Currently it’s peanut puffs, which is basically puffed maize flour with peanut coating. Although, mainly because the local shop has a brand, which gets the peanut flavor perfectly.
On second place is lentil chips. I prefer them to potato chips, because they actually fill you up after a while. I really hate how you can shove multiple bags of potato chips into your face and hardly notice it.
this going to sound dumb, but my local Regal has these godawful greasy pissas, that just hit the absolute spot while watching a new bluckbuster
It totally depends on what I’m watching and my mood. I’m not a big snacker, so I usually make a meal for gamedays. My favorite superstition is “Eat Your Enemy”, so what I make depends on the opponent. Typical options are Chicago style hot dogs, Minnesota hot dishes, poutine when the Preds play the Habs, St Louis style ribs, smothered burritos, etc.
It’s just a silly excuse to look into regional favorites and learn new dishes. Plus in my reptile brain my efforts are helping the team, which is totally a possibility… Right?
Beer.
Yes
Stress-drinking beer while yelling at the tv seems to have become my go-to.
Sports games is peanuts. Movies in the theater is whatever I can sneak in. Movies at home is a burrito dinner from that place down the street I can walk to.
My favorites:
- dark chocolate
- spicy chicharrones
- spicy chips
- ice cream
- … a full blown dinner in bed with GF with the very convenient trays we have
Can’t go wrong with a bowl of chips. Maybe turn the subtitles on too.
Popcorn of course. I make it just like the movie theatres.
How do you make them? I could never make them like the movies. Never “crisp” enough
Coconut oil with beta-carotene, put enough in the bottom of your pot to cover it. Put 4 kernels in once the oil is liquid and heat it with a lid on over medium low to medium heat. Once those pop it’s hot enough to add the rest of the kernels. I prefer yellow, but white gets really crispy almost like it’s fried. Once the kernels are in shake in some flavocol salt. Not too much, you can always add more when it’s done. For best results stop when the popping slow to less than one a second. Then shake well in a big bowl so the distribution is even between the earlier and later popped corn.
Freshly made warm popcorns ftw!
I got so upset when my local movie theater started bagging and keeping warm popcorns… it’s just not the same!
Popcorn of course. I make it just like the movie theatres.
Here they order large sacks of pre-made popcorn which is then poured into the popcorn-machine (when no customer looks too closely).
