A-Z Of Snacks

[sixpence]

I think of all chocolate Kit Kat is my favourite - the original one still the best imo though they did a honeycomb one which I also liked.

Sad to say I like the chunky Kit Kats best!!

O - oranges. I buy the little ones - satsumas, clementines, tangerines simply because they are easier to peel and less messy to eat.

P - POTATO CRISPS ...Many varieties and brands are available. Originally just "Plain crisps", then later "Chesee and Onion", followed by "Salt 'n' vinegar", "Smoky Bacon", etc.

I seem to remember the original ones had a little blue paper wrap of salt in the packet.

Q - Quavers. Cheese flavoured curly twists made from potato starch and flour. Came in a yellow bag. Haven't tried these for years.

R RAISINS - if you keep then handy you can grab a handful whenever you fancy some. My friend is diabetic and she used to carry the little boxes around with her.

Mike, I have just made a portion of falafel mixture. Followed recipe in Eating Bird Food blog but added a small can of sweetcorn which I had to hand. In fridge now and will bake (I know deep frying is the classic approach) for tea to eat with some tandoori pork bellies I have just put in the marinade.
Still like a Kit Kat btw.

Well, the falafels were OK but I think I added a little too much olive oil and the mix was a bit gooey. Tasted nice. That said it was quite a bit of bother so I'm going to try the Aldi Morrocan style falafels and see what they are like.

Not heard of them but they sound nice!

V VIENNESE WHIRLS - something you can keep in the biscuit tin and dip into when you feel like it.

W. Wham bar. Used to have them as a kid. Wouldn't now. I need a root canal treated tooth to last me for as long as possible.

Never tried these, Craig. I gave up Thornton's toffee for similar reasons.

Even give me on things that say sugar free. You cannot trust them.
The tooth in question for me.(I think they call it a fang one). Far too near the front. You have to stand your brush up properly to clean it. I didn't do it well enough.

X XTRA CARE GUM - was supposed to give you 30% less cavities but it's no longer sold. (Bet it didn't work).

Yes, I remember this. Trident made it.

Y - Yoghurt. I buy the Aldi Greek stuff and have it every day with blueberries and nuts. My waistline seems to have expanded but that may be the beer and wine.

I think you ar right, Lindum, though I wouldn't have remembered.
