Let's talk snacks. My favourite quick snacks:
Hot pockets
Sao, butter, tomato, cheese, p&s Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter, Salmon & lobster spread/anchovette spread/Vegemite
Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter sardines
Jattz/topz/ritz/savoy butter and pate
Cruskits butter, smoked salmon, cucumber, sour cream, fish roe.
Popcorn
I'm sure there's more. Can't think right now. What's your favourites?
Iβm basic and lazy. For meals I like to put effort in, but snacks need to be instant. Fruit, slice of cheese, nuts, crackers, biscuits. If Iβm feeling particularly energetic I might have a carrot with some dip. But I donβt faff around with making carrot sticks, just slice on the diagonal and dip in. I actually think itβs better slicing like this because more surface area to scoop the dip.
Peanut butter toast.
nuts
dried fruit
toasties
biscuits
any homemade cake, bread or scone
My very favourite snacks are Toasted Turkish bread with cheap olive oil spread and 333s mighty Mite or crunchy peanut butter, popcorn, dark chocolate, sliced tomatoes on wholemeal bread toast, mi Goreng noodles, something with pesto on it, olives, those rice cake things made of corn, breakfast cereal had at any time other than breakfast time, chocolate and oat snack bars, mandarins, tiramisu, chocolate eclairs, table grapes, vanilla yoghurt, lightly salted kettle type chips, bread, trail mix.. and actually a frightening amount of whatever the kids haven't finished.
Seaweed flavoured rice crackers smeared with cream cheese - agree that snax need to be instant. So packet of crackers on one side, tub of cream cheese on the other, plate and butter knife in the middle. If I'm feeling fancy I grind pepper on top of the cheese. Or plain saladas with pate.
Cream cheese. I can eat that all day long. Just me and a butter knife and cream cheese. Yummy.
I love the contrast of crunch and creamy, with a bit of tang. Lovely. Pate hits different but still has that lovely contrast.
