When we think of our school exams, we immediately remember those handwritten notes, colourful gel pens, and bulky textbooks.
Ah, the good old days when exam stress was met with comforting snacks that fuelled our study sessions. Yes, those mom-approved snacks were the highlight!
If you're a 90s kid reminiscing about those simpler times, get ready for a trip down memory lane as we revisit some iconic exam-time snacks that every '90s kid remembers.
To the times when eating something fried was not considered unhealthy and was easily digestible to us! Yes, we're talking about samosas and kachoris - the ultimate snacks that sponsored many study marathons back in the '90s.
The joy of biting into a freshly fried samosa or a kachori, feeling the explosion of flavours dance on your taste buds - it was pure bliss. Whether enjoyed piping hot from the school canteen or as a sneaky treat during late-night cramming sessions, samosas and kachoris were more than just snacks; they were nostalgic companions on our academic journeys.
That red coloured sauce and too much flaky patty, life was really mesmerising back then. You know what was better? the school canteen patties - a classic 90s kid snack that brings back so many nostalgic memories. The crispy exterior and flavourful filling made these patties a favourite among students during exam time.
The aroma of freshly fried patties wafting through the air as we eagerly stood in line at the canteen is a memory etched in our minds forever. One bite into that crunchy crust revealing a delicious mix of potatoes, peas, and spices was pure bliss. Even though those school days are long gone, just thinking about those school canteen patties can transport us back to simpler times filled with laughter, friendship, and tasty snacks.
Today, kids have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to backed goods or just pastries. From lavish cheesecakes to mousses, they have wide variety available but the real OG will always be our pineapple pastry. This beloved treat from our school days that still brings back memories of carefree times.
From birthday parties to exam times, this soft sponge cake layered with creamy frosting and topped with juicy pineapple slices was always a delightful indulgence during exam season.
Whether enjoyed as a quick snack between study sessions or during lunch break in the school cafeteria, the pineapple pastry never failed to lift our spirits. It offered a much-needed break from the stress of exams and assignments.
The combination of sweetness from the cake and the slight acidity of the pineapple created a perfect balance that kept us coming back for more. Even now, just reminiscing about those delicious pastries is enough to bring a smile to our faces. It's amazing how food has such power to evoke nostalgia and transport us back to simpler times.
Those who complain that kids nowadays do not love Indian sweets, try Besan Laddu. These were our favourites back in the day. For some, their mother or grandmother used to make it while others used to buy it from a ‘halwai’.
Besan Ke Laddu has a special place in every 90s kid's heart, symbolizing the warmth and sweetness of exam time memories. These delicious treats not only satisfied our taste buds but also provided us with the energy to study for hours on end.
Thinking over about these snacks again and again? let's take a trip down memory lane and cherish the simpler times when exams meant fun breaks with friends over samosas, patties, pineapple pastries, and Besan Ke Laddu.
