Food Chips and other snacks

I've never heard of those, but man, I wanna try some now.


An old favorite of mine is Ritz crackers with sharp cheddar cheese. Om nom nom. I have a hard time staying within "snack" limits on those, though, so I don't have them very often. Sargento snack sticks are a go-to, and I like plain popcorn (which I also share with my dogs on occasion.)

 

ive never herd of those. my downfall is beef jerky. I love me some jerky. I used to make venison jerky but my dehydrator broke.

 

The product development possibilities for "puffed" snack food manufactured with twin screw extruders are nearly endless. Beanitos seems to have a really nice portfolio marketed with a great graphics, but unfortunately for a scientific idealist like me, their non-GMO certification is discouraging. The rice chips are PepsiCo products, and I've noticed that this company doesn't generally make many misinformed health claims. They seem to be manufactured for Canada only, and there are other flavors on their website which I find more appealing.

 

I'm fond of tortilla chips & salsa, also the original crunchy Cheetos. When I get one of my weird munchy cravings I like the fried onions, the kind normally used for cooking.

 

Dude, I am sure you can make jerky the old fashioned way... with the sun or use a stove.

Me too Chris, chips and salsa and crunchy Cheetos. Fritos for chili

 

Terra Chips
Dang coconut pieces
Enjoy Life mega chips with dried coconut, dried fruit, and nuts
Dip-cut carrot chips
Plantain chips... The natural ones and the crazy lime-chili ones
Cassava chips
Dried fruits of all kinds

I'm always looking for paleo carbs that I can munch on between appointments and add to salads or proteins to complete my blocks for meals and snacks. I'm a crunch addict... If I don't have access to the above, I will do small amounts of Lundberg rice chips... They're the bomb. Especially the lime-chili and barbecue flavors. But they do make me feel kinda blargh if I go too far.

 

Snacks get dangerous at work, but I do try to keep at least a handful around so I don't starve before the end of my 11 hour days.

Dried mango is my kryptonite, lately.
Almonds + dried apricots
Apple chips
Fruit leather
Pita chips
Naan chips (these are not really "good" for you, but hot damn are they tasty)

 

I know this isn't really a snack but it tends to be my snack of choice.

Dark chocolate covered espresso beans.

 

Speaking of kryptonite...

 

I am big fan of peanut M&Ms.

Not a savoury snack person, but when I am, I like Salt and Vinegar chips.

 

This is a favorite in our house:


I started calling them Pea Snacks and The Destroyer always wants these...or pizza.

We also make our own nut/seed mix. (Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and some dried cranberries.) That's the Destroyer's after daycare snack.

DaddySquirrel LOVES chips. We don't buy them because they don't last long in the house if we do.

I am a Mikesells fan. Not found in Oregon, but I load up whenever I go to Ohio.



I am a sweet with salty kind of person, so this is my ULTIMATE favorite:

 

Every time I go to the movies. It's my regular.

Learned from @fresnelly.

 

Oh, man. Grippo's chips are SO GOOD.

Every time I go up to Ohio I eschew calorie counting and eat all the wonderful Ohio junk food that I can't get down here. Gold Star, Frisch’s, LaRosa's, Grippo's & Mikesells, Cassano's pizza, UDF milkshakes. Yum.

 

Not sure where to post this, so here goes.
When I buy beef I also ask for the organs. However I struggle with liver. So I have been unsuccessful in reducing the potent flavour and smell.
I am wanting to try making liver jerky, there are many recipes. Any help from my friends here would be great.
