Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
With all of the disturbing news about Chinese treats, foods, and melamine, here's a snack that's darned tasty and dangerous chemical-free.Bamba. The stuff is all the rage in Israel. Basically, it's the peanut butter version of the cheese puff -- airy little tubes of tastiness. (In fact, it started out, years ago, as a cheese snack before switching to peanut in 1964.) What's interesting about bamba is that when you put it on your tongue, there's not a lot of taste. However, as soon as you bite into it, there's a peanut butter explosion -- it's like licking up a dollop of peanut butter and avoiding the stickiness. What's better -- it's all-natural. Bamba's list of ingredients is: peanuts (49%), corn, vegetable oil, and salt.
The snack is starting to hit regular grocery stores (finally!) in Canada, and I don't know about stores stateside, but it is available here. Any bamba fans out there?

(See http://www.osem.co.il/Eng/_Articles/Article.asp?CategoryID=41&ArticleID=37) Wal-Mart of all places carries Bamba, even in Des Moines, Iowa. Look for it in the tiny kosher part of the ethnic food section.

The study noted that Israeli children are less susceptible to peanut allergies. Since Bamba is one of the first "real foods that very young children are given, and, while their systems are still developing, this addition of Bamba to their diet helps many of these kids develop resources to avoid developing an allergy to peanuts and nuts.
