Gummy bears. I will eat them until I feel ill.

What is Bombay mix?

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In Bangladesh we call it Chanachur but it's basically oily fried lentils that are often paired with peanuts. There's many different types of it (bombay mix refers to a specific style) and it's greasy as all hell.

That sounds amazing.

Oh. Eww. Thanks.

it's basically a selection of fried legumes/beans, nuts and crisps (like soy crisps/rice crisps/crunchy corn, not potato chips) that's well seasoned and eaten like a snackfood.

it's definitely a bit oily but often spiced very well and real morish - like eating spiced roast peanuts but with more variety. it's called bombay mix or bhuja mix here in australia, and i'm sure it's garb in comparison to actual street snacks in india but it's still tasty
