Give me this but in meat form. Cured salami sticks 🥵
Ooh or cured salami sticks wrapped in that swirly chocolate wafer shell in the original image. Sweet and salty.
Bombay Mix
Hell yeah
Waffles, I’ll be sick after them but I have zero restraint and it’s a problem of future me. 🗿
Don’t visit Belgium
That is the proper way 👍
Anything really. As long as the bowl is within hands reach I will keep eating until it’s empty.
I just can’t seem to pace myself. So nowadays I try to stick to healthy snacks.
If I gorge myself on something then it might as well be something that’s good for me :)Cucmber sticks are the best! Especially if there’s hummus or cheese around
ive been eating mostly frozen burritos and coco pebbles for about 6 weeks. does that count?
Yes, mr Mexican policeman. Here is that loco. Yes, frozen. Yes, 6 weeks. Please, save the humanity from him!
do you smell toast?
No, just burned bread.
Damn, I haven’t had coco pebbles in years. The desire for the filmy milk once the cereal is gone has been awakened. I wonder how different they are there days…
its free chocolate milk at the end, how can anyone pass that up??
Cashew. Keep them away from my sight or I’ll eat them all.
Go to Fortaleza, Brazil.
They sell cashew EVERYWHERE. Stands by the beach will have giant sacks filled with cashews. Restaurants have cashew juice. Supermarkets have cashew jam, candy, concentrate, cakes, baked goods, Sodas… All dirt cheap.
After that trip, I think I had my fill of cashews. Now I barely eat it.
10/10 trip.
That trip would be the end of me! But probably worth it.
It absolutely is worth it!
Have a whole day dedicated to cashews. Have some cashew juice with toast and cashew jam for breakfast, then go to the cashew museum in Fortaleza, eat the fruit, the nut, have some cashew liquor, ice cream, cashew nut bread…
That’s how I realised I had my fill. I came back home several pounds heavier but I was worth it.
Cashew juice? My brain can’t process how it might taste.
If you aren’t familiar with how cashews grow, it’ll blow your mind. They look like this
That top part is called the cashew apple. It’s edible and apparently tastes pretty good. It doesn’t ship very well so people outside the area where they grow don’t usually experience them. I’m guessing the juice comes from that.That is correct. From what I remember, the fruit is very astringent and has a very small window of being ripe and sweet to eat before it goes sour, which limits transportation and export. But you might find juice concentrate in your local Latin American shop.
they likely grow it commercially there.
Yep, they do. The state of Ceará (where Fortaleza is in) is the major Brazilian cashew producer. It’s a beloved fruit that has much more to offer than the nut itself.
Peanut butter M&Ms are so completely addictive to me.
Chocolate covered orange jelly, whether sticks, cubes, or otherwise. I will devour the entire container when we get them. It’s kinda terrible. They’re addictive though.
Chocolate covered pretzels. My nemesis.
Gummy bears, or almost anything gummy, really. Sometimes I like to pair them with a salty snack like nuts or chips, for a more balanced meal.
Sour punch bites or nerds gummy clusters.
The juicy nerd clusters are ridiculously addictive to me
Yeah, sour candy is so addictive I will eat it until my tongue is raw every time
Vanilla Tootsie rolls are my Cocaine
Whatever’s in favor.
Right now it’s medjool dates. Sometimes it’s other dried fruit. Sometimes plain old chocolate.
Lucky we rarely buy cookies.
You know, over the years, that list has gotten tiny.
The only thing I really struggle with now, as in if I don’t pay attention and have a whole package next to me I’ll end up eating it all, is stuff like Ghirardelli squares or lindt truffles.
I’m a chocolate fiend. But, normally, I know how much I plan to have at a given point in time and stop when I’m at that point.
But there’s something about those bags of products that defeats me if I don’t pay close attention. I’ll have my two, maybe three truffles (as an example), enjoy them thoroughly and move on.
But then my brain says “did you have two, or three?” a few hours later. And then it says “or was only two, you can have the other now”. So I have the other. This then repeats a few hours later, and my brain keeps lying to me until half the damn bag is gone.
It’s mostly limited to bags because I can’t easily tell how much I’ve had until the bag is low. A box, it’s not going to sneak by me. Bars are never a problem. But bags? Damn. My subconscious knows I’ll enjoy it, and refuses to keep track on my behalf, I have to do it consciously. Bad subconscious! Bad!
I mean, I’m a grown ass man, and if I want the whole damn bag as a conscious decision, that’s what I’ll do. No apologies, no regrets, and fuck anyone that doesn’t like it. But I consciously know that I won’t enjoy large amounts at once because only the really cheap chocolate doesn’t lose its impact after a couple of bites. Hershey’s is the same from the first bite until the tenth, if you don’t mind that regurge thingy it does (and I do, so I rarely have more than a single piece even when I’m in the mood for cheap chocolate). But the mid tier mass produced stuff, you lose the nuances it does have after two to three bites and it’s just not as potent an experience, so I prefer to space it out more.
The really good stuff you could keep eating without losing the magic, but it’s so intense you don’t want/need to. It satisfies in a different way.
So, I choose to just be careful with the bags when I have them and store them away from wherever I am. But damn, if I forget? Gone in a day or two instead of the week+ it should be
I don’t know if it’s regular aging, side effects of covid, for the fact that corporations are making their food shittier and shittier, but very few snacks that I used to be able to eat endlessly taste good enough for me to do that anymore. like something happened to all dressed chips that they just aren’t crack like they used to be.
this goes for a lot of processed foods. things like fresh local strawberries taste just as good as ever, which is why I think it’s actually just the enshittification of food
Mmm… Licorice!
Call those tic-tacs licorice?
Het into some Dutch drop:
A guy I used to talk to online got my interest up enough to order some double salt licorice. I went with Gustaf’s because it was comparatively inexpensive shipped from scamazon. Ammonium chloride is just not on the menu for most American palates. I told him it tastes like how a litter box smells and he apologized profusely.
Then I kept eating them.
And I didn’t stop.Handing them to curious friends and family was a great chuckle for a while but now they’ve all learned better than to take or accept any snacks from me.
You should try Australian musk sticks, they taste like an elderly grandma covered in perfume and pot pourri smells and it is delicious.
Yeah it’s a wild ride. If you can, pick up a salmari bottle you get ammonium cloride plus booze.
mike and ikes used to be my thing until i stopped eating it a l ong time ago.
