What do you call this snack? These are neither croutons nor dry bread, as I understand.
Grilled pieces of bread with different chemical flavours
Grilled bread bites
I don’t think there is a word we would use for this. We would likely describe it as the “Russian snack” and describe the flavor/texture/shape.
What are they made of? They kinda look like croutons, which are dried bread. But yeah, I don't think there is a US English word for those if they are not croutons.
Yes, they are heavily seasoned croutons, people usually eat them as beer snack, or just for fun like sunflower seeds. People don’t use them as classical croutons (for soups and salads)
I see, I would probably call them bread chips/crisps or something like that. Maybe "snacking croutons" even. Bread chips are a snack in the US for sure, usually they look more like small slices of bread and (as far as I have seen) typically either part of a snack mix with other things like nuts and various crunchy/salty bits, or served with some kind of a dip, not seasoned much beyond salty and maybe garlicky or buttery or something like that.
I have definitely snacked on croutons so I can see the appeal :)
I speak some Russian but I didn't recognize the name of it and when I Google translated it by speaking the word into it it literally just translated the exact same pronunciation to English letters. So I really don't think there's a name for this Beyond how you pronounce it

Not all sunflowers have seeds, there are now known dwarf varieties developed for the distinct purpose of growing indoors. Whilst these cannot be harvested, they do enable people to grow them indoors without a high pollen factor, making it safer and more pleasant for those suffering hay fever.
What a bizarre, obnoxious bot
I've never tried, but I think you can answer "bad bot" ?
I saw this earlier and wondered too, is this a troll, a bot, or reddit trying a new advertising method
Based on the comment history, seems like a bot
I don’t think there’s a specific English word for these. I’ve never seen them before. We’d probably just call them kirieshki.
Yeah, since I don't have a word for these things, I would just do my best to approximate the Russian name.
“Have you tried these new Russian snacks? They're called keerrrees ... krishna ... krishkies ...”
Kiriyeshki is the brand's name. The snack is called sukhariki
kirieshki
That’s the name, but I still have no idea what it is. You would have to describe it to most English speakers.
If you just said "rusk" I'd think you were talking about the dry unflavoured bread snack often used as a teething food for babies.
Or the kind used as a cereal filler in British sausages and the like.
Thats's what it is, just flavoured and for adults.
This is the right answer.
I'd say it's actually kupuelllku
Thank you all, wonderful people 🙏
This is a Russian snack so there is no word for this in English
looks like a lamb-flavored snack? Not speaking Russian I might call them "lamb fries" or something because they kinda look like French fries... but not really. Just a Russian snack I've never seen before.
Lamb fries are already a snack, referring to a very specific part taken off of a male lamb.
Rocky Mountain oysters would be the comparable name for the equivalent snack from a bull.
they are?! Oh crap... I had no idea. I'm a Colorado native so I know exactly what Rocky Mountain oysters are but I've never heard of "lamb fries" to mean that... I was literally thinking like little French fries with lamb flavoring.
We don’t eat much lamb in the US, so I’d be surprised if it’s a well-known term here. I picked it up from a British novel, IIRC.
to be fair I'm British and don't know that one either, our lamb is mostly lamb shank (leg of lamb), lamb chop, or in kebab form
“Foreign snack”
Кириешки - is the first commercial crackers in KZ. That's why we call all of crackers кириешки
I also know suhariki :) I wonder what an English word is, but thank you )
Ты есть добро пожаловать =D I just mentioned it as fun fact. Пришлось погуглить как вообще переводятся сухари.
Ай кол зем Кириешки
Why
Wdym "Why"?
"Crouton" is the closest word we have. Maybe "crouton straws", to describe the shape.
Yeah, I was thinking crouton sticks but they're not something we have in Australia either.
They also so much harder than croutons can be.
Ukrainian company that makes Flint translates it as bread crisps
If you're looking for something similar, I can recommend italian bruschetta. Though it's made of white bread, so it's only similar to "hrusteam" and not to the regular sukhariki
I don't know the answer to you question, but I guess I can relate to why you asked it lol
I have no earthly idea what this item of food is. It may not even have an English name
Even the word “кириешки” itself in Russian makes no sense so I too am curious what they call it
"crispy bread sticks", perhaps?
Ребята, вы как без кириешек вообще живете🙃
Idk honestly, maybe shashlik sticks? 😅
We would just call them “snacks”. There’s no shashlik flavored anything in the English-speaking world.
The second one looks like croutons
I call this naebalovo
Dried lampchops and breadsticks? (I have no idea!)
from the us, i don't think we have a word for this
Сухарики, лол
The closest thing we have to this in the US is probably melba toast or croutons. The broader term would be rusk.
Kiriyeshki.
In all seriousness the closest thing I can think of is breadsticks or veggie straws.
What are they made of? Potato? Here in Australia we'd just call them chips.
I have absolutely no clue what I am looking at sorry. Based on the description in the comments, if I were marketing them here in Australia I'd probably go with something like "crunchy wheat snacks" or "toast crisps" or maybe some sort of pun on cruton?
Soy crisps are a semi-popular snack here and it's the closest thing my brain will give me, it's like a fat crunchy chip made of soy.. something.
I have no clue what those are.
The first one: “It’s like Veggie Straws, but meat-flavored.”
The second one: “Snacking croutons.” –“What do you mean? You don’t snack on just croutons [in America].” –“Why not? You eat bagel chips, and you put breadsticks in Chex mix. It’s all the same.”
Yeah, they seem kind of similar to cheese straws or those hard breadsticks that restaurants sometimes put on the table standing up in a glass.
Melba toast, or biscotti
Kmaxis
I'd just call them a snack. I was thinking bruschetta (I've tried them in snack form), but no, it's a different shape.
Russian bshit ?
Yeah just a snack
У пендосов нет сухариков, капец
Hueshki
a cringe statement, get more based ☹️👎

This isn’t a snack I’ve ever seen in the US, we might not have a word for it.
