Flaming fire flakes



Flaming fire flakes are common snack items in Fire Nation territories. They're made of flakes covered with special spices and roasted at extremely high temperatures. Fire flakes are known to be infamously hot, though this may vary depending on the cook, as it is said that the fire flakes in the colonies are not as good as those in the Fire Nation archipelago. They are served at Fire Nation festivals and plays.

History
Aang, Katara and Sokka visited a Fire Nation colony to attend a local Fire Nation festival. Since Sokka was starving, he bought some flaming fire flakes from a nearby booth and wolfed down the snack, only to discover that the snack was called "flaming fire flakes" for a reason. The Water Tribe boy tried to cool down his tongue by wiping off the remainders of the snack. He seemed to like the snack, however, because when he and the rest of Team Avatar were watching a play in the Ember Island Theater, he asked Aang to bring him back some fire flakes.

The snack wasn't only used on special occasions, but was shown to be a common snack. Mai could be seen eating fire flakes out of a large bowl, and offered some to her distressed father after Tom-Tom's disappearance. They were seen again being eaten by a spectator at a circus.
