What snack can you not get enough of?

Serious willpower fail. Ate very nearly a whole pack of cheddars. They are just so addictive! My willpower always caves when confronted with:

cheddars
cashew nuts
pringles
malteesers
grapes

… what are your vices?!

Mini poppadoms and lime pickle/mango chutney. Also, Aldi's rosemary and salt flatbreads with garlic creamcheese, drool.

mini poppasoms! Mmmmm

once I was lugging salsa and cheese Doritos home and speaking to my best friend who was with me about hangover cure (they’re mine) and she was explaining that the sweet and salty help in some way. I wish she hadn’t explained how it cured it.

Beef mini chips and Sainsburys sour watermelon sweets. Together.

These! Try em. With a nice glass of G&T in the garden. Happy days!

Mmmm 💚 lime pickle!

We have a Gujarati sweet shop near us.

Pani Puri and aloo papdi chaat. I've tried to make both at home and they're just not the same.

Nothing comes close to the hit you get off these!

Any cooked smoked sausage. I have to avoid that section of Lidl.

Not sure if it counts as smoked sausage but I attended a works do at Munich Cricket Club where naturally you could order food. Had bratwurst, sauerkraut and potato salad, didn’t hear the server say it came with potato salad just heard salad so ordered chips with Mayo too. Mmm. Soaked up my German happy hour cocktails nicely though!

I used to like Kit Kats and walkers ready salted crisps together.

@MWNA They are indeed incredible! I can eat a whole bag without any effort at all. Though they owe a nod to Nik Naks

Museya15 · 07/07/2023 07:07

Bacon fries!

GreenhouseGarden · 07/07/2023 07:10

Crunchy wotsits - absolutely should no have discovered them.

unhappysparkle · 07/07/2023 07:14

Cheese tuc sandwich biscuits
Orange kitkats
The massive bars of cadburys milk choc

Frozen grapes. Occasionally I will mix it up with frozen raspberries/pineapple/blueberries.

I tell myself it's better than chocolate and I'm sure it is, nutrition-wise. However I'm eating at least one 500g punnet a day, sometimes more, with the other fruit on top of that, so the calorie content is probably equivalent to two or three normal chocolate bars 😬

Also Graze smoky barbecue crunch - I get the big bags with the intention of just having a handful a day but they're often nearly all gone by the time we've driven back from Tesco 😅

SerenChocolateMuncher · 07/07/2023 07:21

Mine is a drink rather than a snack. I am addicted to the vending machine milkshake from our local dairy farm. I bought a litre bottle of it yesterday intending to make it last 2-3 days. It didn't survive the journey home... 😋

MinnieMountain · 07/07/2023 07:25

This is why I want to take DS to Munich @GonnaGetGoingReturns . I lived in Germany for a year and loved the food.

SallyWD · 07/07/2023 07:33

I can usually eat in moderation but not when it comes to Bombay Mix. I just can't stop!!

Oh wow, I definitely need to investigate the giant and crunchy wotsits.

I’ve thought of another: those little chocolate thins, in the shape of Pringles. They sell them in Lidl, and Cadbury did a version years ago called Snaps. Forgotten what the Lidl ones are called, probably because I barely so much as glance at the packet before they’re devoured.

Yirk · 07/07/2023 07:36

Orange twirls
Most biscuits especially m/s stem ginger ones.
Mint humbugs

SquirrelFan · 07/07/2023 07:36

-Those expensive paprika crisps - they come in truffle flavour, too, but I overdosed on them once and they no longer have power over me.
-As pp said, bacon fries.
-Ryvitas spread with cream cheese and sprinkled with Everything But the Bagel seasoning - I can easily eat six of these in a sitting.
-Padron peppers are delicious, but their smell attracts other humans in the house, so they lack the binge-y, private quality of other snacks!

Anyone try kabanos? Got it in the Polish section in Tesco, absolutely addictive.

Oh this reminded me , Polish pretzels are amazing and about 90p a bag I had to stop buying them just hoovered them .

Tayto cheese & onion crisps in the yellow bag. I would literally sell my soul for a case of these.

Spot the Nordie 😁
