Best, Best Savoury Snacks! ?

For me it’s maize based stuff as opposed to potato based.

Snaps, Quavers, Wotsits and the like… although I am partial to Hula Hoops…

And as mentioned on the Chocolate thread:
Scampi Fries and Cheesy Moments - available behind the bar of your local in the 90’s (do they still do them?)

So, what is your savoury snack of choice?

Thank you smile

Peanuts. I can never decide if I prefer salted or dry roasted. Bacon flavoured crisps. I never buy crisps so only eat them in someone else’s house.

The shop near me sells cathedral city baked crisp things.
They aren't kept in the crisp aisle; they're near the crackers.
5 little bags for £1 and they're deliciously strong.

Seabrook crisps , plain only.

I’m with you there. Our Sainsburys stopped doing them but I found some in The Pound Shop, only 5 packets in the bag though. Very close are Aldi ready salted Light Ridged crisps.

Seabrook crisps are wonderful. You hardly ever get a naff, burnt little shard in there, like the rubbish you get in Walkers.
And they are just the right balance of crispy and greasy. Mmm

If Walkers are Gary Lineker,
then Seabrooks are Lionel Messi

Oh, and Jane, Ocado sell them

Love the poem MissA!smile

Has anyone tried 'pops' from Aldi?
They are lower in fat, but are lovely.
Kind of swizzly on the tongue.

I have a confession ........ on a Friday evening when Mr R goes out and I have a little drink I have a snack too. Any sort of crisps except salt and vinegar but one pack is never enough so I have two. blush I don't feel too bad because there's only about five or six crisps in each bag! wink

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Feb-22 13:40:02

No offence DanniRae, but you’re a lightweight!
I’ve been known to eat six packets of Pom ? s

Hula Hoop Puffs,Walkers sensations,Sainsburys Taste the difference,Tesco`s finest but we never eat salt n vinegar.
Carr`s cheese melts with soft cheese spread and a cheese toastie.

A marmite sandwich is good with stuffed with crisps.

A whole packet of Seabrooks ready salted crisps

Yes indeed! When DD2 was a student in Glasgow, she couldn't find her favourite Seabrooks. Fortunately DH worked for a transport company round the corner from the factory and managed to get the odd box up to her. smile

I wish I didn’t love Walkers because I can’t stand Gary Lineker.

Greyduster Wed 23-Feb-22 16:47:53

I found a box of M&S Cornish Cruncher biscuits in my cupboard left over from Christmas. They were part of a hamper DD made up for us. I didn’t realise they were cheese biscuits until I tried one. They are beyond delicious. I offered one to DH who said he would “have one later”! There was no “later”. I couldn’t stop eating them!! He was disgusted. I was pretty disgusted too?!

Gongoozler Wed 23-Feb-22 16:49:37

Dry roast peanuts, hula hoops, marmite crisps (when I can find them), crisp and banana sandwich.

BlueBalou Wed 23-Feb-22 19:29:14

Scampi fries (I buy them online ?) and prawn cocktail Pringles are addictive!
Mixed salted nuts
Oat cakes with guacamole ?

Twiglets for me!

I have found my people blush

I am weak to cheese straws

Coolgran65 Thu 24-Feb-22 01:26:20

Sensations Chilli flavour. Bliss

henetha Thu 24-Feb-22 11:01:11

I love nuts, especially cashews. And toffee popcorn now and then as a treat.
Pringles are the devils work as I can't stop chomping once I open the top. They are responsible for my spare tyre!

FannyCornforth Thu 24-Feb-22 11:04:38

Thanks Greyduster I will add a box of those biscuits to my next Ocado order.
You sound like my kind of womansmile

It’s all about the carbs and salt; and then when you add cheese to the equation ?

I have an old friend who adores M&S cheese scones. From what she says it’s probably as well I don’t live near an M&S, nor do they/Ocado deliver out here in the sticks!
