The Filipinas I work with long ago got everyone else in our department to fall in love with lumpia.
<Homer Simpson>Mmmmm, lumpia.</Homer Simpson>
This particular brand of dried mango slices, especially if they are not too dry.
I have a long list:
- Pocky, original and coconut, Anyone tried Men’s Pocky? I did, even though I’m female
It’s dark chocolate. - ICC canned iced coffee
- Hummus, especially garlic flavor from Trader Joe’s - also the freshly made hummus from Zankou Chicken. Yay Zankou Chicken!
- As long as I’m talking about Zankou Chicken, I also like their garlic sauce, it’s great on pita bread. I could eat a whole 1/2 pt. container by itself, but no one would come near me for a week.
- Calbee soybean snacks
- Green mango slices with salt and ground pumpkin seed, chili powder optional. It was a favorite snack of mine when I was growing up in El Salvador, but I haven’t had any in years.
- Rose water ice cream
- Gulab jamun (did I spell it right?)
- Mochi ice cream, especially green tea flavor
- Sakura mochi - a rice-flour sweet made in the shape of a cherry blossom and wrapped in a cherry leaf. Typically it is made in mid-March, to coincide with the flowering of the cherry trees. I like that I can find it when my birthday rolls around.
- Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves)
- Baklava!
One thing I like about living in L.A. is that you can always find something new and interesting to eat. 
Someone at work gave me this Japanese thing… It was two silver-dollar pancakes with some kind of paste between them. It could have been red bean, or fruit; I honestly couldn’t tell because the pancake was so cloying I couldn’t taste it.
Oh, and I also got to look like a chimpanzee trying to open a ramune bottle with a pen because I threw away the little opener along with the wrapper. That was fun.
I will second the Philippine dried mango slices and the Yan Yan (the strawberry cream version is divine).
Nong Shim Cuttlefish Flavored Snack
Calbee Hot Garlic Shrimp Flavored Baked Chips
Brilliant Indonesian Shrimp Chips (has to be the curry flavoured one)
It makes me sad that the first two I linked to got not-so-good reviews on that site. 
Currywurst - It’s the German version of the chili dog-- sliced, grilled, sausage dipped in Ketchup that is sprinkled with Curry or Ground Chile.
Pasteli- Greek Sesame Candy. Similar to a sesame brittle, but made with honey and and other things–The Mediterranean’s Candybar.
Mooncake- There’s a chinese bakery that I’ve beeen to several times and I love their red bean mooncakes.
(They also have this weird gelatinous rice flour candy (I think it’s steamed) in long, white, organic and leathery, wobbly sheets that I didn’t like so much. It looks disgusting and the texture is disturbing. It tastes just ok, sweet and blandly ricey…like rice gelatin. I’ve been searching for it all night but the oogles do nothing. Closest thing I could find is Nian Gao, but I don’t think it’s quite the same thing. I’d love to know what this rice jello blob is called.)
I love Hi-Chew, but isn’t it Japanese? Whenever I buy it, it’s covered in Japanese writing.
Wherever it’s from, it’s basically crack in candy form.
Condensed milk candy. Yum. Comes with funny Engrish on the packaging.
Indian grilled corn and almond kulfi.
All sorts of buns from the Chinese bakery, with odd things in them.
Lebanese baklawa, that’s very buttery and not soaked in syrup. Oh, halvah.
I have had this Swiss snack called “chocolate” that I believe will soon be popular everywhere.
Wasabi peas. They are readily available in the produce section of many grocery stores.
I think I’ve gotten immune to the heat…I tried some “hot” wasabi peas at a specialty store once (free samples) and there was no clearing of the sinuses there!
I recently tried Wasabi Soy Sauce Smoked Almonds. They were okay, a bit of heat and a bit of salt, but I think the manufacturer was trying to hard, because there wasn’t much of a taste of each.
Pierogi, piroshki, perogie (depending on whether you’re Polish, Russian or Canadian). Meal? Snack? Appetizer? Whaaa? Anyway, I enjoy 'em.
I am also very partial to Eurocrackers (“crispybreads”) such as Wasa, Kavli and Ryvita.
If we are into biscuits as well, I like very much (but less than “grissini”) the “amaretti”. These are biscuits made of almonds, and, as I discovered on the packet I bought recently, sometimes they also put some apricot’s stones inside. :eek:
I love dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), empanadas (fritters stuffed with picadillo, or seasoned ground beef), papas rellenos (balls of fried mashed potato stuffed with picadillo), spicy Jamaican beef patties, spicy Vietnamese beef jerky, samosas, naan, Indian “all in one” spicy snack mix, arepas (sweet crispy fried corn patties with melty white cheese in between), and so much more…
I love most of the things mentioned so far, as well as pretty much every kind of dumpling I’ve ever tried. And I’ll add a couple to the list:
Russian sushki (they are like min-dried bagels)
Armenian lacmajun (English spelling varies - there is a Middle Eastern bakery near here that makes them, and now I have to run out and get some!)
Georgian khachapuri (I finally found a place near here to buy the proper cheese to make it, but some people substitute a mixture of feta, mozzarella, and cottage cheese in various proportions)
I’m not sure about that. This particular line in the Wikipedia article was added by an unregistered user who didn’t add anything else to the article. So it kind of casts doubt on the reliability of this information. Maybe someone out there uses chikuwa as a dog treat, but then again maybe this is just false information. Since I don’t know this product, I can’t say.
