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

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!
