Excuse you, that is called charcuterie.

Toss some fruit and meat on there and it’s $25 in the new gastropub downtown.

Crackers, cheese (either brie or cheddar or cream cheese) and a single candied jalapeño. So. Cracker, layer of a cheese, single candied jalapeño on top.

Or just processed bad food.

Oooor chocolate chip banana bread, if I managed to make some, but I eat that in like 2 days.

If you're prone to zits I suggest not eating cheese strings. I get a monster zit before I'm even finished one.

I didn't know this was an autistic snack. I have it pretty often

Grapes. I seem to remember that being quite a common favourite food amongst autistic people I knew. Wonder if that's confirmation bias or not.

Microwave until bubbly, top with any extra toppings you like (tomato, olives, green onion, sour cream, avocado, etc!) and dip tortilla chips the fuck into it. hell yeah that’s the best

Popcorn. And good grapes, the fat ones.

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

I prefer closer to a 1:1 ratio of cheese to cracker. Also saltines aren't salty anymore, and even the more expensive ones crumble too easily.

I haven't had snacks lately, but in the past, I really liked the following:

  • those little sliced toasted breads that come in a bag and cream cheese
  • guava paste and cream cheese
  • mango marmalade and cream cheese

Shoot. I forgot how much I used to like cream cheese.
