TV snack foods are the favorite of my wife’s brother. We always bring a pack of pistachio, chips, fried pork rind (that we call chicharon here) and other snack items. That gives me the idea that making snack foods can be a home-based business.
When the lockdown was declared here and many have lost their jobs, one neighbor consulted me for a possible small business. I suggested cooking snack food. She experimented with matured corn kernels but not really for popcorn. It is fried to be crunchy and flavored with salt. But she added red pepper in the frying pan. The mix of salty taste with the spicy hot pepper gave the cornik a unique taste. We call it cornik to mean crunchy corn. Even when she was back to her job she cooks cornik once in a while for extra income.
