    What's your current snack food addictions?

    I'm currently obsessed with nougat bars and those vanilla milkshake flavoured yazoo drinks. Fook but they are delicious.

    And you even start to feel a bit guilty as you get rid of the second empty tube, and open the third...

    Buffalo wings. Curse the day I learned to make them... and the blue cheese dip. Well, no, I take that back. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,677 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen

    Roll them in flour then deep fry them for 10mins. Toss in a mix of Franks hot wing sauce and melted unsalted butter.
    Job done

    Crisps.
    Been buying Pringles every weekend and eating the entire tube so I'm putting a stop to that because the initial enjoyment is replaced by a very dry tongue and feeling sick.

    Tesco Dry Roasted Peanuts are another one; can't buy them 'cos I'll eat the lot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,500 ✭✭✭Yester


    Eridanous Peanut bites from lidl.
    The ingredients are:68% peanuts, glucose syrup, Sugar, Honey.

    Very nice (a bit sweet)

    They sell a 400g bag which costs waaaay less than smaller bags made by order brands. :D

    Those walkers spicy mix ups.

    Pringles too, love the salt and vinegar ones. Sometimes you get ones so vinegary they burn your lips and tongue. Love that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,660 ✭✭✭armaghlad


    Chocolate. All of it.

    Tesco Finest cookies are my main weakness nowadays. I'll eat all 4 in about a minute or two.

    Also jaffa cakes. I'd eat a whole packet in no time.

    Giant buttons, the big bags. They won't last long around me.

    Cinnamon swirls. Yeah they're just to easy to squeeze into my mouth...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    Chilli Doritos. I'm a danger to myself around a bag of those.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,221 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Bistro crisps - salt and vinegar. Cant beat them

    Flour on buffalo wings? No. Here's the recipe I've developed and tested and the one I go by every time:

    WINGS:
    24 wing pieces (12 wings cut in 3 bits, discard the tips)
    1/2 cup (125 ml) Frank's Red Hot sauce (not the kind for wings)
    1/3 cup (80 ml) Huy Fong Sriracha sauce
    1/3 cup (80 ml) melted butter
    1/2 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder

    Pat wing pieces dry with paper towels. Bake at 275 (135) degrees for 30 minutes, until the meat is mostly cooked and the skin is still fairly pale. Heat the fryer oil to 375 (190) degrees and fry the wings in two batches, flat pieces and drumstick pieces separately, until the skin is nicely browned and crispy, about 10-13 minutes per batch. While the wings are cooking, mix the sauces, butter, and garlic in a large mixing bowl and set aside. As soon as the first batch is done, drain the excess oil and dump the wings into the sauce bowl. Toss to coat. With tongs, remove the wings from the sauce to an ovenproof dish and set the dish in the oven to keep warm while you fry and coat the second batch. Toss the batches together and serve while hot with cold blue cheese dip.

    (Alternatively, you can pre-fry the wings until half-cooked, leave for 5-10 minutes, then re-fry in the reheated oil.)

    BLUE CHEESE DIP:
    4 ounces (125 g) Roquefort or creamy blue cheese, at room temperature
    1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy mayonnaise
    1 tsp (5 ml) fresh coarse-ground black pepper
    1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
    1 tsp (5 ml) balsamic vinegar (white if you have it)
    A few spoonfuls heavy cream (whipping cream)

    Mash the Roquefort in a small mixing bowl until well crumbled. Mix in the mayo, pepper, garlic, and vinegar. Loosen to dip consistency with a little cream. Refrigerate until needed.
