I'm contemplating going to the shop to fulfil my snack desires. I'm supposed to be attempting to lose 7lbs. So torn right now.

Wispa bites
Hunky Dorys
Tayto cheese and onion
Little bun things that the daddy buys
Milka chocolate
Ben and Jerry's ice-cream.
Samitches
Cheese strings

It's hard to be good in the face of such wow.

I'll have to try that I was doing all sorts of fuckery with flour when following other recipes, heart breaking stuff when they turn out ****e

The secret to the crispy skin and moist interior is the double cook. The "intermission" period brings moisture back to the surface that "pops" the skin when you put them back into the hot oil, like great crackling. This cannot happen if the wings are floured. Cooking them in two short goes instead of one long one also keeps the inside moister. Trust me on this. I am a fanatic.

Also, if you are game, feel free to add your own hot sauces. I am a particular fan of naga jolokia (the flavor, once you get past the heat, is fruity and complex and altogether delicious). Do not rub your eyes until after you've scrubbed your hands with washing up liquid. Trust me on this too.

(Edit: If you cannot find the Huy Fong Sriracha, the Tesco Sriracha is, believe it or not, a decent substitute. I don't like that Flying Goose stuff.)

I do a similar two step cook with chips and definitely have found it's the best way of getting the outside to be really crispy, so I'll definitely do that for the wings. I'll have to look up a few of the not-so-hot hot sauces, I'm grand up to the habaneros and scotch bonnet level of heat but any of the super hot chillis I can't handle yet.

Kinder Bon Bon things - yum

tails_naf · 08-05-2016 09:20PM

I'm very partial to fizzy cola bottles. Many brands are muck (I'm looking at yiu treco), but the dominion brand in aldi are lovely. They do the best pink and blue fizzy cola bottles too. Eating a bag of those has to be terrible for you!

Aineoil · 08-05-2016 09:23PM

Digestive biscuits with strawberry yogurt - delicious.

Summer wind · 08-05-2016 09:27PM

Salt and vinegar hunky Dorys. Any chocolate that I can dip in my tea such as kitkats or Yorkie.

Oh no..Toobz Sour Cream and Onion are bloody gorgeous in their own right.
Not like Pringles but equally as delicious.

Lidl milk chocolate with hazelnuts. Once opened it will be devoured.

The Fin Carré stuff by any chance? I've just demolished a full 100g bar of the milk chocolate and its highly possible I'll finish the last bar in the house yet tonight. Never left Lidl without 4 or 5 bars of it. I think i might have diabetes!

mud · 09-05-2016 12:20AM

Keogh's crisps (any flavour but s&v are outstanding).

Kinder Country bars now called Kinder Cereal I think?

S&V peanuts.

Homemade Banoffee.

Peanut and Cookie M&Ms mixed up together.

Popcorn and Maltesers mixed up together.

That's the one. It has to be the whole hazelnut ones though. And I thought I was bad getting two bars every time!

Wagon wheels , cream pies and macaroons. I'm very retro of late ðŸ˜Š

maudgonner · 09-05-2016 11:38PM

Crisps - be they Tayto, King, shop's own brand, Pringles, whatever.
Peanuts, salted or dry roasted. Lidl's salted ones are my favourite.
Aldi's Jelly babies.

I was working on a job that involved schoolkids and we had tubs of these sweets to give to them - stringy rope things with sherbet in the middle. Holy crap, we all got addicted. You could feel the chemicals in them making you crazy, but it was impossible to stop eating them until you felt sick. They're pure evil. Luckily we decided not to subject the kids to their nastiness, and selflessly ate them all ourselves

And when I'm in the mood for baking I'll make these maple pecan sticky buns. They're basically sugar, butter and maple syrup, with a bit of bread to make you feel less guilty. They're savage.

Awesome. Where do you buy pecans these days without taking out a second mortgage?

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

Hahah too familiar with that

Lidl, the wondrous land of Lidl. Although apparently they haven't had stock for a while there.

Guilty confession time

I had a yen on me once for them and had everything except the pecans, couldn't be bothered going to town to buy them. You don't need that many, so I fished them out of my maple & pecan breakfast cereal

Ha, I have been that desperate before, can't blame you. Yeah, Lidl was the last place I bought them and I have not seen them since. Next time they ask me, "is there anything you miss from living in Texas" (where they grow pecans), I will have something to say besides "good Korean restaurants" and "what I was getting paid when I had a job in the oil industry", lol.
