The snackiest snacks

[mrk]

I like a good snack, who doesn't?

In recent years I have grown very fond of dried mango, and like custard creams, I have done my research and sampled dried mango from as many shops as possible and have come to the finding that Costa and ALDI dried mango offer the softest and tastiest experience. ALDI ones being cheaper, and in bigger packs obviously.

I bought two bags, finished one walking home from the store, and finished the other a few hours later. I need to check how many I can eat before things go wrong so as to stay below that limit

What other snacks are truly snacky?





Yes, I have dunked them in tea.

During my trip to Japan last year I was introduced to Dried fish and almonds....Niboshi or Almond Fish (小魚アーモンド). I thought it was WTF at first but now I love it. I grab a couple of bags now everytime I am at that side of the world, or when I see them in a store.

It is very tasty and full of protein, like 39g per 100g serving.

@Raymond Lin That looks like the dodgy stuff you see on the TV series like Border Security.

You haven't seen other snacks you can get, like duck tongues or chicken feet. All vacuum-packed into single servings.

I want to visit Japan for many reasons, these kind of things is never one of those reasons.

Not anything new but my go-to snack is Biltong, been eating it since I was a very young kid in South Africa.

Nothing here has perfected the taste I remember, although one local butcher gets really close they are a bit hit-and-miss, they are from SA so who am I to argue eh! I used to get the best stuff from an importer but they have stopped all of that apparently.

My wife used to hate it which was great, now it is her go to snack too, she eats more of it than me.

Nah, Beef Jerky is best. Specifically the hot honey one I get.

Chinese beef or pork jerky is more tasty, although even more expensive I found!

The level of snacking has been unexpected here so far, do people not enjoy actually good snacks any more??

@mrk have you tried dried pineapple? Excellent stuff. I love dried mango too.

I usually get a bag of dried pineapple from Costco whenever I go there. It's too good.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Caramelised honey cashews.
I don't get them very often because I just inhale them.

I have yes, although I do prefer dried mango more, though yes very nice. Dried banana too for a more crispy snack. Also from ALDI.
