Something in that "crunchy outside / chewy inside" lane like cacahuates japoneses or Nerds gummy clusters or Mentos, for sure. But ideally with the flavor of eggs on toast.

Haha, reminds me of that Peruvian snack "canchas," which is like baked or fried extra-large corn kernals. Super crunchy and delicious, but I'm not sure if they're best for one's health, plus they can be a bit bland in taste for visitors, yadda-yadda.

EDIT: Oh, right, dammit. There's indeed a version in the USA called "Corn Nuts," yeah?

Except corn nuts tend to be so seasoned they contain 1000% of your daily sodium.

True dat!

Like, "amor culpabilis" in very action. 😅

Canchitas are awesome! You get a little ramikin at Peruvian restaurants like you might get chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant.
