Peanut bar

Remember this peanut eater when I was a child? It was a very expensive snack at that time. I remember that during the Chinese New Year, every household would fry a pot of peanuts for their children. Peanuts are crisp and delicious. Moreover, this kind of snack can be cooked at home, and it is delicious without spending money!

This is a sugar-coated gourd with all kinds of fruits. Do you like it? Now it is rare to see anyone selling it, and even there are not many specialized shops. Do you like it?

Tang Hua, sugar man

Actually, Sugar Man and Tang Hua are two kinds of snacks. Although Bian Xiao put them together, it is mainly because they have many similarities, that is, the raw material is mainly sugar. One is to use tanghua to create the shape of an animal or a character, which is flat and vivid. The other is to blow the sugar into a solid state and then squeeze it out by hand, which is also very vivid. It's hard to say which is better or worse between them. Nowadays, Tang Hua and Tang people are rare in the streets. Even if there is, it is still made by old people. If the older generation really leaves, who will inherit the skills of the Tang people and Tang Hua? Maybe you really can't eat it in a few years.

Sesame candy, when I was a child, I often saw someone selling sesame candy with a bag on his back. It tastes like sesame, but my parents never gave it to me, because it is too sweet for the development of my body!

I don't know the exact name of knocking sugar. Anyway, I was peddling in the alley with a pole on my shoulder. Where can I knock when I buy it? It will break with a crisp sound. It tastes sweet, too, but it soon softens and becomes sticky. I really can't see it now. I don't think I have seen it since 00.

Traditional popcorn, although it is still hot now, especially in cinemas, many people will hold a bucket of popcorn in their hands when they go to the movies. However, this kind of popcorn is not traditional popcorn, but is heated directly by a machine to make it pop, and then a lot of sugar is added. Although it is sweet, compared with traditional popcorn, it always feels something is missing. Although there are still traditional popcorn, it is really rare. And they are all concentrated in towns and villages. Because there is no fire in the city, there is no traditional popcorn in the city. Bian Xiao has only seen it once in villages and towns, but he may not see it again in a few years.

I remember that in the 1990s, there were many traditional snacks, but now they have "slowly disappeared", so let's eat what we haven't eaten! What other traditional snacks do you know?
