This is one of the opportunities connect offers,knowing and even seeing what happens on the other side of the world without travelling the actual distance on ground:
A typical street ice cream and bun vendor in the city of Accra(Ghana). He offers a little snack that is fairly affordable and relatively safe for consumption. It’s at a very cheap price of 2-3Cedis(about 50cents) for a bun and an ice cream.
He goes from street to street and from door to door especially at midday shouting out his wares. The ice cream or yoghurt is usually iced in the moving box and the bun just above it.
Little packs of ice cream.and yoghurt. Especially because of the poverty level in W.Africa,this generally does for a little light lunch for some locals when you are out most of the day working.
What does the street level snack look like in your own locality ???
There are several street snacks in Latin America, as ice ball made with crushed ice with sirop and something else, like fruit and honey. Also people eat chopped fruits in tiny glasses, or fried dough with topping of sugar, the mango is very popular or we drink water of coconut very cold. Sweets are popular too, the most famous are called “dulces de platico”.
Sometimes I taste a new snack, like this fruit that I saw in a square in Cali, Colombia, the fruit is called “Chontaduro” and I was curious about it because I realized that locals ate it with relish. But, I didn’t like it as much as they did
I remember buying ice-cream and buns through the gates of out evening islamiyya (Islamic School) during break time because we weren’t allowed outside the gate, about N50-N70, the seller sells through the gates. It brings a lot of nostalgic feels haha.
Thanks a bunch that was a good addition to the post. The fruits looks lovely and your description is mouth watering🤪. Yes I heard of ice with syrup but never haven’t tasted it yet. We have the coconut water here too it’s a regular thing very refreshing especially in the tropical hot of Africa. Will get more street post from here and will tag you. Good to see what operates in Latin America and thanks again. Stay safe and cheers
