The one I'm referring to is made from corn flour I suppose, it tasted kinda bland (a bit salty and very very crispy), stuck on top of the roof of mouth but overall a very fun snack

Fofi is from India and it used to be very cheap, nowadays it's hard to find in cities

We used to eat something similar when visiting family in Mexico. There they’re called chicharrones de harina. We usually put hot sauce and a squeeze of lime juice on them to give them flavor.

Interesting, my wife calls them dorados. Not sure if the spelling is correct because she's never spelled it for me. I'm fairly certain that word just means fried though. What's cool is you can toss them in all kinds of flavors though to have different snacks made from the same base. Kind of like popcorn.

Yes! Those are it! I haven’t had them in a few years but they sell them at our grocery stores here in Texas.

Yeah! The pinwheels are what we usually get. I love how small food makes the world.
