- Hi Beryl, hi everyone. My name is Nina. I'm from Pasig City in the Philippines. The snack that I would like to introduce to everyone is called the dynamite cheese sticks, or simply just called the dynamite. Basically, dynamite is a spicy finger food that's typically rolled in what we call lumpia wrappers. The reason why it's called dynamite is because of the shape that you make after rolling it and frying it. And also because it's spicy, hence dynamite. The main ingredients are, of course, the green chilies. It's a chili that's typically used when creating soups and stews, but I guess some genius found a way to fry it up and serve it as a finger food. And of course, you have to stuff it with cheddar cheese and you can also stuff it with any ground meat of your choice. I personally like to stuff it with ground beef, just because it's more tasty. At least for me. It might have been invented in the Bicol Region. It's basically the spice capital of the Philippines. They actually grow different types and different varieties of chilies. The farmers there just found a way to maximize all the chilies that they're growing from the land. When it comes to eating dynamite, I really love when you're in a bar drinking while you're talking with your friends. Or even just on a quiet Saturday night, you can eat it while watching a movie. At least that's what I like to do with my boyfriend. It's a really special snack, because of a time back in college when I was really broke, and it helped me get through it, you know. It might be a little bit complicated when you make it at first, but once you get the hang of it, I'm pretty sure you're gonna stocking up your freezers. And then, whenever you feel like having a snack, just open the fridge, fry up a couple of pieces and then you should be good to go.
