When you sit down for a movie, whether it’s in the movie theatre or in your home theatre you need to have snacks. It is part of the experience when you see a movie. You cannot sit down to watch a blockbuster without something on your lap to munch on. It’s simply not allowed because you don’t get the full experience. This is why every movie theatre has a snack counter for you to check out before you make it into the theatre.
The next time you’re ready to sit down and watch a movie, regardless of whether it’s a rom-com or a thriller, you may want to try some of the more unique movie snacks that are out there – those that are more popular in other parts of the world. Check out these fun movie snacks.
Tiny Baked Fish
In Japan, there are all sorts of quirky candy – and tiny fish, complete with skeletons, are baked and then tossed in soy and sugar. It offers a crunchy snack when you’re watching a flick. It also offers the sweet and savory umami flavor that is so popular in that part of the world.
Salty Licorice
If you like licorice and you like salty foods, you can combine them to give you salty licorice – and that’s what you’d probably be offered in the Netherlands. It’s the highest per capita for licorice consumption in the world.
Red Wine & Cocoa-Cola
If you like both of the ingredients, you can do as the Spaniards do and mix them. While many will sneak the cocktail into a movie theater, many theaters are offering bars now – and you can easily ask the bartender for the cocktail. It’s a simple 50/50 blend of robust red wine and cola.
Popcorn
Finally popcorn is on the list – though this one is Tom Yum popcorn – and is very popular in Thailand. It’s a popcorn flavor for their favorite soup – one that includes lemongrass, fish sauce, much more. It’s a lot healthier than American popcorn and it’s a substitute for the salt and butter you are used to.
Caviar
The next time you sit back and watch a movie, you can do as the Russians do and have yourself some Beluga caviar. You will certainly feel like a VIP when you are grazing on caviar like some of the most exclusive heaters in Russia are now offering.
Fish Balls
When you’re in Barbados, fish balls and banks beer are seen in movie theaters. Think of it like the local answer to nachos. These are salty and deep-fried fish balls made from the local sea life. Be sure to wash it down with Banks beer like the locals do, too.
Cheese & Chutney Sandwiches
Chutney and cheese sandwiches can be made in advance and enjoyed in the theater or at home. It’s a nod to the British rule once seen in India – and Bollywood is still enjoying these sandwiches today.
