Childhood snacks

I went to the market with my mom today and found a whole lot of snacks that I used to eat as a child. One of my favourite things that's really hard to find nowadays is preserved green mangoes. It's really sour and you dip it into chilli salt... heaven! I really don't know how to describe the sensation you get when you bite into it, but it feels like your sleeping tastebuds have been shocked awake! Really yummy and it makes your whole mouth tingle, and your teeth feels like they're gonna drop off coz it's so sour!

Haha, I bought two packets of the mangoes and completely whacked a whole pack alone. I've got another one in the fridge for tomorrow!!

I also bought this flat biscuit thing which is deep fried and has anchovies and peanuts as toppings. I seriously don't remember the name of this snack, but it's really crispy (and oily!) and the saltiness of the anchovies is just the best. If you haven't realised, I love salty food. Bad for my health, I know but I can't help it!

I wonder if I'll be able to find more childhood snacks here and there... Things that you remember always taste the best.
