Mine is Popcorn! Not that crappy greasy microwave zhit; not that air-popped flavourless ordure that tastes like foam packing chips. Real popped in a tablespoon of sunflower oil and salted with real theatre popcorn salt popcorn.  mmmmm,popcorn  Butter not required. A whole grain cereal with all the roughage you require and tastes a lot better than bran flakes. :lol:
Of course you have to accompany that with caffiene based colas to stimulate your kidneys to excrete all the salt.
I also recommend a stove top popper with a rotating handle to stir the kernels while popping. Usually no more than 5-10 unpopped kernels out of a half cup (125 ml) of popcorn :-D
Oh yes, beer works as well or better than colas. :pint:

Hmmm, all the KFCs around here close at 10/11 PM :-(
No kebab shops to speak of around here either, but there's plenty of donair shops, yum!

Another good snack is Ramen noodle soup.  19 cents a pack and ready in 5 minutes.  Throw a couple of inches of a green onion chopped and half a cup of shredded mozzarella.
Ummmmm, comfort food. :banana:

Anyway, you folks in the Nederlands have yet to apologize for that deep fried gravy ball I got out of a vending machine in Amsterdam.  What the hell were you thinking. :shocked:

At least the Ricetaffels more than compensated.  Ummm, Nasi Goreng :-D

Gosh, I almost forgot another great snack.

Green Onion Cakes with Chinese Rice Vinegar and/or Vietnamese Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce.

Just made from flour, water, more salt than could possibly be good for you, a little oil, and chopped greens onions.

You have to make these by hand, as I found out when I burned out my mixer. Actually a lot of the taste seeems to be helped by the preparation (makes it flaky when fried).
Personally, I recommend Canola or Sunflower oil, although Peanut might be okay. Just never tried Peanut though.
