As a snack or pre-dinner people from Reunion love those little fritters. There are different kind of them with different origines. For instance samoussas come from north of India. they are shaped in triangles and made of weet dough. They are either stuffed with vegetables or cheese chiken or porc meet. An other type of those snacks are "bonbons piments" or chili candies. They are made of mashed lima beans, a lot of chili and some cumin an tumeric. It looks a lot like falafel but ten times more spicy. One appetizer from china called "bouchons" consists of riz dough stuffed with porc meet and steamed. It is eaten diped in soja sauce or chili. There are generally sold on little stands on the streets or in markets. Some restaurants made their speciality of those appetizers that I could really recommand.
Other places where you can find those appetizers are food trucks which invaded the island. For instance when I started high school there was one food truck in front of the school but after three years there were four, one bheind an other and not simple food trucks but kind of settled with terrace, tables and chairs. In few years it became a real business. And what do we eat there? The best seller is "pain bouchons" or "pain américain" (american bread) because it is a huge sandwich. It is a third of a baguette with four "bouchons" I told you about. You add some french fries. Then you get to chose your sauce (kethup, mayonnaise, chili or soja sauce). Don't forget the cheese on top and put it to grill few minutes. Trust me we are talking about a real calorie bomb. And because you will feel thirsty after eating all of this. You will drink one of our local limonade quite sickly and about three times more sugary than the national average. Enjoy!
