A thread for people who enjoy savoury snacks over sweet treats

[pastabest]

I just had a whole mozzarella topped with chopped baby tomatoes, a little garlic oil, balsamic glaze, some fresh basil and some black pepper. I ate it out of a bowl with a spoon like normal people might eat icecream.

Other Saturday night highlights from previous weeks include toasted red onion and goats cheese sandwiches, tinned Anchovies and olives and Pate on salted biscuits with a fig chutney.

Give me some savoury inspiration for next Saturday

I’ve had half a bag of peanut curlys this evening.

Your mozzarella dish is exactly my type of thing.

I’m a big fan of a plate of homemade butter rah hummus, or tzatziki, topped with good olive oil and toasted pine nuts with a whole meal pitta and some carrot sticks.

I can’t buy chorizo anymore because I just stand infront of the fridge in my pants at 1am chewing on it.

That's me.
Ive not had snacks tonight but Im a totally savoury person.

I like homemade pitta chips/ crisps, made in the air fryer. Tiny bit of olive oil and some chilli salt.

Can't beat cheese and crackers. Or pate on crackers. Or just some really nice bakery bread, thick slices spread with proper butter.

For inspiration you need dolmades, any type of spanish/Italian cold meat, ditto olives.
Boquerones, artichoke hearts, olive oil breadsticks, smoked almonds, tapenade.
Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese.

These all sound
Amazing.

For dinner tonight I’m baking a while Brie in puff pastry with some apricot jam - I feel like that could be included here.

I had a salad nicoise with garlic bread. I don't like sweets.

@Chiyo666 I can’t buy chorizo anymore because I just stand infront of the fridge in my pants at 1am chewing on it.

I thought I was the only one 🤣

Some aren't spicy enough. Coop 2 for £5 I could eat a whole one daily.

we've all been there

I absolutely love olives of course, my favourites are queen greens or kalamatas, but I'll eat any.

I drive 25 miles to my nearest Waitrose to get chorizo because it’s naice

[Groans] chopped up grilled pitta breads with DIPS

Proper pork crackling

Large chunks of proper ham

A pot of sunblush tomatoes with dipping bread

Hungry now

A whole warm ciabatta dipped into a whole yummy mixture of balsamic and olive oil...

Olives are the food of gods. After a long walk on a hot day. Get a shower. Pour a glass of wine, nibble olives, salted nuts and sundried tomatoes before making dinner.

Taramasalata 😋 (Greek dip) with crusty baguette, manchego cheese, Brie, smoked cheese, pate, gerkins,black olives

I could go on n on n on

I'm addicted to red grapes wrapped in Serrano ham.

Oooh, taramasalata is one of my favourites, I like it on foccacia with extra lemon juice squeezed on top.

I just did an involuntary soft moan and DH just asked me what I was looking at on my phone

Erm, snacks

I recently made the below chorizo in red wine tapas and oh my it's good! The mopped up juices on bread

I often make myself a Greek salad. Cucumber, ripe tomatoes, red onions & black olives tossed in good olive oil & Oregano and topped with a lump of proper feta. Absolutely delicious, and far tastier than a cupcake.

Ooh...piquante peppers stuffed with ricotta, parma ham and marinated artichokes. Hungry now.

I generally don't like peppers at all, but once a year I do get some padron peppers and eat them all to myself.
(They repeat on me horribly and aren't worth it except for padrons)

aaaand that's chorizo added to the shopping list

I'm all about the dips and the spreads!

Guacamole
Hummus of most flavors
Salsas of all kinds
Garlic dip
Spinach & Artichoke
Tzatziki
Pinto bean with chiles
Beer cheese
Queso
Peanut
Tapenade

Serve with pita bread, tortilla chips, homemade bread, thin bread sticks, baby carrots, cucumbers, peppers, celery, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes, pretzels, crackers...

Obviously, charcuterie boards appeal to me. So much savory goodness!
