Best Snacks

[Homer_J]

Unhealthy: Tostitos and Salsa
or
Healthy: Fruit smoothies with frozen and fresh fruits, juice and yogurt. They're sweet.

I always try to avoid buying too much junk food because, if it's in the house, it's the first thing I go for. I'm a recovering junk food addict.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

Smoked Oysters are always tasty... expensive habit though. Pringles are a favored chip of choice.

Bag of uncooked ramen noodles w/ soup base powder still appeals to me once in a while (yeah that's old school, I know)

Rollo Ice Cream
Actually Most Ice Creams

Doritos
Ketchup Chips
Orange Pop

Snack Mix (Doritos, Cheetos, Pretzles, Sun Chips)

Apples
Oranges
Grapes

Carrots
Nachos and Salsa

I'm with Seinfeld on the Cereals, good any time of day. Yoghurt too, also like apples. But that makes me sound like a health nut. I also love popcorn, cheetos, mixed nuts, cinnamon buns etc. etc. !

Ohhhh! Forgot about that one. I love the Snack Mix. It's great for road trips.

The rampant use of the word "tasty" in this thread disturbs me.

I like those Lime flavored tortilla chips.

They are called "Hint of Lime chips"
The lime is so strong, its more like Hint of chip Limes. [/b][/quote]
Ha ha no doubt. Those chips are harsh on the lime.

My favorite junk food is the Hickory Sticks. They rool!

Ah, vietnamese springrolls. Especially from that place on Centre Street North. My girlfriend doesn't understand how I can prefer vietnamese springrolls to chinese. I can't understand how anyone can prefer the opposite.

Wheat thins and cracker-barrel old cheddar cheese, toasted. Has to be Cracker Barrel. Any other brand just doesn't taste as good.

Home-made pickled garlic--I made six cans of them this year, and I can't wait until they're done--still a couple weeks more. And I did one can of pickled garlic with lemongrass. Should be damn tasty. Also pickled carrots, pickled shallots, pickled thai peppers and pickled jalepenos.

Vitenamese springrolls have meat in them and Chinese usually don't. [/b][/quote]
Umm it's the other way around.

I prefer viet rolls just because they are smaller and easier to eat. If you eat a chinese spring roll in dimsum you will have MSG intoxication for 3 days!

[Cheese]

Sliced apples with a dollup of Peanut Butter...or the NEW Chocolate Peanut Butter...
Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich
Peanut Butter Rice Krisppe Squares..

Damn I love Peanut Butter!

[flamesfanforver]

Nibs, or anything else licorice related.

Well, I'm not sure I've ever had a vegetarian vietnamese spring-roll, but there are definitely meat-based chinese ones.

Generally, vietnamese use a mix of ground pork, carrots, and rice vermicelli, and are stuffed solid. Other ingredients often include ginger, daikon, and ground shrimp.

Chinese springrolls use a looser mix of ingredients--not packed solid like vietnamese. The key defining ingredient, I think, is the bean sprouts. Pretty much every chinese springroll I've ever had has beensprouts. Other common vegetables are bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, carrots, and mushrooms. And yes, chicken or pork is also used sometimes.

For me, part of it is the sauce--with vietnamese, you get the great fish-sauce-based stuff, and the ground pork just soaks it up. With the chinese springrolls, you get the thick, gelatinous plum sauce that just sort of coats everything. The vietnamese sauce is definitely better.

No way man, Hickory Sticks may be tasty but they're WAY too hard to eat. Impossible to fill your face with without cutting the sh*t outta your mouth, but it's not like that really matters as you could never grab that many outta the bag in the first place!!



Did I mention I can put 2 Mcdonalds chesseburgers in my mouth? I figure that's not bad for someone who's 6' and 175 lbs....a little off topic but all this talk of food got me thinking.

Some guy just broke the world record by getting 3 1/5 McDonalds bugers in his mouth. FYI.

I heard about that. Disturbing, actually, when you consider that I could hardly breathe or chew when I did it with 2. Mind you I was laughing so hard I was crying, so that might have had something to do with it!

you could have died! but mcdonald burgers are so small. Try putting 2 whoppers in your mouth at the same time. hehehe

I bought one of those stove-top popcorn poppers a few months ago- great purchase. A TBSP or two of oil (I like peanut oil, but any oil works) and some fresh kernels makes the best stuff on earth. Better than the best theatre popcorn once you perfect your technique/recipe. I highly recommend getting one of these. The Bay has them.

I'm also really into spreading cream cheese or bruschetta on either Ryvita sesame rye crisps or on PC brand swedish toasts. Lactania mediterranean salsa spread is the best.

Beer makes a good snack too. Helps put me to bed late at night. Ha.

[Calgary Flames]

I think it'd be a crime to not mention Saddledome Nachos in this thread.

Are you guys like me and think that it'd be a billion times better if there were no pretzels in them? For the love of God, why are there pretzels in that snack mix???? :angry:

[spydermal]

Yes i also hate the pretzels in the mix, especially if u are drink less. I always say they should make a pretzel free mix. It would make my snacking alot easier.

[Patek23]

pita bread with a veggie dip gets me through the day.
