veratek May 4, 2008:
Pina, yes, I think so, it makes sense in the context, or as Katrina mentioned, even going for a broader categorization: which includes pretzels, chips, nuts, etc.
PB Trans May 2, 2008:
vera-tech: do you think it's a product like this? http://www.brazilexplore.com/shop/moredetails.aspx?prodid=77...
veratek May 2, 2008:
2a pista - a pergunta diz "qtos dos alim.s q vc seleciona CONTEM um ou + dos itens abaixo:" - nao faz sentido dizer que alguem seleciona um alimento que CONTEM coxinhas, folhados, etc - sao alimentos nao contidos, existem por si soh
veratek May 2, 2008:
I don't think they mean "salgadinhos" as in the most common usage (coxinhas, folhados, etc). Salgadinhos aparece na mesma categoria de roscas e biscoitos, logo, eu diria que o autor estava se referindo a algo como biscoitos salgados (snacks, crackers, etc

Note from asker:
If "salgadinhos" are "crackers," then are "biscoitos" cookies?
Many thanks!

Thank you, Luciana
disagree Amy Duncan (X) : "cracker" is "biscoito" and "salgadinhos" are those yummy greasy things like coxinha, kibe, etc.

In this part of the globe, crackers are salty and biscuits are sweet, and things like coxinha, kibe, etc. are more like hors d'oeuvres, imo...
agree veratek : I think it's quite possible it's something like crackers

aperitivo

Hola

Salgadinhos son los aperitivos que se sirven antes de una comida, pueden ser salados o dulces.

Espero te sirva, saludos.
Example sentence:

Son los salgadinhos, preceden a una cena o almuerzo como aperitivos, pero pueden constituir el menú completo de una boda, un bautismo o una fiesta de cumpleaños

savoury / savory

This is often how I translate "salgados" from European Portuguese and I believe the concept is similar. In British English savouries/savories are the general name for salty "finger food" or snacks.

That's fair enough and is the reason why I made sure to point out it was British English...I think giving a suggestion is valid, it may remind somebody of a better answer
neutral Carlos Quandt : agree with vera-tech, not a common term in the US

agree PB Trans : Definitely for the UK. However, I did find this US link: "stop into Padaria Brasil Bakery for a salgadinho, one of the savory snacks on display" http://www.boston.com/ae/food/articles/2007/05/02/taste_of_n...

Peer comment(s):
agree Carlos Quandt : The Brazilian "salgadinho" is hard to translate... "snack" is too general, IMO. Perhaps "finger food" (in reference to "coxinha", "kibe", things of the sort, usually fried!) is a satisfactory equivalent.

Given vera-tech's comment in the "asker box" above, I think the product in my first link ( http://www.brazilexplore.com/shop/moredetails.aspx?prodid=77... ) suits the asker's context.

The site below labels them as crackers but I think it could be misleading as some crackers are not necessarily salty and even have a healthy "image". I think the term salty /salted snacks gets the point across.
