traditional snack
Time-honored finger food
A traditional snack is a food associated with a particular culture, region, or occasion, typically eaten between meals and passed down through generations.
The phrase emphasizes authenticity or heritage: We served traditional snacks at the Lunar New Year party.
What counts as traditional depends on context—pretzels in Germany, samosas in India, popcorn at American movies.
