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

I really have to watch myself with savoury things in the house.
I can leave chocolate until it's out of date, but the rustle of a crisp packet is music to my ears.

I love cheeselets as well MissA but can only get them at Christmas.

Pipers crisps, wonderful flavours. You can also get non salted ones, my favourites as don’t like too much salt on savoury snacks. Cashew nuts. Can’t stand Pringles, take the roof of your mouth off.

Lidl used to sell peanut flavour things which were the exact texture of wotsits (my predictive text wrote wetsuits!)
They were my favourite savoury snack of all time!!!

MissAdventure Wed 23-Feb-22 08:41:25

Peanuts, cheeselets, hummous and breadsticks.
Sweet chilli crisps, tortilla chips, cream crackers; I love savoury snacks!!

Cashew nuts, peanuts or a pepperoni stick for me.

I second Seabrook crisps. But prawn cocktail for me.

My DH worked for a famous snack company and came home with an assorted bag every Friday. Our DC were the most popular in the neighbourhood! We never touch then now. Maybe too much of a good thing!

Cheese and onion or beef crisps.

The beautiful plain crisps in a clear bag from French supermarkets.
There is nothing in the UK anywhere near as good.
When in Ireland “ Tayto” crisps are a favourite.

Cashew nuts. I bought them in Lidl for years but the quality has changed lately. Also Brazil nuts.

Grandmabatty Wed 23-Feb-22 07:30:14

Tortilla crisps with a hint of lime do it for me. I no longer buy them as I could eat the whole pack in one go.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 23-Feb-22 07:26:42

I loved those Scampi fries too Fanny I’m not sure you can still buy them.
My current favourites are from M&S small cheese biscuits in a couple of different flavours. Gorgeous and go down a treat with a glass of vino ?

NannyJan53 Wed 23-Feb-22 07:25:32

Seabrook crisps , plain only.

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Feb-22 07:24:02

I certainly will Gnw!

Grannynannywanny Wed 23-Feb-22 07:21:16

My favourite are ready salted crisps. Walkers or Golden Wonder. Or for a rather tasty but naughty snack I save for a special treat.. a plate of Doritos sprinkled generously with grated cheese and black pepper and placed in the microwave for a minute or so. Then a dip of choice on the side. I recommend trying it if you haven’t already.

TillyTrotter Wed 23-Feb-22 07:17:11

Tortilla chips and Tesco’s fresh onion + garlic dip.
(Other dips like M&S’s aren’t so good for dipping as too sloppy. Tesco’s is just right).

tanith Wed 23-Feb-22 07:12:36

Mixed unsalted nuts for me with the occasional bag of cheese and onion crisps.

BBbevan Wed 23-Feb-22 07:08:03

I eat lots of almonds and other nuts. Crisps very occasionally. I buy the pea and bean sticks from ‘Eaten Path’ Not quite the same as a bag of Smiths crisps but o.k.

Sardinia2020 Wed 23-Feb-22 06:52:01

Tyrrells ready salted crisps or salted almonds- the flat type that are hard to find. Think they’re called Marcona almonds. Delicious.

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Feb-22 06:51:39

Cashews are the food of the Gods kitty

kittylester Wed 23-Feb-22 06:48:16

Honey roasted cashews. Or are they sweet?

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Feb-22 06:45:51

Pringles really are evil.
They were spot on with ‘Once you pop, you can’t stop’.
I have to stop myself from buying them for this reason - especially when they are paired with hummus

BlueBelle Wed 23-Feb-22 06:45:24

Twiglets and salt and black pepper oven cooked crisps

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Feb-22 06:43:55

M and S cheese crispies
