Personal Note: In Germany, I am told that I am a Kickernd, and my haircutter was not able to spell it to me, so she said that the word is spelled like Kichererbsen, thru the word Kichererbsen I learned a new German word to best describe myself. So when I was in Austria, my friend, Thomas said I am a "kichernd", he said I am always giggling "Du bist immer am Kichernd" .

Kikiam in the food context refers to a popular Filipino street food item that originated from Chinese cuisine. Traditionally, it is made from ground pork or shrimp mixed with finely chopped vegetables (such as carrots and water chestnuts), wrapped in bean curd sheets (tawpe), and then steamed or deep-fried until golden brown.
