To hold you over between BuHi restaurant meals, head to the snack aisles of the Buford Highway Farmers Market for an around-the-world tour of munchies, including visits to Mexico and South Korea, the Philippines and China, El Salvador and Russia. Our favorite of the bunch: GGE Wheat Crackers, which are like tiny cylinders of dry, prepackaged ramen noodles. The oddest: the Ukrainian, crouton-like bread snacks with an intensely smoky sausage flavor that will take you back to summer camp. The cutest: milk-chocolate mushroom caps with cookie stems from Lithuania. Not feeling any of those? We’ve got every other possible craving covered below.
