Title: Tell me about all the snacking you've been doing
Post by: Sniping on Tue, 07 April 2020, 13:33:52
We love snacking. I love snacking. Being home all day compels us to snack. I made brownie bites the other day and have been working through those, and last night had a green onion pancake. Cereal at midnight. Lots more.

Got the premade steamed buns. They're great, only takes 12 minutes in the steamer.

Veggie filling of course, chives and spinach.

I've been eating potato chips daily for the first time in my life. January I was a nice 190lb leaner build. Now I'm just up to 210 and only gaining it in my stomach due to types of food + stress. Yes, stress causes you to gain weight in certain areas.

Oh yea, Chips are deluxe fattening.

I've been munching my way through a lot of Red Leicester Mini Cheddars.

See also Ice Pops for whatever reason, I bought a 100 pack of the proper full-size corner shop kind from Amazon and have eaten like 20 in the last week. I've always been big on ice.

You ever have the asian version of the ice pops? I always ate those as a kid, not sure if you've ever come across them before

The 200 sticks for $3 kind. those are delicious. They probably cause cancer though.

I have not! I've lived in the South-West of England all my life and we didn't have much in the way of Asian groceries around. Where I work, we have about 30% international students, so our on-site supermarket is extremely diverse, maybe I could convince them to source them, haha.

Edit - I did a google and if the Asian versions are usually in that tubular, split in the middle, style then one of our drink brands here, Tango, do ones in that style and they're definitely my prefered form of ice-pop delivery because they're a bit less floppy, haha.

There are other versions, some just the flat pack.  They're probably around $7-15 nowadays per bag of 100/200, They're not imported anymore, they sell'm in  latino/indian groceries as well.

I am more of a wank snacker.

I snack a lot, but instead of eating,  I am wanking.

Wank= masturbation  :thumb:

Interesting, I'll keep my eye out for them (when I can exit the house again).

These are my current go-to, proper full-size corner-shop ones.

This and the sea-salt ones are superb, been snacking on them a bunch lately. Wife has also been baking a lot, so we've had dulce de leche gooey bars, brownies, etc.

Oh and cape cod dark russet tater chips

A month or so ago, I saw that SONIC: America's Drive-In has its own brand of ice pops in Ocean Water and Cherry Limeade flavors, so I bought a box. These are the best ice pops I've ever had because no matter how cold they are, they remain slushy instead of turning into fully rigid ice. The taste is very good too (especially the Ocean Water), but the texture is a game-changer.

I don't think I've been eating much more when I look at my food log, but it certainly feels like it. I'm trying to eat through food that I've had sitting around the kitchen for a while instead of buying new stuff, so maybe the "odds and ends" type foods makes it feel like snacking. A few that come to mind are Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts, Bare Fuji & Red Apple Chips, and some Boom Chicka Pop popcorn.

I've also been trying to clear out the candy bowl a bit too, but I'm pretty tired of kit-kats, and I'm down to only the disgusting flavors of Airheads (orange and grape).

This. I want this.

I've always said that if I won a lot of money, I'd buy myself an actual Tango Ice Blast machine. Slush is my one true love.

Maybe you can get them delivered to the UK. I'm really surprised the reviews are so bad because they are amazing (They won't freeze if left bundled in the box; that's likely the problem half the reviewers are encountering):

Alas, neither of those will ship outside the US, but I'll look for alternatives or any importers, cheers for the links.
