When you just have to have a little snack,what kind of thing do you fancy?A slice of well buttered toast, a few crackers with some cheese, a packet of crisps, a bowl of cereal,an apple, slice of cake etc.Are you a sweet or a savoury kind of person?I try not to snack at all, but now and then need a slice of cheese on toast, do you call that grilled cheese in the U.S?I usually find I am thinking of a snack late at night.Perhaps I should go to bed earlier!;)
 

Two scoops of dark chocolate ice cream with a generous tablespoon of dark chocolate syrup on top....about an hour after supper. If we're staying overnight at the casino, a slice of chocolate cream pie, with a couple of chocolate chip cookies on the side, for desert. I guess you could say that I'm a Chocoholic.
 

these days its crackers and cheese, or if I want sweet, crackers with jam and cheese. quite good and lowish cal.
 
savory:
handful of Doritos or
big soft pretzel or
bratwurst/frankfurter w/mustard or
Slice of.leftover pizza

Sweet
Small bowl of ice cream

Whatever I can find. Usually cauliflower in garlic dip, toast with cinnamon, sugar mix on butter, Banana, avocado or an orange.
I just remembered that during summer we take a watermelon and cut it into bite size pieces which we put in the fridge, you get up wanting a cool treat, grab a fork and have a couple pieces, back to bed feeling great.
 
Rye toast with peanut butter or avocado, any kind of fruit except mangoes, or anything chocolate

Those are the kind I used to really like, from street vendors, haven't had pretzels in years.

Accch I really don't like pretzels.. surprised you haven't ever seen them Oakapple.. :)


I think overall my favourite snack (other than dark chocolate ) would be Tomato and Herb Ryvita Thins dipped spread with Taramasalata, yuuummmyyyy....
 
Mmmmmm.....pretzels dipped in a honey-spicy mustard mix. My mouth is watering. Note to self: put pretzels on the shopping list.

In olden days pretzels were made to be a Lenten treat, since they were made without animal fats, butter or leavening. Lent back then was a pretty grim affair, so any treats you could come up with would have been welcome.
 
Thanks folks for the pics of pretzels, I must say they look yummy.
HollyDolly, you live in London where there are all kinds of different foods, but out here in the sticks, pretzels are not something you see!;)
 
Well after reading all this, I want a snack. I keep a jar of peanut butter on my kitchen counter for just this reason! A nice heaping teaspoon of it will satisfy for a while. :)
