As we travel the world, some of the foods we discover are the most delicious are also the most basic.

• Sauerkraut and kartoffelsalat in Germany
• Pupusas in El Salvador
• Patacones in Ecuador
• Kumara fritters in New Zealand

Here in Vietnam, we’ve discovered a new favorite.

I don’t yet know what it’s called.

However, it’s a pancake of sorts. They basically take fresh coconut, fresh pineapple juice, superfine chopped peanuts, and mashed them with a sweet potato (the white kind, not the orange yams we usually get in the US).

It’s formed into a circle (like a small thick pancake), and cooked over open charcoal.

Each one costs about 25 cents, or you can get 5 for a dollar.

They kind of taste like marshmallows, except imagine that marshmallows actually have lots of good nutrition in them.

I need to figure out what these are called.
