World of snacks — 4/18/2024

cover for World of snacks showing plastic backs of snacks with food spilling out

Time for a more exciting snack run. In this week’s cover story, John Fladd checks out the snack offerings at four area international food markets and then walks you through making a snack from the region’s cuisine at home. Find new flavors and add some global flair to your snack break with the help of this story. Photo on cover and above by John Fladd.

Also on the cover Zachary Lewis looks at the Indoor Scottish Festival (page 18) and meets the caretakers of local wild animals in need of help (page 20) — some of which you may see at Discover Wild NH Day. And in Nite, Michael Witthaus talks to an organizer and a performer for a four-band show at the Shaskeen on Saturday (see page 32) — plus find more live music this weekend and beyond in the Music This Week, which starts on page 34.
