Sorry man! Couldn't understand! What do you mean by "smores"?
My dictionory dictionary can't explain it.

How do you relate 'smores' with 'nukes'?

I think yes! We have Samosas, Pakoras, Corns, Kabaabs, many recipes of rice and
Pakistani version of western fast food etc. If you ever come to Pakistan, don't
forget to tell me. I'll tell you the best places to enjoy the best dishes of
Pakistan, especially above mentioned.
 From the different descriptions of Marshmallows and searching/viewing photos on
Net, I think we have something like marshmallows here but it is much lighter and
can't be used for enjoyment at campfires. It is called "Lachha" (pronunciation
of this word is pretty difficult to describe in English). It is made of sugar
and quickly dissolves in mouth. It has spongy, a bit sticky touch and mostly
children like it. It is found in many colours but white and pink colours are
popular.

Thanks!
