Quick Snacks to Pack

Are you the type that’s constantly on the move; from one place to the other, you are always everywhere, can’t even spare fifteen minutes to have a decent meal. more like you are the workaholic, or simply someone who just prefers having a snack when you get bored or hungry. You Somewhere in the bus on your way back from work or school, you starving what can you eat, before you die (Lol), well I did this for you;

Health wise snacks aren't advised to be consumed in large quantity, just couple bites and you supposed to call it a quit, but some are just too tasty, you can’t just live without (Lol). I too am big on snacks and here in Lagos its apparent we are blessed with many mouthwatering ones’; I did my homework to try couple of them out before writing this article, you won’t like all, but must like one

·         Beef Sausage: this one is the first item you should have in your hunger first aid kit, relatively cheap and easy to consume, you will find it everywhere, even if you are in a moving vehicle, guys are always hawking it, there are many different brands, which offers you a wide range of choice. I like this but like most people, am also tired of it.

·         Potato Chips: I like this one really much; very crunchy and spicy, also very cheap, very retail friendly, you probably find it anywhere just like the beef sausage. As good as it is, be careful there are many, that doesn't taste so great.

·         Plantain Chips: This one is pretty old, everyone has tasted it, plantain prepared in a special way. Plantain chip is quite cheap, but like the potato chip they are many brand with different price range and a very different taste.  My advice, be very picky when buying.

·         Roasted Plantain: Also popularly known as bolly (Delicious), best when served hot, prepared locally by few specialist, you won’t always find bolly around, make sure when you see one, go and buy it. It’s not packaged or branded so the taste solely depends on the person selling the roasted plantain, it’s a trial and error something, once you find a good one, always come back for more.

·         Packaged Meat Pie: Stumbled upon this recently, it’s worth the price. Cheap and packaged, allowing you to smuggle it with you anywhere you go, still new to old snack lovers like myself. Next time you see it, don’t ignore, now that’s and order not an appeal (Lol).

·         Packaged Cake: Like the big one’s very yummy and delicious. It comes in different sizes and taste, there’s a taste for everyone, buy it and that’s money well spent.

·         Jam Donut: You won’t find this commonly around; if you do, you must be really lucky. University and polytechnic students are the witness to the delicious taste of the home made Jam donut. This is every student must bite.

·         Egg Roll:  Healthy and delicious, there’s no harm in having an egg roll. Cheap and easy to find, but be mindful of where you purchase your egg roll from, some people are dirty.

·         Puff Puff: My childhood favorite, most people mix this up with buns, but there aren't the same, puff puff is the smallish round oily balls that have a smooth surface. This isn't so portable, in the sense that you can’t eat it anywhere due to its strong aroma and bad packaging.

·         Buns: Just like puff puff, it goes back in time, I prefer this one to puff puff, because of it has less oil compared to puff puff. It has a rough surface and is more filling.

·         Chin Chin: Lol; we all ate this one when we were little kids, and till today some of us do eat it. I don’t like it much, because of the noise you make when eating it. It is packaged and has many brands distributing it, find your favorite and satisfy your tummy.

And there you have it, snacks you should pack for stomach’s emergency. Please be mindful to inspect the snacks you buy, especially the locally made ones, your hygiene should be considered before you go about consuming any of them.
