[Braegan]

Ok, yes I can begin a thread that will get folks all thinking deeply about life, the universe and everything else. So now I challenge your favorite DDO snack! And Beer don't count (that's a beverage).

But for me Trail Mix, California Style. How can you go wrong? Peanuts, M & Ms, Almonds. It's like a pleasant party in the mouth!!!! :DDD And, yeah whatever it mad me laugh posting this so bleh!

Not trying to change the anti-philosophical nature of your thread, but are butterflys a snack or a meal?

[Rayzorlew]

Doritos with Fritos brand bean dip.....mmmmmmm!

[lostinjapan]

Due to the fact that I live in Japan and there are a LOT of things I cannot get on a regular basis (they aren't sold at the Japanese grocers, they aren't sold or are out of stock at the military base commissary)...I have to have several options. So here are my three favorites.

Tillamook Country Smoker Beef Steak Nuggets
It's like beef jerky only better.

Corn chips and Mrs. Renfro's Black Bean Salsa.

Tobasco Cheez-it.


So I like spicy food.... :D :D :D

Black Diamond's Wassabi Almonds

Pita chips with hummus. The more garlic on/in both items the better.

[satya_sai]

dark cherries and chocolate chips

Nope. Try again, butterflies are a drug. Hallucinogenic. Ask Loki, or either of Scar's kitties.
You may never realize how tasty chocolate animal crackers can be until you're being hand-fed them one after another after another after another by the tender, loving fingers of a three year old child.

Can I count beer if I dip a doughnut in it?

[Scarsgaard]

Can I count beer if I dip a doughnut in it?

nope... sorry but beer s a foodgroup and a dietary staple... it does not qualify as a snack:( :D

[Pfamily]

OK, just the doughnuts then...and scotch. Lots and lots of scotch!

[binnsr]

Don't tend to eat around the computers .. big ceramic mug of cold water does me for the night, usually..

[Clay]

the snacks here in Japanese convenience stores are way better than back home... Meiji brand chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Galbo. Pocky. Toppo... Mmmmmm

But I love Hagaen Daaz (sp?) ice cream sandwches... the caramel one. And I love vanilla icecream with maple syrup.

And homemade coke floats and, something I haven't had in a long while, my mom's homemade apple pie with apples from the tree in our yard.

I am feeling homesick!

[Juni]

Chocolate chip Granola Bars or Peanut butter Granola Bars and an A&W Rootbeer.


MMMMMMMM :)

I remember the Japanese (available in the commissary 20 years ago :)), shrimp-flavored and seaweed crackers as being pretty darned good.

Peanut butter-filled pretzels for me now.

[Impaqt]

I'm sure its got a fancy name. Some foo Foo Trail mix.... Wife throws it together

Peanuts, M&M's(Plain & Peanut), Raisins, Craisins, and Little Pretzels.

MMMMmmmmmmmm

The essential difference between you and I is...you can speak better Japanese than I & you have a spouse who can read it. :p

I walk into a Japanese grocery store or convenience store and unless I recognize the food itself (or its picture), I'm lost. I can't read the packaging. Sometimes I ask the employees but usually I hate to bother them with my stilted, baby Japanese.

I'll agree on the Haagen Dazs ice cream. Much better off base than on. Tiramisu, Bitter Caramel, Chardonnay & Peach, and Creme Brulee are just a few of the flavors you can purchase individual serving containers of from the convenience stores.

Fresh baumkuchen and iced coffee from the local japanese store is good too, and I love the spicy shrimp flavored chips.

Hey, I learned the hard way...

I remember buying what looked like a yummy jelly donut, and it seriously looks good... biting into it and...

its filled with a sweet bean paste, called anko...

YUCK!

Well, that was a mistake I made more than once, unfortunately always when I was really hungry... and made it so many times I actually like them now!

