Snacks / treats
 
I got to thinking, what do people like to snack on during the day or as a treat to themselves ;)
I like / love Biltong, Biltong is a South African snack that is basically dried meat ( raw ) that has been spiced and flavoured, it has many forms and flavours and can be made from a variety of meats from beef to :erm: horse :shrug: don't ask. You can buy it over here but not a lot of places sell it, well worth a try if you get the chance IMHO.

So what do others like, and where do you get it from ??

South African raw horse meat eh? And that is safe? Gawd knows about healthy.

I tend to snack on apples and yoghurt these days (I am trying to lose weight, stop laughing), but in another life I used to pig out on loads and loads of crisps. Sometimes pringles and popcorn, with eccles cakes for treats.

In the summer Galaxy ice cream, muffins, nectarines, strawberries and cherries.

Bobdude, where do you get those things (hubby likes beef jerky, pork scratchings and spicy food generally)? We can get genuine south african sausages but they are best barbecued. http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Thanx.gif

Grapes and Strawberries are lovely in the summer or if I'm peckish, a toasted cheese and tomato toastie.

nuts - pistachios & 'monkey' nuts, specifically. The peanuts I get roasted in the shell, now, in an attempt to reduce my salt intake.

- shelling nuts is a good way to keep your hands busy when trying not to smoke, as well - well it works for me ;)

Bananas, I can't get enough of them, ever since giving up the fags I eat around 1-2lb of them a day, it's probably very unhealthy eating that amount but I can't help myself.

My favourite snack is 'sexual chocolate'. Read and observe.

Get a cup of tea and a penguin biscuit. Bite off opposing corners of the penguin and dip one of the munched-off corners in to the tea and use the other end to suck the tea up - don't worry, it'll be cooler by the time it reaches your lips, so in essence you're using the penguin like a straw.

Once you feel the tea in your mouth quickly stuff the whole penguin in to your mouth at once.

I know that sound a bit of a potch but honestly - try it. I won't describe it here but something will happen in your mouth which can only be described as 'sexual chocolate'!! :D

Would take more than that to be 'sexual chocolate' for me https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2005/10/5.gif https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2005/10/15.gif

To many of them can stop you going to the toilet, insted of a banana try a apple or some melon.

I love cashew nuts. I could eat them all day, they are so nice.
I sometimes buy some mixed nuts and dried fruit which is quite nice.

I've always heard you shouldnt eat more than 2 per day as they can make you feel heavy and sometimes ill.

Left over cold chinese takeaway is always nice.

A fruit salad thats easily made with a few passion fruits, oranges, bannana, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, whatever fruits you have, is lovely in hot weather.

I snack on anything what ever time of the day, it just depends on what mood I am in to what snack I have. At work I have a draw full of 10p chocolate bars etc.
