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.

@Ruraljurer excellent x-post Grin

Oh I forgot I’d add lots of cheddar and then toast the sandwich!

Ruraljurer · 02/05/2022 10:02

@JesusInTheCabbageVan oh my goodness!

@JesusInTheCabbageVan Does it work if I just cook the bacon strips in a frying pan with maple syrup and sugar and liquid smoke ?

Toasted cheese and kimchi sandwich (is kimchi ok when pregnant?)

I was going to say the TUC cheese sandwich biscuits too, and Hula Hoops less greasy than crisps. Twiglets not greasy either.

My go to for a salty crunch hit if I'm trying to stay off the crisps ( because I'm addicted!) is a ryvita with half a slice of cheese and a cup of instant miso soup.

Tomeeornottomee · 02/05/2022 10:09

Have you tried crispbakes? Spread anything on them savoury or sweet. And under a pound for a pack of 12 (I think)

I inhaled a “chip shop curry snack mix” from Asda last night. It was costed nuts and the thin bits from Bombay mix and dried peas, curry flavour. So moreish

Findus crispy pancakes.

UpdateStoleMyProfile · 02/05/2022 10:17

Oven chips. The thin fry style ones with crunchy coating and lots of salt.

Breaded or battered onion rings. Slightly over baked.

Seasoned croutons.

Bacon, fried until it’s nearly cremated, and crumbled over any or all of the above.

Hot fresh popcorn.

mung beans, soaked for 24 hours so they are just sprouting, fried and heavily salted.

A blue cheese and apple sandwich, not sure if you can eat blue cheese when pregnant but swap it out for another cheese.
My favourite sandwich, it's savoury and crunchy 😋
