FIL: Isang uri ng pagkaing Pilipino na karaniwang tumutukoy sa pritong mani na may bawang at asin, na kinakain bilang kutkutin.
EN: fried peanuts with garlic
This is the ultimate pampulutan or movie snack. Forget popcorn, `butitos` is that crunchy, garlicky peanut goodness that you can't stop eating once you start. The name might sound like 'little boots' in Spanish, but it's all about the peanuts, baby.
From 'buto' (seed/bean) with a Spanish-style diminutive suffix '-itos'.
ROOT MEANING: seed, pit, stone (of a fruit)
While it can mean 'small beans', it almost exclusively refers to the peanut snack in modern usage.
