flat bread, dry enough and it feels like chips. you must be careful not to cut your mouth with the sharp edges.
Gummy bears. I will eat them until I feel ill.
What is Bombay mix?
In Bangladesh we call it Chanachur but it’s basically oily fried lentils that are often paired with peanuts. There’s many different types of it (bombay mix refers to a specific style) and it’s greasy as all hell.
That sounds amazing.
Oh. Eww. Thanks.
it’s basically a selection of fried legumes/beans, nuts and crisps (like soy crisps/rice crisps/crunchy corn, not potato chips) that’s well seasoned and eaten like a snackfood.
it’s definitely a bit oily but often spiced very well and real morish - like eating spiced roast peanuts but with more variety. it’s called bombay mix or bhuja mix here in australia, and i’m sure it’s garb in comparison to actual street snacks in india but it’s still tasty
This is the one im eating currently, not sure how it compares to other versions of it but its the UK variety.
ice cream during the hot summer, I can eat a whole tub in one sitting. Potato chips and more recently dried longan fruits
Childhood story that I used to be embarrassed about:
Sliced beetroot. As a kid I would literally just crack open a can and eat the whole thing. For those who haven’t done this, it comes out of you the same colour as it goes in.
My mum had some friends over one day, and I had eaten many many pieces of beetroot earlier. I had a big poo, which was bright red, so I wandered into the lounge room and said “mum my poo is red”
Brief panic ensued before she figured out what had happened.
Beetroot is still great but I no longer eat that much of it.
yeah every now and again there’s that brief panic before i remember the beets are in season lol
As my mum always says, you can’t beet a root
And you certainly can’t root a beet
Ramen noodles. I’ve taken to cooking them with lots of extra broth to fill me up more (like, 4 cups) because otherwise I will eat half my daily calories in a single sitting.
I put in about twice as many vegetables as my parents ever attempted putting on my plate as a child.
I put
s in mineRecently I’ve been drinking the broth for breakfast and saving the noodles to fry with veggies for dinner.
This one’s got sweat peas, garbanzos, broccoli, carrot, onion, corn, garlic, and pineapple!
Uncooked 🤤😋🤤
omg yes
Chanachur (What bombay mix style food is called in Bangladesh) and Muri (puffed rice) is my guiltiest food I can wolf down an entire packet of it in an hour. Of course, I’d have a people’s protracted shitting war in the bathroom
. I think a lot of other deshi folks growing up would agree as well. Usually at parties its paired with lentils and onions.When I was younger it would be Fritos chips since I never liked any other chips brands weirdly enough (I never got into pringles because of the can).
I can’t do peanuts but I’ll eat like a whole kilo of roasted chana dal or moong dal if there aren’t any witnesses. Boondi, too, but there I tend to be more prudent with the sizes of the bags I get.
I get full easy so my answer is gonna be strawberries. I made myself sick eating too many as a kid. They’re so fucking good
My personal disgustingly unhealthy fave is strawberries i just dip in a bowl of sugar cos why the fuck not
Try frozen strawberries. They’re soft enough to just bite through.
Oreos - family pack won’t last more than two days
Seedless Grapes - 1kg is one serving size
My wife makes these purple potatoes that turn me in Randy from A Christmas Story.
Something like a milkshake or a smoothie is just gone in half a minute no matter the size.
Arare crackers, shits are addictive.
Nachos
Good chips or bad chips
Extra toppings or no toppings
Quality Cheese or cheap cheese
Doesn’t matter.
All nachos go in the mouth-hole
Them Red Rock Deli Honey Soy Chicken chips. Everytime I eat them it’s like that Seinfeld episode, I have one and I’m on the wagon (off the wagon?) again
Sweet chilli sour cream for me
God I miss those so much after going vegan. They really are addictive.
At least the chilli ones are vegan friendly
Chocolate covered pretzels. One time I got a ginormous 1.5 lb (~700 g) bag and accidentally ate almost the whole thing in one sitting—that’s 2000-3000 Calories, which is over my entire daily maintenance level. The simple combination of chocolate, salt, and crunch is irresistible to me, made even more dangerous by the fact that they’re not very filling and can be eaten quickly, so the satiation response doesn’t kick in until it’s too late.
I’m generally very susceptible to any shelf-stable salty snacks like that which you can eat without preparation, so I try not to buy them at all rather than trust my self-control. I’m better off with things like break-and-bake cookies where I can decide the portion size ahead of time and will not be tempted to wait another half hour to bake more.
good lord, the chocolate pretzels they have at australian costco are fucking unreal
i had to start portioning into a very small bowl, because if you’re going hand into the bag, you WILL go too far
Sunflower seeds (in the shell). I cannot stop. The fivespice chacha brand ones in particular
What’s the good way to open them? Do you crack em in your front teeth and have a separate bowl for the wet shells or is there a less messy way? I also tried to eat the shells but I don’t like how fibrous they are.
Yeah pretty much, crack them between whichever teeth you find easiest, then use your tongue, teeth or fingers to split it open then pop out the seed.
You don’t want to chomp on the seed laid flat, you want to split it down the narrow side, i.e. bite on it lightly while it’s upright.
I usually just lightly crack it between my teeth then pinch it between my forefinger and thumb to split it fully.
Yes I usually drop the husk into a bowl or whatever. It’s not wet unless you’re particularly slobbery.
