Filipinos are confused about Ivanka Trump's party snack choice
Ivanka Trump may know a little more about Filipino food traditions than the average American, going by the dish she served up this week.
On Tuesday, Trump threw her daughter, Arabella, a birthday party where she served hot dog franks on skewers, topped with melted marshmallows.
Yeah, it's not a dish you see very often.
She shared the peculiar combination on Instagram Stories, and it raised plenty of eyebrows from American users on social media.
