worth it

Why it's worth it

Invented in the 1960s, Lorenz Erdnusslocken are corn curls rolled in freshly ground peanuts and are the prototypical German Bundesliga-fan snack, with a pure peanut taste. There is no direct Czech supermarket equivalent to the ground-peanut coating, so they are a genuinely German savoury nibble to try.

Taste

Airy corn curls coated in freshly ground peanuts; crispy outside, melt-in-the-mouth inside, strong roasted-peanut flavour, savoury

If you know Czech shelves

Czech corn puffs (kukuricne krupky) are the base cousin, but the freshly-ground-peanut coating is distinctive
