Panchuker | Traditional Snack From Tucumán Province, Argentina | TasteAtlas

Panchuker

(Pachunque, Pancho chino)

Panchuker is a popular snack originating from Argentina. It can be found at numerous street food stalls in the country and consists of a sausage that's covered with a waffle-like coating. The snack is served on a stick for easier consumption, just like a corn dog.


There are many versions of panchuker and some of them contain cheese, while others are accompanied by sauces. Panchuker can also be found in Uruguay and other South American countries, but it's the most popular in the Argentine province of Tucumán.


Interestingly, the snack is so popular that there are special stoves called panchukeras which make only these snacks.
