Savoury evening snacks

[GettingOldWithoutStyle]

Writing this as my DH tucks into pate on toast 🤢

I'm 90% all about the chocolate but, on nights like tonight I fancy something savoury and I have NOTHING to snack on. My brain just rewound and remembered how I moaned last Christmas that I had endless tubs of chocolate, coins, panettone, cake but no savoury snacks.

DH is a crisp fiend but I don't share the same love unfortunately.

So what are your savour my snacks of choice that I can stock up on now for Christmas

Cheese and biscuits
Biscuits and cheese
Biscuits
Cheese

Or a combination of all of the above

My random savoury snack craving is blue Doritos dipped in cream cheese

Cheese footballs. Terrible things, but I love them.

Hummus, aioli, cheese and chutney. That's it for me really!

Something like this?

I could eat cheese all night every night, and I've the waistline to prove it.

More healthy, I do like hummus with sticks of carrot, celery and cucumber.

Peanuts, pistachios and cashew nuts. Also not very waist friendly but protein at least.

Salted popcorn

Bombay mix

I avoid snacking, but keep a good variety of nuts, pickled foods, canned fish in the pantry.
Tuna (Rio Mare in olive oil, for preference) with pickled gherkins is a favourite.

A big spoon of peanut butter is a good savoury hit too.

Nuts every time - especially chestnuts, cashews, pistachios, pecans and (from Lidls), caramelised almonds. twiglets, cheese straws

I love olives.

Poppadoms. And crudites with dips.

Mini sausage roll or an airfried tortilla pizza with veg

Cheesies. Baked cheese that comes in packets like crisps. I have banned myself from their website!!

Cheese savouries! Retro and a bit naff but I love them.

• Japanese rice snacks- lidl have nice ones (see pic)
• Itsu Crispy Seaweed Thins Sweet Soy & Sea Salt 5g | Sainsbury's (sainsburys.co.uk)
• Penn State Sour Cream & Chives Sharing Pretzels 175g | Sainsbury's (sainsburys.co.uk)
• Cheese and biscuits with membrillo
• I've recently re discovered cheese puffs. Most are baked, and slightly healthier than regular crisps
• Dips like houmous/cheese and chives with carrot or celery batons

I'm also currently eating pate on toast

Aldi do bags of garlic bruschetta. Sooooo good.

Asian slaw
pepperoni slices

I've never had a chestnut 🫣 wouldn't even know where to start (roast?) But I am intrigued

Love the idea of poppadoms actually, and tortillas

You need to balance the choc with savoury.

We have
crisps
nuts
loads of cheese & crackers
those savoury twist things can be cheese flavoured
savoury eggs, cocktail sausages.

Those oven baked breaded mozzarella sticks, with sweet chill dipping sauce 👌

🤣

oh yes forgot nachos & dips

Cheese
That's all

I mostly go for cheese and crackers to be honest but sometimes salted peanuts or mini poppadoms (although I dip them in mango chutney so still a bit sweet)

DD likes Ritz crackers (regular or cheese) or mini cheddars

Would mini pretzels work? Or salted popcorn?

I like to have something in to go with a pre dinner G&T or sherry, favourites include olives, 🫒🫒 cubes of cheese with celery salt, grilled calamari rings, 🦑🦑 toast fingers with Gentleman's Relish or lumpfish caviar, or tapenade or aubergine 🍆🍆 pâté.
When I'm super organised, I make up a mixture of olives, feta cheese cubes, dried tomatoes, and grilled artichokes in vinaigrette which lasts a few days.
