For his birthday, Sam got a bag of chin chin from his team-mates at AFC Richmond. He was particularly impressed with it, saying, "Wow, this is all I used to eat growing up." This indicated that its origin was West African, just like Sam himself.
Ted then noted that it was a deliberate effort to "bring some home to [Sam]", since he hadn't been home "in a while".
Behind the scenes[]
Chin chin is a genuine snack found in West Africa. This detail from the props department therefore helps sell the idea that Sam is indeed from Nigeria.
