good source of fiber tho.

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.

Excuse you, that is called charcuterie.

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

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

Popcorn. And good grapes, the fat ones.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

do love some water-biscuits and cheese

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days 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.
