I'm very old and the amount of snacks I'm allowed to eat (if I don't wanna die sooner rather than later) has been reduced to fancy trail mix

they don't actually make the trail mix I like so I have to purchase all the components separately

 

Sun Dried Mulberries (seriously good)

Sun Dried Strawberries (Yum)

Sun Dried Gooseberries (fantastic)

 

Raw Smoked almonds (I gotta make these myself)

Salted Pistachios (shelled of course)

Hazelnuts 

 

Occasionally I cannot find one of the ingredients and I have to supplement to get that chewy/crunchy ratio back

In those cases I use Sun dried blueberries and or Apple Cinnamon cheerios (never apple jacks)

coconut and chocolate have too much saturated fats for me but ymmv. Enjoy! 🙂

Dried cherries are amazing btw. I also love dried bananas.

Ibuprofen and Benadryl.

 

Aside from being predisposed to allergies, my parents smoked like chimneys the whole time I was growing up. I'm rocking some truly EPIC allergies and sensitivities. Benadryl has quite literally saved my life on multiple occasions. I take it often as Epi pens are gawdauful expensive but good ol' diphenhydramine is cheap as dirt. Well, very nice potting soil might be more expensive. I try to always have some in me. I occasionally have blood running in my veins as well, but it's mostly benadryl if you poke me.

 

I'd like to, before I die, take a trip to George Rieveschl's grave and pour out fourty pink capsules for my ILLUSTRIOUS dead homie.

 

Since I'm allergic to so many natural foods, I subsist on mostly artificially-flavored snacks. They may be horrible for you, but tree nuts would kill me in MUCH shorter order.

 

Diet Coke and other aspartame-sweetened drinks are my favorites. I don't care for the taste of sucralose, but aspartame and sugar-alcohol are okay in things like hard candies.

 

One natural food I do like to have is oatmeal. I'll often munch on uncooked rolled oats. I am also blissfully NOT allergic to apples and stone fruits, ironically meaning I can have almonds in small amounts. I get sulky if I don't have a bag of apples, but a supply of fresh, dried, or even canned cherries, peaches, and apricots are super welcome by mah gaming desk.

we call those "pork scratchings" - they are deep fried strips of pig skin, salty and seasoned with various flavourings. Uber unhealthy but sooooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious and almost mandatory with a good pint of ale!

Fruits. Usually berries and Earl Gray tea, hot.

I just got some hot Cocoa mix for the ongoing snow lately. I am also a fan of everything else you listed.

What is Typhoo - a brand or a flavor?

A brand, quality VS price it is pretty good for a staple tea.

The only way to get an "Ooooo" (allegedly)

I use a combination of keyboard and mouse to play, so I have to have both hands free. That usually means no snacking while I'm playing... I almost always have my favorite Aoi vanilla matcha tea or some kind of coffee around, though.
