The Munchies / Snackin' thread. Sponsored by the Wiz

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Grew up in North Delta and there was a pig farm across the street run by chinese folks with kids the same age as me. One lunch from their Mom's wood stove had me turned off westernized chinese food at a very young age.

Did some one mention my name ;)

I know that people love ketchup chips even in the UK

But I never could see the attraction. Dip regular plain in actual ketchup?

Being served perogies by Hunky Bill himself at the PNE and going over to the bandstand and mamboing the night away to the sweet sounds of the Dal Richards Orchestra with your best gal.

Old Vancouver at it's finest ;)

The mother and daughter tandem that used to own the Flour Bakery in the village here used to make what they called their Horseshoe Bay bar which was basically a reverse Nanaimo bar.

But yeah. Nanaimo bars too...

I don't like dips much.

I like my chips dry and crunchy (the way God intended them).

Also ketchup has vinegar in it and I'm not a fan of dat dere.

And I'm guessing the chips have other seasonings and extra monosodium glutamate.

But the biggest thing is, other chips disappear but no one ever steals my ketchup chips!

Anyone remember O’Ryans sour cream and onion? They disappeared years ago. But those and Thunder Crunch kettle chips are sorely missed.

Old Dutch Double Dutch were awesome too. The narrower krinkle cut but twice as thick and crunchy.

If not chips then Snyder’s of Hanover make some killer pretzels.

Purdy’s Mocha Melties are wickedly good.

Am I the only one who loves those things?
Yes. You’re the only one.

I’ve tried them, and they’re edible, but as a potato chip flavour they rank right at the bottom alongside some lychee potato chips my daughter brought home from China, lime &mint potato chips and apple pie flavoured potato chips.

I thought it was supposed to help or is that only the apple cider variety?

Apparently, Americans are willing to pay Amazon to have Crispy Crunch delivered to them. I remember they were in the US in the ninety's when I spent so much time there but it stopped. They're an acquired taste. I hated them as a kid. Now, if I have the need, that's the one I want.

I love pickled herring, but I've never had fermented herring. Is there much difference between them?
