I want something crispy and crunchy and savoury, what do I want?!

[addler]

Pregnant and hungry. I really want something that has crunch, is crispy and savoury that isn't crisps!

But I don't know what I want.

What do I want?!

Corn crackers (like rice cakes, but thinner and much tastier) with peanut butter. Divine!

Crispy salt and pepper chicken, but the takeaway will not be open yet!

Findus crispy pancakes.

You probably want the maple cured home smoked pork belly I'm making today. Tough

Peanuts ? My first thought was really crunchy chicken nuggets.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan that does sound amazing, can I have some ? Also can you please share the recipe ?

Yy to PP who said radishes!
I ate so many when I was expecting one of mine!

Prawn toast and crispy seaweed?

Japanes “tempura style” seaweed crisps

cheese crispy bits made by frying grated cheese
in a dry non-stick pan until it turns into little lacy pancakes

Toast with butter and a slice of ham on it. Nice ham. Naice ham, even.

Scampi fries. The kind you get in the pub. They are a level up from crisps and amazing.

Ritz biscuits

OP: something crispy, crunchy and

savoury..?

MN: Carrot sticks and hummus

Me: 🙃

I immediately thought of coleslaw OP. Or sahara hot nuts.

rice cakes, salt and vinegar

Crispy chicken wings 😘

Salt and vinegar pork scratchings
Baked soya beans, chickpeas or fava beans with plenty of salt
Vegetable crudités
Pickled onions
Tempura prawns

Crispbread with peanut butter and, if you are really hungry, a slice of Cheddar or other strong cheese on top.

Pretzels dipped in peanut butter
Bread sticks dipped in hummus
Cheese and crackers

I was absolutely obsessed with breaded chicken breasts, not nuggets as they were too small. Something about the crunchy salty protein combo just hit the spot.

Salt and vinegar chickpea mix (co op) was the first thing that came to mind..
Crackers with something (I'll put most things on a cracker 😂)
Doritos and dip
Cheese straws

The recipe is pretty straightforward - just maple syrup, brown sugar and salt (and I've added a splash of bourbon) but you'll need a home smoker, which is the tricky part!

When I was pregnant and I had this exact desire I used to make myself the most extravagant tuna sandwiches, with lots of pickles and mayonnaise.

When I was pregnant, my thing was tuna and sweetcorn wraps with huge amounts of mayo, sea salt and (absolutely crucial) about half a red onion, finely chopped and mixed in.
