I mean after dinner, when you're watching the tele and fancy a pick at something?

I like a little tub with tiny pickled onions and cubes of cheese in it.

@Susannahmoody

I never fancy a "pick" at something. I either eat it or I don't.

^^

Get that party started chic

😂

@Inthesameboatatmo....baklava oh my. Then do not, I repeat, do not, pop into home bargains where they do a small but delicious box for about £4!
When I go in for cleaning stuff ( yeah right) I swear I have to avert my eyes!

Moonwatcher1234 · 08/09/2021 20:41

Crisp sandwich…walkers cheese an onion on cheap white bread with plenty of butter. Accompanied by a strong cup of tea. I once put fish fingers in it as well but that was a bit too much I think.

@goose1964

Polish pretzel sticks, bacon flavoured for preference
Bacon flavour - is that a thing?? 👀
EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 08/09/2021 20:44

Cheese, bread sticks and dip

CityCommuter · 08/09/2021 20:52

@winteroversummer If I get peckish while watching TV I love a few Jacobs cream crackers and butter with a nice strong cup of tea, yum!

On another note I bet @Chicchicchicchiclana is fun at parties Hmm

FlatteredFool · 08/09/2021 20:54

Maltesers straight from the freezer.

Kettle chips.

Salted lentil chips.

Chilli heatwave Doritos with Rose's lime marmalade as a dip. Goes perfectly with Budweiser.

NigellaSeed · 08/09/2021 21:00

Fruit gums. Fizzy laces. Shreddies. Mango/fruit

catnidge · 08/09/2021 21:04

I make my own trail mix, pretzels, peanuts, caramel peanuts ,mini peanut butter cups, M&M's, sweet and salty popcorn, mixed nuts, dried fruit. It's so good!

HelloDulling · 08/09/2021 21:11

Before dinner, cherry tomatoes and bits of Brie, maybe some cured meat (why am I so fat?)

After, a cup of tea and a few Malteasers/Wispa bites. I don’t each much chocolate, but I do enjoy a little bit after a meal.

fluffiphlox · 08/09/2021 21:11

This is a new world to me. We finish dinner and clear up and watch a bit of TV from 9-ish but don’t have anything else to eat. I’m missing out. Deep frozen maltesers here I come!

GreenTortoise · 08/09/2021 21:11

Crisps. I'd eat a whole bloody multipack if I could.

FireworkParrot · 08/09/2021 21:13

Sensations chicken and thyme flavoured crisps.

Doritos with dip (preferably a couple of different dips).

Honey roasted cashews.

Blue cheese on crackers.

A chunk of crusty bread spread with honey, goats cheese and drizzled with truffle oil.

Or alternatively just an entire box of maltesers!

RubyFakeLips · 08/09/2021 21:19

Cofresh Potato Grills, ideally Lemon and Chilli but will endure Jalapeño if my hunter gatherer fails at the shops.
Bombay Mix type things
Wasabi peas or the Itsu Wasabi Prawn Crackers.
After Eights or Chocolate Pretzels when PMS hits.

Mainly allow myself apple slices to control my weight though

Inthesameboatatmo · 08/09/2021 21:20

@amdone123.
Ooh do they !! I'm off there tomorrow now 🤣

JurassicShay · 08/09/2021 21:23

Cheap plain crisp dipped in dairylea
Walnuts, pistachios actually all the nuts
Marmite & salt n vinegar sticks sandwich
Choc nibbles
Dark chocolate
Parisienne baguette with extra mature cheddar whacked in the microwave for 45secs so the cheese is like molten lava & the bread is gooey but crunchy still!

raindropsonmywindow · 08/09/2021 21:25

Love a cheese board with meat selection and crackers, found a new one in aldi this week and it was just Devine.
Also love bbq Pringles with a cheese and chive dip and some form of chewy sweet like skittles or haribos

NigellaSeed · 08/09/2021 21:35

By the way. Must add. When I say fruit gums. I mean fruit gums. Not fruit pastels. Not wine gums! (I spit on your wine gums!) Not jelly tots. Not midget gems!! Fruit gums. They are my favourite. I love fruit gums. (Especially the green ones.) It's not hard to remember is it?
I mean, you've only known me 7 years and I'm the mother of your child!!

Glwysen · 08/09/2021 21:38

Costco peanut butter pretzels

Also cheese and crackers with some pickled onions

Seriously, you’re in a good habit so don’t start. Jokes aside, my tv watching snacking when kids are asleep has made me really quite unhealthy.
TheCanyon · 08/09/2021 21:54

Just had a toffee crisp. I buy two or three different multipack bars a week. Can't eat chocolate if I'm having a drink though, so might munch some crisps instead, preferably sensations thai sweet chilli.

AlCalavicci · 08/09/2021 22:00

Oh so many picky bits to pick from.
It depends on what takes my fancy ,
At the moment I am eating Tescos fizzy belts, but other times it's cheese , or soft fruit like raspberries, strawberrys, melon , or Pringles and salsa dip .

Sometimes instead of a evening meal I will make a cheese board with dips pickles and cured meat and just pick at it throughout the evening .

Neverunderstood · 08/09/2021 22:02

@Holshicup

Sweet chilli rice crackers, actually have concerns I have developed an addiction to them.
@Holshicup Philadelphia cheese with sweet chilli sauce is amazing!
TherebytheGraceofGodgoI · 08/09/2021 22:03

I wait for everyone to go to bed and then help myself to a large heaped spoon of Nutella!
It’s my secret. DH always wonders why there’s a spoon in the sink in the morning 😀

Holshicup · 08/09/2021 22:09

[quote DowntrainTrain]@Holshicup

Do you mean the little round ones from Tesco deli?
2 for £2 or 1 pack for £1.60?
They are very moreish and one of the few things I don’t share with Ddog😁
Absolutely lovely things!❤️[/quote]
These are with the crackers and breadsticks in a black packet, plain salted too but not nearly as nice, B& Ms have a different type which are lovely also!
I will be trying yours next time though😁
