If you’d rather avoid fried food, **[grilling](http://www.madiganmade.com/2012/09/snickers-grilled-dessert-panini.html)** is an option. ---

dark-chocolate covered pretzels win in this category for me. No nuts, but then, you can’t have everything. ---

To be clear: beer and pizza are the foodstuffs of Agrarian Man. When we moved from Hunters and Gatherers to agriculture, the first food that defined that were flatbreads with stuff on them and fermented grain beverages. There’s a reason why they’re so…fundamental. As for a Snickers - Dude, be happy, but you’re basically describing a crap-food craving that could manifest in any number of ways. To me, a Snickers is a jack of all crap, master of none. ---

I hate Snickers. The candy has an identity problem. But if I make a milkshake at home, I always throw in some salt. Milk, ice (not ice cream unless I’m trying to use some up), vanilla, sugar, fruit…and a pinch of salt. Sometimes a splash of bitters, too. I do like honey roasted nuts and Gardettos snack mix. Together, even. I’m hungry now. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weve-all-had-moments-of-overwhelming-craving-for-a-concentrated-densely-packed-blast-of/690165.md?page=1)
