World snacks: a quick tour of cult munchies

Snacks say a lot about a country. Sweet, salty, spicy, they go with breaks, nights in and journeys all over the world. Discovering new ones is a mini-trip within arm's reach.

Snack families to explore

You'll find crisps with surprising flavours depending on the region, typical biscuits and cakes, mixes of seeds and spices, or traditional sweets. Every culture has its own way of filling a small craving.

Where to hunt them down

The grocery shops of Luxembourg's different communities are goldmines for snacks you don't see everywhere. Dare to walk in, ask for advice, and try something you don't know yet.

One tip: read the labels if you have allergies, because the ingredients aren't always what you'd expect.
