What's a good snack?

cstanton

The supermarkets here in the UK are filled with clementines, and for some reason I can't get enough of them, seriously, I have a pile of 5-6 bags of them and... they're gone in a couple of days, something about that sweet tangyness flavour that just hits the spot right now.

 

For some there're different categories of snacks:

 

- Sweet

- Sour

- Savoury

- Umami

- Sugary

- Gooey

- Salty

- Cold

- Hot

 

For a sweet snack, I gravitate towards Terrys Dark Chocolate Orange... (there may be a theme here), sour is usually Haribo Tangfastics! Savoury, something like Doritos, and sugary I haven't really touched on sugary for a long while, but in my advent calendar I'm getting Haribo so that counts, right?

 

Gooey can't beat a good soft cookie though.

 

What do you like?

  • I have been a recovering diabetic for most of my adult life.  When diagnosed, the doctor wanted me to inject insulin.  I discussed this with the nutritionist that had sent me to the doctor to have my blood sugars tested and she suggested that I try to modify my eating habits.  I removed all sources of sugar and developed a habit of eating and snacking on healthy foods.  Presently my doctor says that I have no indications of diabetes in my blood work.

     

    My snack preferences lean towards the salty (unfortunately pushing my blood pressure) and if possible spicy items.  I prefer trail mixes (mixed nuts and some fruits), chips and fresh fruits and vegetables.
