Midnight snacks?

[Numbers]

I’m about to have monkfish curry, rice and black daal - a Doggy bag ensemble from a meal Mrs Numbers had earlier.

Would love a glass of R Whites with it.

Usually if I scoff at midnight it’s cheese.

I'm about to go to bed but I'm looking at a small bag of love corn and whether to nom it.

 

[Epona]

My tea usually happens around midnight, so...

Whole bunch of Asian people on the opposite tram line to where I’m going are carrying yellow big carrier bags embossed with LEGO.

Are they buying Lego?

I’m quite peckish. Is edible Lego a thing now? I’d shout across the platform but I’m can’t really shout right now.

Cereal is a conspiracy to make you die of diabetes.

I recently stopped having oat milk/oat products to replace dairy. Someone pointed out that replacing dairy with starch/carbs might not be that smart.

its mainly water though

Fair. But starchy water rather than fatty water. Both sound gross tbf

I eat either potatoes, rice, or pasta most days, the main thing here is actual cow milk causes N's guts to explode, whereas the oat doesn't, and I don't think the odd small bit of oat milk I ingest from time to time is going to make much difference.


I think soya milk is best if you want protein over carbs

Or nut milk?

Every individual will have their preferred and/or best type of snack depending on their constitution though I guess.

Oat milk is apparently higher in protein and fibre than almond milk.

I didn't know that!

Just add some melted lard to water - cheap and cheerful milk replacement.

Anyway, if you're eating at midnight it counts as breakfast.

Food in different timezones is tolerated. Woke up dreaming of roast chicken and stuffing. Then could do a curry tomorrow. Also chicken and stuffing buns.

 

[Dandred]

Shortbread and chocolate.

Fruit in the winter, big bowl of strawberries when I have a bath.

I got an ear bending for frying up some chorizo and duck eggs at 1am but I'd got such munchies it was well worth it.

Usually go for Greek yogurt and strawberry jam or honey but I was craving greasy salty protein.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Coconut rings shit biscuits with a hole in but full price . What was i thinking.

 

[gentlegreen]

Twice recently it's been a can of sweetcorn with tahini and mango chutney

 

[ouirdeaux]

Soya milk is the only plant-based product I can think of that is miles better than what it's supposed to be a substitute for. And I used to like milk.

Oat milk with oats feels...wrong, somehow. I have thought about this. I can't justify it. But I can't rid myself of the feeling.

Well that's double oats. Nobody needs double oats.

 

[Epona]

This is the thing isn't it, N likes muesli with oat milk and I feel like there's oat milk actually seeping out of the oats and making its own oat milk (which is something you can technically make at home with some oats and water and a bit of muslin or cheesecloth or a clean tea towel or sock even) if you just made the muesli with water.
Same with porridge. My great uncle was a great fan of porridge and he used to make it with water, salt, and dob of butter.
