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?

    Their 'Extra Special Smoked Mixed Nuts' are rather nice but as you say, the price...

    And it is really hard to grow your own nuts. In the yard, on trees. image

    I've never understood why nuts are so expensive! A fairly tiny pack can cost £6 : ( Often the single most expensive item during grocery shopping.

    Mmm, I can get behind this, a favourite of mine has been salt and pepper cashews from Asda, but the price of them is definitely unfair! Due to IBD I also watch what I eat, so it can be quite a balancing act. Well done on your diet maintenance!

    While these days I sometimes simply pry it apart with my hands, previously I've used... the cupboard door, the wall.. the floor, and in a past job, my co-worker would enjoy kicking it with his martial arts techniques.

     

    This is obviously an opportunity for other sciences and engineering image

    "...maybe someone could build a Chocolate Orange Tapping Machine?..."

    hmmm... I knew one of these would come in handy...

  • 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.

    I haven’t had pickled eggs in years - need to try making them image

    Perfect tool...maybe someone could build a Chocolate Orange Tapping Machine? Maybe it could use the TinyML or Arduino Nano Sense to undertake some Machine Learning to crack it perfectly, separating every segment each time? It would need a lot of tests so I'd volunteer to help in those stages of developmentimage
