Ever wondered what other students snack on between lectures? Here are some of the most common (and Instagram-worthy) student snacks around the world. Let us know in the comments what you like to snack on!
1. United Kingdom
Beans on toast – an unbeatable classic in UK students’ diets…
@texkourgan
2. South Africa
Biltong is a delicious dried, cured meat, full of protein and popular with students.
@clintbrownuk
3. Japan
Up for trying something new? How about dried crabs (tamagogani)?
@chenpeter
4. Mexico
Can you handle the spiciness of Takis?
@queensformation
5. United States (Philadelphia)
The Philly Cheesesteak has become an iconic staple of the city.
@yuanitachrist
6. Germany
Another great snack for spice lovers, currywurst transforms the classic bratwurst (pork sausage) with spicy tomato sauce.
@settadeipoetiestinti
7. Israel
Warning: snacking on Bamba (peanut-buttery puffs) can be pretty addictive.
@theallergyfreewife
8. Australia
They might not be the healthiest option, but Australian hamburgers definitely hit the spot. And if you’re feeling brave, try a witchetty grub – a traditional delicacy among aboriginal Aussies.
@paneele
9. Canada
Poutine is a firm favorite with Canadian students. French fries, cheese curds and gravy never tasted so good.
‘Smash!’ These chocolate-covered cone-shaped corn chips are smash-ing snacks, and also work well on top of a cake!
@lisabethsoma
11. India
Cooome-on and try khaman, one of the most popular student snacks in India. (We’ll stop the puns now).
@huffpostcaliving
12. Latin America
Alfajores are the best cookies you’ve never heard of, popular in Latin America as well as parts of Spain and the Philippines. They are soft, crumbly cookies with a sweet caramel filling, and quite hard to resist!
@phoeberosewood
13. China
The traditional spicy soup malatang is especially popular on the streets of Beijing…
