Snackspert: ‘This snack bar owner really gets it’

Mexicano snack broodje

Instagram phenomenon @snackspert, known in mayonnaise as Eke Bosman, is sharing his love for the mexicano this week. Because he ate a mexicano sandwich unlike any he had eaten before. ‘Yes, then you really get it as a snack bar owner.’

The biggest snack revolution since 1984, according to mexicano itself. Recognizable by its unique shape, flavor and size, and impossible to imagine the list of favorite snacks without it since that golden snack year of 1984.

Mexicano

But wait a minute? Isn’t the mexicano the most unhealthy snack you can order at a snack bar? We know: a snack bar isn’t a place where you think about calories, but still, let’s mention it: one mexicano contains 390 calories (and 7.3 grams of salt, also an insane amount). But if you’re going to sin, do it properly, is our motto. Buy a real showstopper of a mexicano right away. And for that, you need to go to Automatiek ‘t Puntje, says snackcrack Snackspert.

What an excellent idea: cut a mexicano (or belcanto, which is also an option) into three strips, put them in a soft bread roll and pour some satay sauce over them. Yes, then you really get it as a snack bar owner. The thin cucumber slices provide the fresh element, although I don’t quite understand the few fries, but hey, not everyone can always score six, not even a club like PSV. Where can you get this? At Automatiek ‘t Puntje in Amsterdam-Noord, run by the very likeable owner Uzzi, who named this creation after his son Ibie. There’s a 110% chance he’ll strike up a heartwarming conversation with you, and more people should do that. What a lovely place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
