What's a good snack?

Not too dissimilar from hveteboller which I could very easily over-indulge on, from Norway (and similar countries in that area), very tasty :F

I totally want a food dehydrator... at the very least for my 3d printing filament, but at the most because I'd try drying everything (especially the herbs in the garden). A few people I know at Leeds Hackspace owns one for both reasons (food and filament) but they can't really decide on a good one, they're all somewhat suitable.

Ooh, I could get behind that. I'm surprised I haven't tried it yet.

I made some buns last night, more of a meal than a snack.

Granary flour, yeast, salt, milk, eggs, butter, sugar dried fruit, mixed spice, cinnamon,and nutmeg.

Best eaten toasted and buttered.

I do like sliced banana in evaporated milk sprinkled with sugar.  Always have, always will.  I really like the banana chips as well.  Can’t resist Haribo as my wife will attest and always partial to ready salted crisps.  Fresh, ripe figs are lovely but you do need to be careful how many of those you eat!  I think you might suffer a little if you ate them at the same rate as those clementines!

In fairness Shabaz, from my memory of living/working in India, many Indian sweets are what could best be described as “an acquired taste” for those of us used to a western diet.

Digestives are really special : ) And the chocolate coated ones.

I'm wondering, does anyone own a food dehydrator? They are not common in the UK I think, but was wondering if it's worth getting one, perhaps in the summer. They don't seem to be expensive. I have just not known anyone who owns one here.

It could be nice to make own dried snacks, or just to store off any fruit that might not get eaten otherwise, e.g. from home-grown produce etc., or maybe even some cooked dishes.. no idea if they taste nice after rehydrating!

Hi Doug,

If Malacca is what I think it is, then I believe I've possibly tried it, but not in fresh form. There's a (pretty awful tasting) Indian sweet/candy that uses it.. has almost a fermented taste from vague memory.. definitely an acquired taste in that candy format!

Also, is this the dried form, or is this something else? If it is, then it's _really_nice_ in a curry style dish.. the dried ingredient does not look nice, but the taste is exceptional, I can't describe it. I can find the recipe if required. It's never available in Indian restaurants, I don't know why. Guessing it may be a very specific localized dish or something.

Apple slices and assorted nuts is my favorite snack, but I've honestly eaten a lot more ice cream, chips/crisps and popcorn during 2020.

I have since taking that picture cleaned the keyboard of my ThinkPad, they sure do collect a lot of dust if you leave them open.

Oh, I forgot to mention Digestive biscuits/crackers (although they crumble into sand, so not really crackers). Those are so popular in Sweden that most people pronounce it as a Swedish word, unless their parents are academics. Three Digestives and a cup of coffee is my "I don't want breakfast"-breakfast and 2020 mood in general.

I can vouch for tamari roasted almonds being really good.
