Snacks and surprises (without the surprises)

[jimmy p]

So I'm sitting here eating a freshly microwaved spicy poppadom, and I'm thinking to myself, what is everyone on PF's favourite snack??

As above, mine is a poppadom to eat while I'm typing away on PF. What's yours?

[zoobyshoe]

Weird, purple jellyfish, warmed in the microwave, a la'mode, straightforward vanilla ice cream.


Whats a poppadom?

[i_wish_i_was_smart]

hmmmmmm snack eh? i would have to say beef jerky

[zoobyshoe]

What's a poppadom?

[i_wish_i_was_smart]

i dont know and i dont care

[Njorl]

What's a poppadom?

What's a poppadom?

What's a poppadom?!

SIR, WHAT ISN'T A POPPADOM!

Njorl

PS - Actually, I'd like to know too.

[zoobyshoe]

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it's a species of dinosaur. Triassic. Small. Plates on the back. Crawled on all fours. Vegetarian. Usually of a cheerful disposition. Social animals, but displaying no interest in politics. Usually ate their own young as soon as they hatched, except the ones that got away. Not aquatic. Not tropical. Preferred temperate climate but spent winters in Arizona. Yeah. That was the poppadom.

[zoobyshoe]

No, I'm sorry. I think I was actually describing the family that used to live next door to us.

[Math Is Hard]

is there a mommadom?

[DarkAnt]

reese's pieces!!! I wish I had a lifetime supply of those...

[jimmy p]

well poppadom is how the packet spells them flour things that you cook that go with currys and stuff. Poppadom, papadom, its all good.

I heard that purple jellyfish was quite a delicacy for zoobies, not just a snack.

[Evo]

I like warm salted nuts.

Cashews are my favorite.

[jcsd]

Larks' tongues

[BoulderHead]

Fried green plantain (occasionally banana) chips. When the season permits, the rose apple makes for a delicately flavored delicious treat.

[honestrosewater]

Um, hello? Cheetos?
Not my favorite now, but when I was younger... there was no better snack- it made your fingers orange! How magically delicious! uh huhhyeah...

Anyway, my favorite snack is coffee or an orange. Eating an orange just makes me happy :) So sweet and juicy and light and fresh and mmm...

[jimmy p]

Hey, we have things like those here in England!! They are called.... Wotsits....

[honestrosewater]

No, oranges in England? That's amazing! :surprise:
Why do you call them Wotsits? That's so goofy...

[Math Is Hard]

I love boiled peanuts. It's an Alabama delicacy.
But I found out my friend from India likes them too! She cooks them much better than I do. I always get them a little too salty.

[jimmy p]

We have Oranges in UK... otherwise I would be full o' scurvy!! And so would Polly, my Parrot, ARRR!!! I dunno why Cheetos are called Wotsits, its lame, but true.

[honestrosewater]

Yeah, I was just joking... perhaps we could just call them cheese-flavored corn puffs... er, I mean cheese-flavoured corn puffs :rolleyes: Too nutty ;)

[jimmy p]

lol. That is the description on the packet, and thank you for appreciating our 'u'... most important apparently.

[jimmy p]

Another cool snack or munch.... pipitas - salted sunflower seeds. mmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty!! i have some right now... and a kitten.. but the kitten isnt edible.

[zoobyshoe]

Actually, it's well known that the majority of people in the UK have never even seen a real orange, just the fake, mechanical ones. Hence the phrase: "He's as batty as a clockwork orange!"

[Ivan Seeking]

Jimmy, I told a Cockney lady at the store that I wanted some apples and pears. She slapped me. :biggrin:

My favorite snack food? Tortilla Chips or Nachos and HOT HOT Salsa

Any and all kinds of nuts: now that makes sense doesn't it? :wink:

[i_wish_i_was_smart]

how about prairie oysters, anyone ever had those

[Polly]

I love boiled peanuts. It's an Alabama delicacy.
But I found out my friend from India likes them too! She cooks them much better than I do. I always get them a little too salty.

Me too, just love them, especially in winter time. Do you know they are great for our *ahem* intelligence too :biggrin: ?

The mechanical oranges arent as tasty as the real ones - I was fortunate to be able to try both. And as for Ivan, it depends what store you went to :tongue2:

How bout olives, do you guys snack on olives? Green ones are the best.

