What are these things?

I've been eating my weight in them in Peru and Bolivia but have no idea what they're called.

chestnuts?

No.

They look like beans but taste like nuts. They're always fried (sometimes skin off, sometimes on) and they seem to have no shelf life (if they're not fresh from some lady on the street they're inedible garbage).

Hey absolutely are not. They're flat and bean shaped.

Also nothing like Brazil nuts.

Shit I think you're right. Thanks!

They're crispy broad beans, and are commonly available in the snack food section of Asian groceries. They come in salted or spicy.

They're dried & toasted fava beans. Lightly salted. I don't even like fava beans but that shit is good and only about 25c on the streets.

Never travel my friend.

I normally just pick random items off the menu (particularly in Asian countries with indecipherable moon runes), and have no idea what's in it much of the time. That's how you experience new things.
