I'm curious... What's your favorite thing to snack on?

[conuly]

BESIDES packaged stuffs, and nothing too complicated.

Me, I like frozen grapes. *munches on some* Not red grapes, which I inexplicably find the ickiest things on this earth, and yes that includes mushrooms, but green grapes, which are the greatest gift of all to humankind... especially when frozen

_{Tangent, what nutzoid first had the bright idea of eating the juice of rotten grapes? Was it some sort of bet or something?}

I also, of course, love toast with butter and pepper. Not ANY toast, health nut bread.

Oh! And english muffins, covered with cream cheese and stuck in the broiler until the top of the cheese is browned.

But man, nothing beats my frozen grapes.

Must try frozen green grapes. I like the green ones but not the red ones too.

I would probably go for a fruit salad with melon, berries and stone fruit in. And eat it with a fork. Unfortunately chocolate seems to lure me - it's cheaper and more convenient.

I'm big on the finger foods. Or eating alone so I can eat sans silverware...

But anyway.

Ever try a watermelon tomato salad?

I keep wanting to make that and then forgetting. And now watermelons aren't in season.

*sigh* It's for the best, bluecheese, though I love it so, gives me serious digestive problems.

Course, there's always this recipe....

Oh yeah. What's a stone fruit?

[goddess588.livejournal.com]

I think I knew that about you liking to eat with your fingers. I hate mine getting sticky, especially when I'm trying to read.

I've tried watermelon in ginger wine, but never melon and tomato. They sound like they'd work though.

Stone fruit are peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums (which I don't like unless they're 'black doris' - the purple ones). Fruit with a stone in it. Though you prolly call it a pit?

[conuly]

Yeah, I do, but I know what "stone" means in that context. I would've gotten it the first time, but I thought "stone fruit" meant a specific fruit, possibly one with a hard texture.

Snacks, eh? English muffins are good. In fact, I think I'll go fix some after I post this. I like mine with plain butter.

Salted crackers are also quite good, along with chips and salsa. Now I'm really hungry.

If I'm really feeling snacky, I'll fix myself some cup noodles. But I don't know if that qualifies as packaged.

[conuly]

It doesn't if you add stuff to it. If you don't, it's packaged. By stuff, I mean beyond what the packaging calls for.

If I make mac and cheese by the rules on the box, that's packaged. If I add pepper, I'm getting closer. If I add blue cheese and mozzarella... mmmmm. Oh, and cream cheese, must have that in all mac and cheese products. There's a reason my mac and cheese is called "instant heart attack".

I suppose adding hot water won't count then. Righto. XP

Toast. Toast with pepper and butter (s'very good, thanks for telling me about it!), toast with avocado, toast with cinnamon and sugar, toast with jam, toast with cheese, toast with peanut butter... toast is just all around yummy. But I bet you knew I'd say that.

I also like popcorn. It's my second favourite food in the entire world. Popcorn with butter and parmesean and brewer's yeast is the best.

Sesame snack sticks are good for munching on, and I like crackers, and sometimes beef jerky... but only a specific brand and flavour, everything else is icky. Oddly enough, my cat likes it too, but also only one brand and flavour. This is odd because she is incredibly picky. She only likes catfood, dorito dust (she'll lick it off of doritos -- it makes my brother very mad), and beef jerky.

Now I'm hungry, but if I try to make anything I bet I'll wake my parents up and get scolded for still being awake.

Frozen grapes.. now that sounds interesting.

On the toast tangent, I really like a bastardized version of something I had in Italy. Take two slices of bread (I like potato bread, personally) and lightly toast it, smear on some spaghetti sauce of choice (not too much), and sandwich two thick slices of fresh mozerella between the bread. It's simple, easy and quick to make, and very yummy.

Feh, now I want one.

Frozen grapes sound good, i'll have to try em sometime.
I have always liked frozen bananas, esspecially if you cover them with chocolate and nuts, but even w/o toppings I like them.

[squittycat.livejournal.com]

Nuts. Unless that counts as packaged.

[conuly]

Nope, you can always get 'em off a tree. Though it'd be nice if you DID SOMETHING to those nuts, that'd fit my question a bit better. Like, um... Do you crack 'em yourself?
