Good call! Thats exactly what I had for my breakfast this morning. 😀

I don't do anything sweet so my world is one packed with decadent savoury snacks

I had honey and mustard glazed chicken drumsticks for lunch which Mrs Binners cooked a job lot of at the start of the week

My favourite barbecue nibble is chorizo and halloumi on a cocktail stick with a honey and mustard dipping sauce. Superb flavour combo!

Rice cracker, thick smear of goats cheese and a teaspoon of the fake caviar*.

*real caviar doesn't fit on the 'slightly decadent' thread theme

This, on oatcakes with houmous and a little rock salt.

And on virtually anything to be honest.

It's good, but more of a condiment than a snack!

Cold sausages from the fridge.

Depends. If I put six in for dinner (between two*) Then I agree.

But I tend to wap a pack in if the oven is on for something else and have some kicking about the fridge.

*Or one...

I just had a homemade sausage roll. Hard to beat that...

Unless maybe it was a scotch egg or pork pie

My higher chemistry class have a "bake it don't fake it" charity Wednesday bake, where one of us bakes and the rest donate some money, the final pot goes to a local charity.

Anyway, today we hade cheese and marmite sausage rolls. A definite favourite beating all the sweet bakes so far this year.

Hmm, I'm guessing I'm not very decadent. The closest I can think of would be smoked salmon and scrambled egg either on sourdough toast or German black bread. Though it probably be breakfast not a snack.

Yesterday evening, I baked a batch of cheese scones. Elevensies this morning was a lightly toasted cheese scone, a chunk of cheese, and red onion marmalade. Delicious enough, but I prefer my Stilton and cayenne pepper scones.

There's a local deli around the corner that bakes the most wonderful Chorizo sausage rolls.

Proper beef jerky for me. From the Saffer shop just up the road from me. As intended, and then when it's dried out too much given 10s in the microwave.

Gentlemen's Relish on thick cut heavily buttered toast.

Failing that I find the classic cheese and pineapple on a cocktail stick one step down from meth for moreishness.

Indeed. Mix it all in with loads of coarse grain mustard or Worcester sauce and black pepper.

I think of it more a sort of edible glue to coat chicken drumsticks in savoury flavours before you slam 'em in the air fryer 😀

We? Who? Where? A substantial meal? What have I missed?

Depends on where you get your scotch egg from, but the internet gives them about 3-400 calories. About the same as a duo Mars Bar, roughly, which is very much not a substantial meal. To make a substantial meal, I'd need to pair the scotch egg with other stuff, maybe a sausage roll and pasty and a cake. Or rather cakes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substantial_meal

Bonkers, like so much of what happened during lockdown.

In spite of the fact that the regulations made no use of the term, the press showed substantial interest in the definition of "substantial meal".....

Although ministers had no legal authority to define a "substantial meal", definitions offered by various politicians included one "you would expect to have as a midday meal or an evening meal", disregarding snacks such as crisps and chips; but not a Cornish pasty on its own, the PM's spokesman insisting that "bar snacks do not count".....

Newspapers published articles on whether a scotch egg constituted a substantial meal.[12] On 30 November 2020, the Environment and Food Secretary George Eustice stated that they "probably would count".

Absolutely nonsensical, although this is funny:

For example, "high-end crisps" served in "substantial portions accompanied with various elaborate dips" were considered a substantial meal in a 2017 Westminster City Council hearing, with the council congratulating the owner on "[creating] a 'non-Walkers' crisp offer and the desire to celebrate the great British potato at its peak and most hip".

Under the licensing act (1964) I learnt as a rookie cop in the 80’s it was important to define a “substantial table meal” to allow for supper hour extensions and the serving of beer cider and wine to 16 ur olds. In those days it was held that a substantial table meal was not less than a cheese sandwich with pickles.

Interesting to see how it was mangled for Covid restrictions.

smoked eel

Now you're talking. Trouble is all you get these days are piddling little fillets. When I were a lad you could get smoked eel as thick as your arm fresh from the smokehouse over the road. Well, when I was visiting relatives in Germany anyway.

South of France edition - tapenade on fougasse. Also croissant with cheese (local tomme Catalane or the next door farmer’s Camembert) and a slice of jambon cru. I reckon I need to cycle 100km just to keep on top of the calories.

From a Keith Floyd book.  1/2 french stick cut lengthways.  Thin slices of onion on top of each side.  Thinly sliced mature cheddar on top, then drape 3 or 4 anchovies over the top of each side.  Some black pepper and grill until cheddar and anchovies are golden.  Eat by dipping into lots of ketchup.  Magic combo.
