[emnpaul]

Pretzels (have to be parkers)
Twiggy Salami.

Fermented meat goes nicely with fermented beverage, I find

So a good mettwurst/salami with beer goes down a treat. It's nice and fatty and generally pretty salty, so is a winner on that front, too.

Standing around in the back yard with a beer and eating sliced chorizo straight off the bbq is a nice way to pass the time in summer.

I don't think I read it here. But the beer isn't that fattening.

It doesn't have an enormous amount of carbs, really if any at all.
Putting on weight comes from the fact that we like to nibble, and nibble upon carbs and fatty stuff like already mentioned above.
You see, it appears that alcohol slows the metabolism by about 73%, meaning that whatever it is that you stick in ya gob, sticks to ya waist.

Ok, now that I've upset everyone. Carry on.

+10 for that stuff!

I've really been enjoying pistachio nuts of late. Me thinks they are called piss-tachios for a reason.

[earle]

Not that I've had it for a while but reading about haloumi in the resurrection of this thread reminded me of deep fried crumbed camembert or brie cheese. Had it in a few places when we were in Japan, including an outdoor food festival in Sapporo at -4C. Went down well with beer. No need for refridgeration of kegs at that temp.

[barls]

smoked olives or cheese in this house

[tazcat]

Eggs with deviled yokes and sliced pepperoni lightly fried for me.

[barrelboy]

I see your cayenne pepper and raise you 'Death Rain'.

One of my favourite tricks at work after drinks was to sprinkle some on the chips when no-one was looking

[barrelboy]

I fold doc, I love chilli ( grow it, make own chilli oil and sauces) but 'death rain' you win. Did your work mates know it was you and are they still mates?
Cheers BB

[hyjak]

roasted peanuts with cilli flakes and crushed sicuan pepper corns is a good beer treat.
plus the usual beef jerky

[drsmurto]

I no longer work there. A few of the lads knew I was doing it and yes, they are still mates.

[rotten]

I hope to catch a few mates with a few over the top chillis this year. My only problem is I car'nt find the ghost chilli seeds I bought from ebay
