Evening snack of choice

fussyonion

What's your current favourite snack to munch while you watch telly/relax in the evening?

I'm currently scoffing sour cream n onion pretzels and wondering why they're so addictive

Leg End Reject

Always savoury, crisps or nuts.

Montage of Feck

Nuts or breakfast cereal out of the box.

Purple Mountain

Crackers and hummus

Masala

Am on a diet…… so some sort of cardboard tasting round rice cakes the wife has me on!!

No sugar, No Calories, No Additives…… NO GOOD!!

Strumms

Cadburys mini rolls.. gone mad expensive but alas, me and three of those sat down to watch evening TV with a nice drink, perfect. Loved them for years and years.

I'm not much of a snacker, but some boardie posted a delicious recipe for spiced seed mix, will search for the poster later when I'm at home, for the appreciation.

I added smoked paprika.

Oh no... That's not food! Try some cucumber with ponzu sauce.

Why do they make them round? At least if they were square you could build a house or something useful out of them?

I see sheep

Calomile tea

PTH2009

Ice lolly like a Twister or Calipo

Really hope Lidl bring back there version of the Calipo

It can vary but usually involves a cup of tea and then anything from a custard slice or chocolate eclair to an apple pastry or just two chocolate biscuits. Occasionally a heel of a batch loaf but only if really fresh. Could probably do without the evening snack but there's something satisfying about finishing the jobs for the day and parking yourself on the couch, switching on tv or xbox and having a treat.

I love granola and eat it as a snack

You've given me a craving for a twister now. I make my own Pepsi Callipos.

If money is no object black olives and camembert. If money is tight, or I'm dieting, cucumber batons dipped in hummus and Tabasco.

EmmetSpiceland

Brown bread with jam and tea.

I don’t go in for eating chocolate, or sweets, in the evening and am reminded of the old adage “it’s not a treat if you have it every day”.

Day Lewin

Glass of red wine with a few salty nuts.

In fairness, you could always use them as frisbees or even stack them up and smash them with a sledgehammer.

iamstop

Garlic toast, cheese toastie or a small bowl of popcorn*.

*lightly salted

Archeron

Bowl of rice crispies with sultanas mixed in. (they always sink, so guaranteed a fruity end to your snack)

Lidl has these pickled onions Barlote or something they are sweet and in a balsamic vinegar they are addictive.

I love Bombay mix, and the various namkeen as I think they are called, but the ones I got from the Indian stores tend to be disappointingly soft rather than crunchy, although the spicing was quite good.

bassy

venison sandwich with salt and mustard and chilled bottle of water.

Now, that's an interesting and very specific style of evening snack. 👍️

Vita nova

Ginger nut biscuits or fig rolls and tea.

Oh yum, I haven't had those since I was a kid (no sweet tooth on me now), but I loved fig rolls. The ginger nut, I thought were too hard, but dunk them in tea and you basically have an Indian chai, so comforting. 😋

YellowLead

Savoury - Blue cheese, black olives and Parma ham on beetroot sourdough crackers.

Sweet - Mint magnum.

I just get mine in Dunnes.

I know it’s sacrilege, but sometimes I fry it up in the pan with an egg and have with a crusty roll

PP Lee

Strawberry or honey yoghurt with blueberries and seeds mixed in. I always leave a little at the end of the bowl for my Jack Russell to lick afterwards.

Beer Mix out of Dunnes. I really shouldn’t in my ‘60’s but God, the stuff is addictive.

Pretzels and vintage cheddar.

Food of the gods! 😁😁

Breadsticks with red pesto or red pepper relish is divine.
