rubecula Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Crisps : Walkers are most common and not too bad. Golden Wonder are tongue picklers. My favourite though are Seabrook's (I love the prawn cocktail flavour) Nuts: Honey dry roasted I am partial to, but any are ok. Just never eat too many or your bowels get a workout..... allegedly Pork scratching: Great taste but my teeth just can't handle these little curly porky rocks from hell Others: Black pudding on a bar in the "Queen's" in town was ok and it was free . Pigs belly (pig tripe) in a bag from St John's market with salt and vinegar is pure heaven Any other ideas?

MikeO Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Oregano flavour "Lays" (as Walkers are known abroad) are the dog's bollocks, sadly not available over here because Brexit supporters only want roast beef flavour . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 raw almonds (unsalted) - nutritious and delicious 100%! Neighbours when I was growing up had a tree that overhhung our garden so we had a supply, really tough shells to get through but worth the effort. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 The taste of almonds is (for me) irresistible. But one ancient snack I have never tried is roast chestnuts, anyone ever tried them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 The taste of almonds is (for me) irresistible.

markjazzbassist Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 never tried "chestnuts roasting....on an open fire....jack frost....." but I'd love to. nuts are very healthy and good for you, double whammy. honestly I enjoy crusty French bread and cheese. that's probably my favorite snack of all time. Add some red wine and you got my favorite meal of all time rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as healthy as the American stuff as the chinese use quite a bit of sugar so it's sweet. http://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/bak-kwa-chinese-pork-jerky/ Edited February 23, 2017 by pete0 rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