[Uamhas]

UFOs, Pocky, yam-yam, seaweed chips, and Iced coffee... gosh I've never been to Japan, but those are a few of my favorite snacks. I get them from the japanese grocer that taught me to say "oHIo!" and "doh ito mush' te" when he says "konbanwa" and "arigato" (yes, I know my pronunciation is atrocious)

[Scarsgaard]

5'2" girls in catholic school dresses and midnight black hair... mmm yummy:)

Why 5'2" in particular?

[Scarsgaard]

Why 5'2" in particular?

I like short...:D

A wonderful ex of mine was a 5'1" waif.. maybe 90lbs... and it was hilarious... I'd pick her up, sit her on my shoulder and walk her around at parties as if she was my parrot... but then one day, Cap'n Crunch came to visit and he said, "thar, ya be matey... lets go git ourselves some treasure... harr harrr harrr".. and I left her for the joys of Alberta... on the bright side..

but I digress:D

[Weedo]

Brownies FTW!
especially when they are made with my super secret ingredient that i like to call "Love" :D

I get them from the japanese grocer that taught me to say "oHIo!" and "doh ito mush' te" when he says "konbanwa" and "arigato" (yes, I know my pronunciation is atrocious)

Basic phrases:


Hai == yes
Iie == no
Ohayo gozaimasu == good morning
Konnichiwa == good afternoon
Konbanwa == good evening
Oyasuminasai == good night
Sayoonara == goodbye
Ja mata == see you later
Sumimasen == excuse me
Doomo arigatoo / arigatoo gozaimasu == thank you
Doo itashima****e == you're welcome
Chotto matte kudasai == just a moment please
Sore ikura desu ka == How much is that?

And that's your japanese lesson for the day. :p

EDIT: urggg the filter just removed part of the japanese phrase because it spells something meaning poo in english. Stupid filters...

[Clay]

i thought i'd point out that "-oo-" is a long "o" in Japanese, as in ocean, and not as in moon. I made that mistake once.

dooitashimash!te

[lostinjapan]

i thought i'd point out that "-oo-" is a long "o" in Japanese, as in ocean, and not as in moon. I made that mistake once.

dooitashimash!te

Yes and the u at the end of most words is almost silent.


Sore ikura desu ka

So "desu ka" is pronounced closer to "des-ka".

[Memnir]

I also must confess a weakness for homemade nachos. PepperJack & chedder cheeses - shredded - sprinkled on Tostitos Hint 'o Lime chips - heated.


:p

[Yorsh]

I'm going for buffalo wings. It takes real skill to munch on those babies and play ---- Brai

[PaintHorseCowboy]

I think all the various trail mixes can be covered under one good old stand-by phrase that anyone who spends a lot of time hiking, camping, backpacking, trekking, summiting, rock climbing, etc., will know..... GORP. Or Good Ole Raisins and Peanuts. Doesn't matter what else you mix in or what you call it. Refer to it as GORP and everyone knows you're talking about your trail mix.

As for my favorite snacks I'm going to have to go with, well GORP. Of course there's always my habenero salsa with corn chips when I'm feeling spicy. Or perhaps a granola bar and some fresh fruit. Washed down by a big glass of water or tea. If I'm in the mood for something a little more heavy, I have a whole freezer full of elk and deer jerky. Hunted them myself even. Or if I have a sweet tooth that night, then I'd have to go with a home-made rootbeer float.

I guess I'm ecclectic when it comes to my snacks because after all, humans didn't get to the top of the food chain to be vegetarians.

[Soulfurnace]

Pizza!

[Charononus]

lmao

[Teh_Troll]

Wasabi-Soy almonds and a 32-ounce Rum-n-coke with about 8 onces of rum it in.

I think I just soiled my shorts . . .

[Soulfurnace]

lmao
Hey, don't you laugh at my pizza.

Pizza makes everything better. (Even nachos. Nachos on pizza = win.)

Go away you.

We necro'd this to see whether this or the other nercro'd 2007 thread would get more people posting on it.

As it turns out, other thread (and evidence this was planned) has vanished.
I'm not amused.

No! It's for a good cause - and that good cause was removed by Turbine.

This thread, though dead, is now how we will remember that other thread!
