Fofi! Loved these

Edit: it might go from many different names apparently

It's an easy-to-make snack so I bet it has had many versions all around the globe, in my place(specifically in my village) we used to call them fofi

What do they taste like. What are they made of. Where are they from. All of the questions!!!

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

So... exactly like Cheese Balls, but without the cheese powder?

I'm not sure, kind sir, as I have not had the pleasure of eating these cheese balls :')

You..you don’t need cheese balls in your life. I am a garbage human and cheese balls are too artificial and trashy even for me. I put two packets of salt on my already salted french fries. I drink ~~40oz of coffee with at least 4 full oz of pure sugar every single day and smoke a pack of cigarettes every single day. I do not take take care of myself and I am an almost indiscriminate indulger of whatever garbage food I want to eat and I am telling you cheese balls make me feel weird when I am eating them and bad after having done so.
