TMI QUESTIONS: SNACK TIME

SNACK TIME

1. Do you prefer salty or sweet?Actually, I have cravings for both.  Love salted peanuts and dark chocolate.  But I need to stay away from both because the salt leads to edema in my legs, and sweet is a no-no for my diabetes.

2. What was your favorite snack as a kid?

 Sour pickles.  I love sour pickles, which goes back to my paper route days as a teenager. There was a hot dog stand located where I picked up my papers every afternoon. They sold these giant sour pickles out of a jar for 15 cents. Every day I bought one and slowly sucked on it and ate it as I delivered my papers.

3. What is your favorite snack now?Sour pickles. At my local Harris-Teeter, they sell large whole Boar's Head sour pickles out of a jar in the deli section for 99 cents each. I usually buy 6 each week, and enjoy one in the evening before bed time. A couple years ago they sold Dietz and Watson large sour pickles out of a "barrel" which I preferred over the Boar's Head.

Cheese, especially Jarlsberg.

4. Healthy snacks are....?

Still not healthy, but healthier are 40% reduced fat Cape Cod Potato chips and Seneca apple and sweet potato chips.

   

5. Milk and what kind of cookies? Do you dunk?

I don’t eat cookies and drink milk.  The only thing I’ve ever dunked is a donut in coffee.

   

Krispy Kreme only, never  Dunkin' Donuts!

6. How do you eat Oreos?

Absolutely HATE Oreos!

7. What is your favorite movie snack?

Popcorn, especially Cape Cod Sea Salt popcorn.

8. Cake or pie?

Lemon chess and pecan pies are my favorite.  Also like coconut cake.
