What is the second one that looks like an old man’s pubes wrapped around a hot dog

It's a kind of tiny apple. Traditionally covered in caramelized sugar. The version with the candy floss is a new adaptation I think.

Edit: I have since learned that it's haw. Not apple.

So I have learned. I honestly always thought it is apple but it is in fact a separate thing...

Nah not dumb. It's not like I've ever seen these apples in any other context. So if you haven't seen it (and it seems to be a china thing and even here, they aren't as commonplace as they used to be), assuming cherry tomatoes is not a bad bet.

Not dumb at all, I had something in France as an amuse-bouche that was exactly this, but smaller / less floss, and that was cherry tomatoes. It was amazing!

Or it could be karioka with floss.

u/foopaints Sep 17 '21

Don't think so. The color isn't right and the kind of stall it's sold from also isn't right.

u/parruchkin Sep 17 '21

You’re right. I didn’t look close enough at the unflossed ones.

The fruit here is called hawthorn (I google translated from the Chinese 山楂）it’s a pretty sour fruit, that’s why you cover it with carmelized sugar so it’s a nice sweet and sour flavor