[zoobyshoe]

The mechanical oranges arent as tasty as the real ones
They are if you remember to wash all the gear oil out of them first.

Sliced black olives on salads. Green ones when I'm in a sour mood. I mean a mood for sour things.

[Echo 6 Sierra]

White chocolate Reeses
Kosher dill pickles
Apple slices w/peanut butter and cinnamon

[Njorl]

Larks' tongues

They are best in aspic.

[Pattielli]

It is edible, if you don't believe, try one!

[Pattielli]

You said so because I heard from a friend of mine whose name is Shirley from Laos that some people in his country eat cats sometimes...

[jimmy p]

maybe that is where the saying "there is more than one way to skin a cat" originated from.

[Imparcticle]

smoothie:

Mangos
some lemons/lime
bannanna

hmmmm!!!

[Ivan Seeking]

Jimmy, I told a Cockney lady at the store that I wanted some apples and pears. She slapped me. :biggrin:

Hello, HELLO! Is this microphone working???
psssst, psssst, thump, thump,
hello

[Tsu]

BIG peach smoothie with LOTS of whipped creme on top (then stirred in). :BIGGRIN:

[jimmy p]

lol, I acknowledged but it was in a post to zoobyshoe. Next time you are in a Cockney restaurant, tell the chef his food has the consistency of Henry the Third. :rofl: :wink:

[baffledMatt]

What sort of food do they sell at a Cockney restaurant? The great East London cuisine of pie and chips? Of course, that comes free with a pint of lager and a blazing row.

Matt

[Monique]

A raw salted herring, hold it by the tail fin, dip in some raw onion, and enjoy :biggrin:
Now there is something you can treat yourself with :smile:

Yeuch... sounds like the sort of filthy stuff they eat here in Norway.

They also have this strange one involving a fish, a hole in the ground, some urine and waiting a year... yummy!

Matt

[Tsu]

Is that the stuff they call Gevelkefisk? (or something like that...) We have some scandanavians in our area and they eat some kind of weird fish thing about which everyone says 'you have to develop a taste for it...' :eek:

[Math Is Hard]

Monique, are you part sea lion? :rofl:
That sounds like what we used to feed the seals and sea lions at Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco!!

[Evo]

Maybe it's lutefisk. "smelly old dried fish soaked in lye"

And then there's that rotting shark stuff that they eat in Iceland, I mean they literally let it rot for several months, all slimy and smelly. It was on National Geographic.

[Monique]

Hey, you guys just have underdeveloped taste buds :biggrin: :rofl:

http://www.cornishcrabber.nl/activiteiten/fotos/vj2003_1/haring.jpg

[baffledMatt]

Hmm, if I want my tastebuds 'developed' I'd much rather do it with a curry.

[Tsu]

Maybe it's lutefisk. "smelly old dried fish soaked in lye"
YEAH!! That's the stuff!! :yuck:

[BoulderHead]

How about making a snack of these krinkle-cut French fries while throwing that cheeseburger and chocolate shake down your throat;

http://eat.bees.net/lep1.htm

Looks good to me! :approve:

[Ivan Seeking]

lol, I acknowledged but it was in a post to zoobyshoe. Next time you are in a Cockney restaurant, tell the chef his food has the consistency of Henry the Third. :rofl: :wink:

Poor Henry!

[jimmy p]

tsk tsk... gotta know your rhyming slang... Henry the Third = turd, and if you did know that, then it is for the unenlightened

[Math Is Hard]

Me too, just love them, especially in winter time. Do you know the are great for our *ahem* intelligence too :biggrin: ?

Really? I had never heard that. Is that true for all nuts or just peanuts?

[Ivan Seeking]

I got it. Poor Henry! :biggrin:

I will never ask for a Henry again - the chocolate candy bar sold in the US.

Now that's a snack AND a surprise!

[Robert Zaleski]

By my definition, if it doesn't have the power to induce a 'FOOD COMA" it's not fit to be called a snack. These baby's do the trick.

[Robert Zaleski]

White chocolate Reeses
Kosher dill pickles
Apple slices w/peanut butter and cinnamon
Echo 6 Sierra is going to have a baby!

[Polly]

Really? I had never heard that. Is that true for all nuts or just peanuts?

Peanuts seem to be quite effective when cooked with water (steamed, boiled, stewed or in soup), the other nuts don't seem to have that "side-effect".

[jimmy p]

What "intelligence" or "side effect" is this?

