Unusual TV Snack?

Do you, your friends, or family members have any weird snacks they like to eat in front of the TV or at other down times?

I tend to mix sour cream and salsa and just pour the nachos in and eat it with a spoon like cereal.

I’m sure it all started out logically enough - but somehow it morphed in to this being “normal” to me.

I realized that it would look really weird to someone just walking in.

How about you?

I have been known to cut raw cabbage into large wedges and snack on them while watching TV or websurfing. It’s nearly as crunchy as chips, and I like the flavor.

I like rutabagas cut into sticks to snack on (like the raw cabbage, it’s the texture and the crunchiness for me).

I have a regular combo: pretzels and jalapeno cheese dip. I can’t eat pretzels without the dip. Somebody I switch to pretzel sticks for a time, then back to regular pretzels.

I’m not sure this counts…it’s a drink that I’ve imbibed while watching TV (and would have it at any other time) but my family thinks it’s really weird that my new favorite drink is vodka mixed with ginger ale.

I worked for a chef once who had the salad preparers save the cores of purple cabbages for him to snack on. He said they tasted like rutabagas. I don’t think I’ve even ever seen a rutabaga.
My weird TV snack is alternate bites, at long intervals, of tree nuts and dark chocolate. This is accompanied by either an alchohlic beverage or water–nothing else soft. I used to slowly munch on various mixed, spicy, pickled veggies like pepperoncini, garlic olives, and artichoke hearts.

Rippled Old Dutch* potato chips and Old Home* small curd cottage cheese. I used to eat this more often back when I had a metabolism, though.

*Yes, it must be those brands.

Wavy Lays and Lays Ranch Dip. It’s my crack. Sometimes I’ll pop some popcorn and snack on that, but if the chips and dip are available, I can’t resist eating them.

BTW, cabbage cores are the best part. Little salt…nom nom nom.

Hey, I can’t help it, I mingle with vodka and I get all uninhibited. :smiley:
Not something I do often, but some times I’d pick one of those Knorr stock cubes and slooooooowly nibble at it.

Damn, now I want one. :frowning:

Exactly. That’s where the flavor is strongest. I like it better without salt, though. I prefer green cabbage cores to purple, too–purple cabbage has a bitter edge that I don’t care for.

I like to munch on dry Cheerios, like a toddler.

I like fishy crackers!

Plain tortilla chips and plain sour cream please.

I used to put gunk in the sour cream but, in a random fit of lazyness, simply stopped. Now when I taste a flavored dip it’s ungodly salty and strong. Just some of the plain stuff and I’ll be fine.

Also I’d like to second crunching up the chips and putting them in the nearly empty sour cream bowl and eating them like cereal. Spoonfuls of crunchy creamy corney saltyness. [homer simpson]Ahhhggghhgghg…[/homer simpson]

Yum! Think I’ll stop on the way home and get me some ginger ale.

Is just putting the ‘easy cheese’ on my tongue weird?

Nope. SOP.

If you like vodka and ginger ale, I suggest you try a Moscow Mule! Mmmmmm :cool:

(vodka, ginger beer, lime and Angostura bitters.)

Lately I’ve been addicted to Dorito’s Habenjaro chips. So I’ll either get out the sour cream or vanilla ice cream and dip the chips in one of those.

Rutabagas are goooood raw. I think most people call them turnips, but what we have in our local stores are actually rutabagas.

I seem to have lost my ability to read for comprehension. :: boggle ::
