I like all the usual stuff...Cheetos Cheese Puffs, popcorn, and anything and everything chocolate but lately, I have been on an almond and dried cranberry (craisen) kick. One almond taken with around 6 cranberries...yum!
Well, there are a lot of low fat, low protein snacks around with shelf lives of 150 years or more, but when I want a snack that offers more than what’s sitting up on my pantry shelves, I head over to Fuel City on Riverfront, and bring home a half dozen barbacoa tacos and fixins from the taco window there.
Those barbacoa tacos are heaven on earth south side of Dallas style. The tacos al pastor aren’t bad either, but you have to be in Dallas to enjoy either.
I like to add a little hot sauce to my butter........................it gives the final product a little kick! Why grapeseed oil? I’m just curious because I always use canola.
We might be the only two people left who make popcorn the old fashioned way..............there’s no other way!
Yeah, with a Swedish grandmother in the house, I learned to love herring. That’s the only way I’ll eat raw fish.
How rude of you! Now I will be fixated on this all day........who cares about work???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
Try the whole grain ones. Taste just the same & you get a punch of nutrition................Cheezits are everyone’s lovable snack.............so good!
Then try smoked fish dip on a saltine with Tabasco.
Let's see, I like chips, salt and vinegar flavor (fav in the UK), then when I visited India they had a lot of great snack food -- like banana chips, sweet banana chips (yum, yum), some fried dough things 'chakles'. Then in the Middle East I love to snack on plain bread called koboss. in Hong Kong, they have these tofu balls battered and deep fried, mmm....
On the healthy side, snacking on carrots or babycorn is nice, while now that I've moved to poland I'm hooked on paluski (salty dough sticks like straight pretzels) or pierniki (gingerbread cookies)
hey — have you tried the different varieties of kabanos?
Frito-Lay Hot Peanuts and a cold beer. My bird dog loves the combination, too.
I don’t eat a lot of snacks, but I do like sardines, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds once in a while.
I make Buffalo Popcorn - melt butter, add Texas Pete hot sauce, a dash of celery seed and very finely crumbled blue cheese. Pour over popcorn - salt to taste - stir.
Or caramel corn - melt butter - add some brown sugar and white Karo syrup and a dash of salt, pour over popcorn and stir.
I've got a ton of sardines right now because I used them as Walgreens fillers while working my deals.
I want to go to a party where all the FReepers on this thread bring their favorite snacks to try...
YUM!
The ones packed in olive oil are the best. :)

A peanutbutter and chopped celery sandwich. Can’t beat it.
Roflmao! I have to show my husband. He is getting a bit impatient with my new addiction. He took me aside yesterday to discuss “the bag in the backseat of the car!”
I like to make my own beef or venision jerky to snack on.
We love to take come tortillas and lightly toast them one one side, take cheese and put it between two of them. Toast them like a cheese sandwich and eat with chunky salsa. We also dip them into ranch dressing on occasion.