[Echo 6 Sierra]

Echo 6 Sierra is going to have a baby!

NEGATRON, dude. But I can now see why you would think that. Plus, I don't have the right plumbing. The closest I could ever have come will have been when I passed a kidney stone that closely resembled a sea urchin. :surprise: :cry: :eek:

[motai]

Hmm.. speaking of peanuts, my favorite snack is peanut butter & crackers.

That's why you're so bloody brilliant, Motai, old chap!


[oops! sorry, I forgot you're not British - again.]

Hey! I saw something just like this at Sea World!!!
Did everyone clap when they were done eating fish? :rofl:

If I were British then I would have probably added tea and biscuits to that list :smile:.

Gawd Blimey, them crusty dragons somehow ended up in me nosh! Crikey! That definitely throws the spanner in the works. The wonky, headcased duff was absobloodylootely gormless and a bunch of sixes and sevens. He'd better gimme another crumpling bugger all, else id be cheesed off. :biggrin:

WOW! Impressive! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Jimmy P, can you translate that???

[Janitor]

Any brand of BBQ-flavored potato chips, washed down with fully-sugared Coca Cola. Hard to beat, folks.

Daddy, I wanna feed the Dutch people! Can I, Daddy? Pleeeeeeease...?

[jimmy p]

Don't forget the scones and clotted cream!!

Gawd Blimey, them crusty dragons somehow ended up in me nosh! Crikey!

Oh, dear something (eg.a fly) has landed in my food. Dang.

That definitely throws the spanner in the works.

That's screwed that plan up/that has ruined that.

The wonky, headcased duff was absobloodylootely gormless and a bunch of sixes and sevens.

That guy is crazy

He'd better gimme another crumpling bugger all, else id be cheesed off.

I better get some more food (eg. a crumpet) or I will be very annoyed.

:biggrin:

Speaks for itself.

[Math Is Hard]

That's awesome, Jimmy! You should work for the UN!

[motai]

Oh, dear something (eg.a fly) has landed in my food. Dang.
Interesting. According to the online British slang dictionary I used, a "crusty dragon" registered as a booger. :biggrin:

That's screwed that plan up/that has ruined that.
I guess I screwed up there.



That guy is crazy bluntly put. The original is slightly too long, no?

[jimmy p]

Oooh that's a new one, I didnt know crusty dragon was a booger. I would have just said a piece of snot. :biggrin:

Thanx Math is Hard, maybe I can improve communication that way!!

[baffledMatt]

Interesting. According to the online British slang dictionary I used, a "crusty dragon" registered as a booger. :biggrin:


I think that's the only one I didn't know :wink:

But of course, us southerners have a much more sophisticated vocabulary, tentatively venturing to use sesquipedalian colloquialism whenever in the propinquity of educated discourse.

If you catch my drift.

Matt

[Math Is Hard]

Matt, does that make you a "posh git", then? :wink:

quite dear fellow, quite. How Southern are you?

[baffledMatt]

Matt, does that make you a "posh git", then? :wink:

What an absurd suggestion. Educated man, educated!

jimmy_p: Born in Essex (I am not proud of my heritage), raised near Cambridge and University in London - Kensington you know. I think that would put me safely in the 'soft southerner' category.

Oh, rather. Top hole to that one old bean. My humble abode is set up in a very soft and Southern most area of good old Blighty. Southampton doncha know!!

[baffledMatt]

Southampton eh? A splendid part of the world if you don't mind my saying so. I have a veritably sound aquaintance who originates from a vicinity not far from there and I must confess that they are most agreeable.

Matt

[Ivan Seeking]

Daddy, I wanna feed the Dutch people! Can I, Daddy? Pleeeeeeease...?

Can't you read the sign? It says DO NOT FEED... :biggrin:

If we ever have a get together, raw salted herring and double salted liquorice for EVERYONE!!

Uh, well, as long as it doesn’t taste like fish! :biggrin:

I'm not sure about the night of Ouzo and Greek dancing any time soon. Our nephew - -Tsu's sister's kid - was just stationed in Honolulu [military] and Tsu has been scrutinizing our Air Miles account with a magnifying glass ever since. So far, it looks like they will drop her off somewhere about 500 miles short of Hawaii! :eek:

[Math Is Hard]

I bet she's planning to water-ski the rest of the way. :biggrin:
