Kropek:Few snacks are supposed to be eaten during Holy Week. For one it's the fasting part that others follow (meaning eating less food overall within the day) and the other is the Abstinence part (which means limiting one's options to anything but meat - like pork and beef... and to some extent, chicken). So one would wonder what snack - if there were any, would fit into the 'season'?
Why not a kropek? At least, the ones with shrimp or fish flavor? This snack is a crunchy delight - and one need but add vinegar to this treat to make it even more (or less... depending on the vinegar's taste) a cornucopia of clashing... yet complimentary flavors. It's relatively light - if you ignore the fact that these things are normally cooked deep fried... but there are less oil-excessive ways to cook these too (just like this one in the picture) making this snack even more guilt-free.
Taking this picture was a bit of a challenge - I wanted to capture the kropek's texture, yet wanted to still make it's surrounding (other kropek) visible as well. Judging form the picture, I might have been partially successful - and blogger settings not withstanding, it does look better if the picture was larger. Ah well... the limits of natural lighting.
