I've Rediscovered An Old Snack Food

I used to eat 'em when I was a kid

[lawman]

Roasted & salted pumpkin seed kernels.

Don't know why I gave 'em up. Probably because once you start it's hard to quit. :)

[Essex_boy]

You eat nuts in general do you?

Arent they supposed to be good for you?

[King_Fisher]

Nuts eating nuts? Sounds like cannibalism!

When I read the title of your thread I was afraid that you were going to say worms. ;)

[grandpa]

There's nothing like good healthy food.

I've re-discovered V-8, or the generic equivalent. Frankly, Dr. Pepper has lost it's appeal.

Don't those pumpkin seeds have to be shelled first, ala pistachios. I've almost quit eating anything that requires more than a knife and fork.

seed kernels

OK, nevermind :)

I've had a craving for Cockles (a Great British snack) for about 12 months! You can't get them here in Florida, I doubt anywhere in the USA.

Seaside holidays as a kid always had plenty of cockles to munch on (very healty snack).......now very difficult to obtain :(

[digitalghost]

Cockles you say?

[farawayfoods.com...] They ship from California.

Might be out of luck if you're craving jellied eels though...

[vincevincevince]

I know what you mean with the seeds, but they are just so annoying to open. I tend to give up and start chewing them intact and spitting out the whole fibrous mess after a while.

Thanks for that digitalhost......I've ordered a case already :)

Yuk, Jellied eels are disgusting....IMHO....each to his/her own!

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Anyone for haggis?

[digitalghost]

Sure, as long as it's served with a nice single malt, neeps and tatties.

[BeeDeeDubbleU]

Single malt, haggis, neeps and tatties as a snack food? Probably stretching it a wee bit. :)

[digitalghost]

Oh, I wouldn't eat any of that s#*t!, but as long as it came with a good single malt... ; )

[adamnichols45]

mmmm seafood is just yummy.

Haggis never tried it although my girlfriend is scottish and so are her family.

Wont be to long I suppose.

Hmm, that wouldn't have anything to do with the salt, would it? :-)

I usually have a jar nearby of various (unsalted) seeds mixed with dried fruits - a healthy combination. Sunflower seeds are particularly noted for their ability to help reduce cholesterol.
