Sweet baby Jesus, these things are more addictive than crack cocaine! 😳

What’s your weakness then? The stuff you literally can’t stop shovelling into your gob until they’re done?

Chocolate raisins, jelly babies and hot cross buns are my three major vices.

Pistachios, Walnuts, cashews. I have to be very restrained if I open a packet of any of them.

Most of the chocolatey cakes things you get in those tubs from M & S.

I would say salt and vinegar Hula Hoops puffs or pickled onion monster munch but they both strip the lining from my mouth after a full size bag.

I’m presently staring at a big tub of Pistachios. Once they’re open, they’re done too. I could literally keep going until my thumbs are bloodied stumps

I don't think you get his thread, a single packet is simply a standard portion isn't it, we're taking multi packets here.

Biltong. If I ride on a saturday I pass dangerously close on the way home to the Saffer shop, and frequently call in for 'about a tenner?' of chilli chutney biltong, as wet (rare) as they have it

That's about half a pound of semi raw meat that gets chomped in no time.

I have tried buying £15 worth because then there's less temptation to eat it all, and I'll get 2 portions at least from it.

As if.....

I don't think I've ever eaten half a packet of anything and put the rest away for another time.

Supermarket own brand midget gems are one that I really need to avoid.

I think any nuts are essentially drugs.

I remember buying a massive bag of salted peanuts and it had 2 obvious nonsenses emblazoned on the packaging

1. Sharing bag

2. Resealable pack

Yes, well I can assure you that neither of those things will be happening 😃

You don't get much Balti mix for a pound.

The asian supermarket near me sells some unknown brand stuff - for £1 you need a sack trolley to get it to the car!

For me it's liquorice. Unless it's a "fancy" sort. Y'know, the sort that has "interesting" stuff added to make it irresistible at the check-out at the gift shop. Like the stuff they adulterate fudge with.

Oh, yes... fudge.

And why do Pringles have a resealable top? That's not even single use plastic.

I have such a sack here in my kitchen, going to split it into medium sized lunch boxes just so I don't do a piggy take on snaffling the lot and spliting my teeth in the process

M&S onion ring crisps. The only stops me eating them is the lack of them

Binners, theres versions of those Sausages with a) pickle or b) English mustard embedded from Marks I think which take even those to another level.

The walkers MAX crisps range have changed my life:

KFC
Hot chicken wings
Jalapeno and cheese

They're called crack crisps in my house, in fact I'm eating a packet of KFC flava now

Also, I always have a jar of aubergine pickle on the go, just spread it on anything that's lying around

Totally with you on the MAX crisps @fingerbang

I bought a big pack of the KFC ones so I could laugh derisively at them. KFC crisps indeed?

The derision didn’t last long and neither did the crisps 😂

The cheese and jalapeño ones are awesome

I’ve not tried the chicken wings ones. I need to rectify that

Pigs in blankets, pretty much the only good thing about Xmas

Mimi millionaire chocolate bites, a box of 20, less than an hour

Boasters biscuits , probably gone in 15 mins

Strange thing is i can leave unopened boscuits, sweets, eastet eggs etc alone in a cupboard for weeks, however once opened... All gone

I know what you mean about dairylea triangles. When it comes to allegedly cheese-based substances, I can chew one of these like a Mars bar. God only knows what it’s made of, but it’s delicious

Last week I meant to have a handful of those chilli and lemon chips. Then finished the entire family bag to myself with a nice hoppy beer *burp*.

The taste, texture, flavour is a sublime confection of culinary genius. The way they curl exactly around the tip of the tongue and then zap the tastebuds with rolling waves of lime and crisp chilli, garlic, perfect seasoning and crisp-floury explosions of crunchy goodness.

Also rans:

Salted peanuts
Chilli peanuts
Ten Acre Hickory BBQ crisps (utter perfection as far as crisps go)

*oops, lemon, not lime.

And fudge. Fudge is addictive.

Discovered some dairy-free cranberry fudge recently which I thought would be foul and yet turned out it was epic. Needless to say it’s gone, all gone. There was some fighting.

*

Co-op sea salt and Chardonnay vinegar crisps.

^ Can vouch for these being at least the saltiest and vinegariest crisps I’ve every tried. Too extreme for my delicate chops, but they do what they say on the pack!

Plain chocolate digestive biscuits.
Like crack to me. I did a job at the factory they're made at. Usually when I've been in a food factory, the last thing I want is that food, I bought and inhaled a packet on the way home.
Interesting fact for a biscuit addict, the chocolate texture isn't deliberate, it's just from the conveyor I'm told.

If I know it's in the cupboard I'll have to really resist eating it. Crisps, biscuits, ice cream etc. I have been known on many occasions to buy a pack of pork scratchings, chocolate digestives or Mars Ice Creams and them not survive leaving the car park. My record is 4 Mars Ice Creams in the time it takes me to walk from the till to the car! As they are always on offer of 2 packs for £2 I then sit in the car and eat the other 4...

since we started looking after our grandaughter ive discovered these.....

so yummy

always used to love farleys rusks even as an adult and thought i still would, but i was disappointed to discover theyre too sweet for me now.

these apple biscotti jobbies are just perfect, i can eat packets at a time. they go a bit mushy in your mouth, arent too sweet, and theyre for baybeez so got to be full of goodness right? 😉

And, it's on the bottom half of the biscuit, not the top. You were holding it upside down all these years.

The cheese flavoured powder on the cheese ones is opioid based.

Pork scratchings.. the proper ones with pigs lugs, nipples and noses in... the ones that are a bit moist...

Its a wonder i am alive...

Minature pork pies with a brown sauce dip... this is me being posh.

Roast potatoes
Kallettes - roasted with garlic, salt and lemon, they are vegetarian scratchings and one bag is not enough but it's veg so it's ok, right
Cocktail sausages before I stopped eating meat and those tinned ones that were questionable meat anyway

Peanut m&ms
Leibniz biscuits
bourbon biscuits

I have a problem

the other week I asked on here about Costco and people told me about all the extra shite I'd be coming home with, as well as a telly

Nobody mentioned the kilo packs of dry roast almonds ! - man, they're good

I used to be all about the minstrels+skittles (mixed together of course)
Don't do that any more, now I'm diabetic 🙁

I consider myself a snack omnivore so it's a yes from me for all of the above. Apart from brown sauce. Pork pies and sweet chilli sauce, brown sauce is the only sauce we don't have at home, and we have a lot

My Nan used to run a pub in the 70's and while all the beer and spirits came from the brewery, she was allowed to use the local cash n'carry to buy all the crisps, peanuts, (do you remember those cards with the peanuts on behind the bar where as you sold more it revealed more of a lady with her top off!) to sell, as that was indeed 'pub grub' in those days.

And pork scratchings. One day I went with her and she bought me my own card of Mr Porky's. I think it was 24 packs. I'm still embarrassed at how short a time they lasted, and I was shitting 'well lubricated' stools for days after.
