What are the best salty snacks?

Hi all, I am going to be travelling soon and I was wondering what are some of the best salty snacks I can take with me?

I’m very dull and only like salted popcorn / salted pretzels. I’d like some alternatives to these in the similar snack range.

Pork scratchings.

(N.B. scratchings, not crunch.)

If you like cheese, try Serious Pig snacking cheese. Crunchy bits of slightly salted burnt cheese. Makes a difference from the crisp based snacks.

This sounds amazing. I love cheese. Not sure if you’ve seen the cathedral cheese pickle and cracker snack boxes.😍

Aldi do honey and lime and hot honey flavoured roasted cashews that I'm not allowed to buy any more because they're so addictive.

Also chilli rice rackers, wasabi peas (excellent with hay fever) and those Japanese covered peanuts, whatever they're called.

Red Leicester Mini Cheddars.

I could eat my bodyweight in those fuckers.

Same idea, but biltong should be slightly wet and fatty

Christ no. Biltong has no sweeteners and is air dried.

Yeah exactly. It's just flavoured dried meat.

There is only one answer, pork scratchings.

Prawn crackers from a Chinese takeaway. Bacon Frazzles are probably one of the saltiest crisp-style snacks.

Salted caramel popcorn could be a game changer.

Pork scratching are obviously the winner, but Lidl do some peanut flavoured wotsits that are great too.

Legitimate_Finger_69@reddit

Always amazed peanut isn't a bigger crisp flavouring here. Most of the Middle East it's thee default flavour for any Wotsit type snack rather than orange cheese.

Roast salted pistachios in their shells. Best salty snack in the world.

Thisss. I haven't eaten them in literal years because once I start, I can't stop. So its better to stay away altogether

[-]

Legitimate_Finger_69@reddit

How do they get the salt into the shell and onto the nut through that tiny little crack? That's human ingenuity for you.

Good idea! Thank you. I love any roasted or salted peanut. Home bargains do a brand called “nobbly nuts” which are really nice.

Try the 'Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli' ones, they're so moreish

[-]

Ok_Recording39@reddit (OP)

Those used to be amazing! I feel they don’t put as much seasoning on them anymore :( same with their crisps so they don’t taste the same anymore

[-]

TK Maxx have excellent snacks, I really like the salted edamame beans. The graze mix bags are good too, the salt and pepper one, or salt and vinegar flavour. I really like the pea snacks (green crisps shaped like pea pods) that you get in Chinese supermarkets too

Salted broad beans

Turtlefrog89@reddit

Ritz crackers

Pork scratchings and also salted sweetcorn both come to mind.

[-]

Ok_Recording39@reddit (OP)

Omg I completely forgot about salted sweetcorn I used to eat it all the time in uni (they gave out 100s of free bags at freshers) and that’s all I would snack on lol. Thank you for reminded me! New snack fixation
