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

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.
🍸 🍸 🍸

I absolutely agree with you.
Does anyone remember the little garlic bread snacks?think they were from spar/costcutter or something years back?

Crisps, especially festive ones, last year Lidl did lobster cocktail which were lush
Bombay mix
Cheesy footballs
Mini cheddars
Party mix
Pretzels (if you can get to an eastern European supermarket theirs are better than the mainstream ones especially the bacon ones)
Twiglets

Forget about the sweet stuff

These things are impossible to stop eating!

I've recently discovered Cheeselets. They're fabulous and almost too cheesy, if t'were possible.

Ohh like the Phileas Fogg Mignons Morceaux
they were delicious

I dont take any responsibility if anyone buys these

Mini gherkins, cured meats, leftover cold cuts with chutney, cheese and biscuits, sausage rolls, peanuts, party food bits like chicken goujons, mozzarella sticks

I like those salted broad beans - hard to find though.

Cheese and crackers- I recently discovered the Castello soft cheese with pineapple and it’s absolutely delicious.

We buy these, I think they do a plain salted one too, dont be put off by the lack of pictures

Yes maybe something from this list 😃

Pretzels but polish ones they are the tastiest the others are a bit sweet which I'm not into. Cheese twists or variant flavours of with a bucket of dip.

I'm not a sweet person but LOVE cheese, decent crackers, dips. All year round, not just Xmas
Once a week I do a cheeseboard..this company do the best crackers. www.finecheese.co.uk/lemon-sea-salt-and-extra-virgin-olive-oil-crackers

Tesco do some salt and pepper broad beans - lush

If I eat crisps, cheese, nuts or peanut butter I'm giving myself a night of full on heartburn
But maybe those salt'n'vinegar twirls ? I can only eat a few or they hurt the inside of my mouth.

Pistachio nuts would be my choice 100% and cope with the heartburn !

No.

These.

Ooooh I'm definitely more of a savoury person!

Marmite on toast
Celery and hummus
Toasted Crumpets with melted cheese
Cheese crackers and chutney
Soup in a mug
M&S truffle crisps

Home made pita chips, split your pita, cut into thin sticks, spray with oil, season (rock salt, garlic granules, paprika, chilli - what ever you like really. Bake until really crisp. Delicious.
I also do similar with chickpeas (I just rinse a can of chickpeas then dry well with kitchen roll).

The sweet chilli broad beans sound good, as do the Tesco ones.

Ooo broad beans sound good, and pitta chips, brilliant idea.

DH all over the cheese. He's like Wallace and Gromit 🤣

Crudités and houmous or sour cream and chive dip.
Pretzels
Pistachios
Cheese and crackers

👏

Love the rice snack things from Lidl.
Twiglets are a must at christmas.
mini poppadoms and dips.
Cheese straws/twists
mini home made sausage rolls

Pate and cheese are my go to items at Christmas.

As no one has said it yet, cheese ;)

Cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, crackers with Marmite, Bombay mix, rice crackers. Cheese, peanut butter or Marmite on toast.

Tortilla chips and salsa - addictive

Speaking of tortilla chips:
mango salsa - mango, red onion, red pepper, red chilli, lime juice and coriander

Philadelphia, sweet chilli sauce, coriander
