I finally did it. I went to the Nuts4Nuts guy. And let me tell you, it was PHENOMENAL. Nuts4Nuts you say? What is that? Well, it is a food cart that is outside the Costenera Center (which I pass by EVERY day, sometimes multiple times a day), that I've been eying since we arrived. The smell alone must attract customers for miles. It is a small cart with a man cooking sweet glaze in a big metal bowl and tossing peanuts and almonds around in it. Then he bags them in these little white bags and sells them for about 75 cents a bag. You open the bag to taste the warm, delicious, sweet, salty, nuttiness. If you visit Santiago, this is a snack must.
This is the truck (well one like it). I didn't take this picture, but they are all around Santiago. And, by the way, peanuts = mani, not cacahuates, which I learned in school. I will add to our vocab list!
By the time I got to the hotel to take a picture, they were almost gone.
Those look delicious. I don't blame you for eating them before going home. Sometimes we do that with hot tortillas out of the tortilla maker from HEB. :)
