Sriracha

PBJ sandwich is often a go-to. If I’m feeling like indulging myself it’s Doritos Flamin Hot Limon chips. I’ll crush a bag of those in no time so I try not to get them often.

Mary's Gone Crackers (I've sometimes gone through multiple boxes a day)
Hu grain-free crackers (these are expensive as hell, so I try to ration them. So good though)
raw almonds (I go crazy on these)
apples (that counts right? I cut them in chunks and eat out of a bowl)
cereal

Nuts.

Peanuts, pistachios, cashews, almonds. Best snack ever.

Except maybe Dorittos, my kryptonite.

In shot glasses?

Carrot sticks and hummus

unsalted/butter fresh popcorn

Kumquats ( I have 3 tree's)

@egg I haven't tried the Hu crackers, but I just had earlier today the Mary's Gone Crackers olive oil + cracked black pepper thin crackers (they're rectangular). Very peppery. Pretty good.

Are Kumquats the fruit that looks like miniature oranges?

Do you like peanuts as much as the others? You know when a can says "less than 50 percent peanuts," and the ratio is like 49/51?

Overall, I'd rank peanuts lowest of the group (with the exception that the pistachios and almonds are properly flavored). Yet I love them equally. I just left the browns game and absolutely enjoyed the F out of a big ol bag of peanuts. Peanuts work so well with beer; whereas the rest better pair with spirits and wine.

What about macadamias, pecans, and Brazil nuts? Fan of those?

And on a peanut note, do you like spicy things? If yes, I'd say try these if you can find them:

Yes. You eat the entire fruit like you would a grape.

I love these as well and it's quite easy to kill a box in a few minutes.


I used to eat a lot of raw almonds, but now I eat more raw walnuts, pecans, and cashews.

Since the suffix "ito" in Spanish means "small", the existence of a Dorito implies the existence of a larger Doro chip.

I get those at least once a month. I love 'em.

I've only had them a couple of times but they're pretty great.

Amazing that you have 3 kumquat trees. Would you be willing to post a picture of the trees? I'm curious to see them.

:) Ha! I appreciated that.

I have no clue how they get the peanuts to be spicy and also coated, but inside the shell. No idea.

Any ideas?

@Staraang What kind of PB and what kind of J on the sandwich? (Unsweetened PB vs sweetened, grape J, strawberry J, blueberry J, etc)

Chester's hot fries. Not that crappy Andy Capp nonsense.

I do organic creamy unsweetened Smuckers PB. I put a good bit of that on whole wheat bread and then just a thin layer of Bonne Maman strawberry jelly. I try to limit my sugar intake so very little jelly.

Staraang wrote:
Totally with you on the Smuckers creamy unsweetened. It requires stirring, but it's worth it.

As for Bonne Maman, I don't know if I have or haven't tried that jelly. But I do have a jar of Bonne Maman red fruits spread in the cabinet. I wonder how that would go as a PBJ.

I have no clue. Maybe they soak them in some spicy water or something like that. I guess it penetrates the shell and seasons the nuts.

Yeah years ago when I first tried it it took some getting used to since I had eaten sweetened PB before but now I love it. Stirring is a minor hassle. It does get hard to spread after a while but I’ve found warning it up in the microwave for a bit softens it right up.


Probably worth at least trying. I’m not convinced Bonne Maman is the greatest jelly in the world but probably better than most of the generic processed stuff. My kids like it though so I go with it since I eat only a little anyway.

@Staraang I just opened up the Red Fruits spread and tried it with PB on crackers. Pretty good. As a bonus, I got what was either a whole cherry or maybe a currant as I was taking some from the jar. :)

This spread has a nice mild tartness.

Yeah I do like the fruit bits in it. The strawberry jelly has chunks of strawberry in it too.

Pretzels, cheese puffs, and dark chocolate. Also beef jerky.

Triscuit Thin Crisps

Ketchup Chips. I have a wet cloth around me so the controller does not get dirty.. I keep my stuff super clean.

I used to like coffee crisps, but have moved on. I like a good fresh Eatmore every so often. Crunch bars used to be a goto also but I have no idea what they did to them as they taste like poison... Complete and utter garbage.


*Goldfish... Just something about em

How dark of a chocolate? Do you like super dark, like 85+ percent cocoa content, or much sweeter?

Triscuits are super flavorful. I don't know what they do to give it such flavor.

@Finn What are coffee crisps?

Coffee Crisp is a chocolate bar made in Canada. It consists of alternating layers of vanilla wafer and a foamed coffee-flavoured soft candy, covered with a milk chocolate outer layer. Originally launched by British company Rowntree's, it is currently owned and commercialized by Nestlé.

I totally used to eat these but stopped buying them after watching a yt video about vegetable oils. I literally took all the unopened Triscuit boxes I had and left them out on the sidewalk.

nonamesleft wrote:

I like all the dark chocolate but I prefer the stuff on the darker side maybe 75-85%, up to 90%. Anything after that and it stops being enjoyable. My brother just got a bar of 100% dark chocolate, some fancy stuff the other day and it was like just eating straight up cocoa, not pleasant at all. Anything higher than 90 is just too dark for me.

Finn wrote:
Interesting. Haven't heard of it. You mentioned the taste of crunch bars changing. In what way?

@BioHazardMan Any particular favorites that you go for in that 75-90% range?

I bought a bar of 100% once. Tasted extremely rich, almost like muenster cheese. But zero sweetness.

Someone once bought me a 101% bar, I'd say mostly for the humor. It was 100% + had cacao nibs in it, so the company called it 101%. It wasn't bad.

I know. I don't know whats in them exactly as I've never read the box. But I can eat an entire box in one sitting if I'm not careful. They must not be a healthy option anymore. Because they taste too damn good.

That's for the plain ones. The flavored ones have other ingredients. They're so full of flavor, I don't know how the company does it.

And not just the thins. The regular ones too.
