Whadya Munch When You Drink?

[Jim Karr]

Ain't nothin' better than somethin' CHOCOLATY.... I know I'm running the risk of "pairing", but a gooey brownie or some chocolate ice cream just plain complements the taste of a good beer!

I actually try not to snack while I'm drinking. I'll usually eat a pretty solid meal before I'm getting my drink on, but I work at a snack food manufacturer, so there's always bags of snacks around my house.

I was wondering how long it was gonna take to make the connection there. Good job, brewtus...

 

[cubbies]

It depends. Like brewtus, a lot of the time I go drinking after dinner, so I dont crave snacking. But sometimes, I will snack when i am just having a couple of pints around the house. Typically I go with the reduced fat wheat thins. I am addicted to those things. I love em. And of course beer always goes wonderfully with pizza and wings.

Anytime I have Guinness I usually have a couple of Reisens chocolates with it. The flavors don't really mesh that well, but I like it!

I also have english muffins with any sort of beer, they always seem to go well together for me.

Oh, so close...but no cigar. I don't usually eat chips, but I'll make an exception for these (cooked in lard, baby!): http://www.utzsnacks.com/products/grandmachips.html

Ever try Martins? They do a lard version. Best thing about Pennsylvania ( and being living in dutch country ) is it is the snack food capital of the world There are dozens of local patato chip manufacturers ( can even but them still hot!) plus pretzels, cheesteaks etc. They make stuff that I have never heard of before. Pittsburg rocks for junk food too, some really wild sandwich combos that would go great with a homebrew.

Utz Party Mix

or if I'm out, BAR FOOD. A good bacon cheeseburger and fries will do it.

im a meat man so to my beer i have:

Dried meat
Dried salted meat
Dried salted smoked meat
Barbecued meat
ive even ordered some pounds black pepper jerky from the states (to sweden) loved it.
And then we have this hungarian guy that makes tasty spicy sausages here for stores... i usually buy a couple of kilos right from the smoker
from him ... yumm yumm

Any spicy meat really!

Dare I say "Oreo" and launch the cookie vs biscuit discussion? (Biscuit!)

Never thought about that one before... give me a min...

Cookies are just another word for biscuits. Different issue from the crisp / chip / fry problem. A chip in Oz is a Crisp and a "Hot Chip" is a Chip / fry.
They have no "crisps" here, just chip.

All said and done they are all good. btw I am on a diet just now and hanging out for chips, fries, hot chips, cold chips, fried potato slices, fried potato chunks, wedges...

Two words CHEESE NIPS!

I just plain laugh when I see 'pairings' in regard to drinking AG beer and food. Those folks just ain't me.

Me and my ilk just like good beer, THEN eat, so's we can get home safe and not F*** up a good buzz while we're at it.

To me, hands down, it's peanuts-regular, lightly salted peanuts (in or out of the shell) that just make it all work.

What's your nutritive intake, when imbibing?

*Note- if you are the 'pairings type', please!, don't post here...PLEASE!

9 out of 10 I eat whatever is around
1 out of 10(sorry Henry) I try to make something(usually on the grill) to compliment what I have to drink.
I'm a baker so food is an important part of my life.

I Never have to get home with a good buzz, I get home and then get a good buzz:rockin:

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Peanuts salted in shell .... until last year when I eneded up in the hospital for 6 days , diverticulosis , perferation and all . Though I should'nt have eaten half a pound for dinner . Afraid to even have a few now .

Yuri you missed out the cheese curds...........mmmmmmmmmmmm cheese curds

Squeak squeak...

 

[HenryHill]

nJim, and everyone -let me be a little more clear; the eating comes after, the munching peanuts -during.

Beforehand, I lean towards black peppered jerky.

And I specify buzz, not being wasted....
