What are your five favorite desert island snacks

by Karen/NoCA » Sat May 19, 2012 7:55 pm

So you just came back from fishing all morning, and lunch is two hours away. What did you bring to ward off the hungry feeling?

Right now I am loving a product from Trisciut. "Thin Crisps" made with whole grain soft white winter wheat, soybean oil oil and salt. (three ingredients, imagine that!)

A spoonful of Jiffy chunky peanut butter
A celery heart stalk stuffed with a wedge of Skinny Cow French Onion Cheese
Two or three light salami slices, folded with a whole pepperoncini pepper

Oh, I love these kind of questions... :D

Some of my favorite snack foods would have to include:

Peanut M & M's
Hostess Honey Bun With White Frosting (Oh please be soft and fresh)
Kettle Cooked Chips (Preferably with Dip)
Ice Cold Bottles of Coca Cola
Cadbury Caramello

Of course, I might end up slightly revising this depending on my tastes for the day.

I'm terrible at these games because my favorites change from day to day. Generally speaking, though, salty and crunchy snacks are my guilty pleasures. I keep most of these things out of the house to hold temptation at bay.

My list right now ...

Mini pretzels
A puffy, crispy cracker that local fave Lotsa Pasta makes.
Almonds
Olives
Sun Chips

My core rotation is about 5 or 6 items.

Fresh fruit
Dried dates
Bread
Peanut butter/almond butter/cashew butter
Fruit jam

And chocolate, although that would probably be much harder to keep in good edible condition on the island.

As long as potato chips are never in the house, as it's the one thing I just can't stay away from:

peanut butter
raw walnuts and almonds
dried fruit, especially prunes and apricots
grape tomatoes
salami
