The 'lime' is not a fruit but limestone, which is reacted with the corn to
increase the amount of an amino acid in it.

On the corn chips, the touch of lime is the fruit. A current fade is corn
chips with lime juice flavoring. They're ok on occasion, but I generally
prefer my corn chips plain.
We often do corn chips and homemade salsa and/or guacamole. STeve makes a
kick-ass salsa and my guacamole gets rav reviews. We also keep popcorn around
for spur of the moment snacks. I try to keep things like fruit and veggies
around as well. Green grapes are great frozen. We also like to buy cans of
fruit when they are on sale and pop them in the freezer until they are just
barely frozen. As good or better than ice cream.

Re #25: in this case, it really is the fruit lime, but the expression is
"hint of lime". See http://www.neckofwoods.com/wp/archives/date/2004/01/

How much vitamin C comes from the 'lime'? Can you taste lime fruit?

I can. I love those chips. And I don't eat them for servings of
Vitamin C.

My favorite snack is gardettos. It's a mix of pretzels and rye chips and
french bread sticks. It's been a favorite of mine for years and i don't think
i'll ever loose interest in it.

I'm also big on shrimp cocktail, especially if one knows how to make
really good cocktail sauce.

My choice of snacks varies with what's at home - from cake rusks to "mathries"
(i'm not even sure how to describe tehm - deep fried something made with wheat
flour is closest I can come to)

re 31: I have a great recipie (not sure if I posted in kitchen or not,
I think I did in an appetizer item) for a fiesta shrimp coctail which
is my favorite way to do it now. It's not the cocktail sauce, that's
the same, but you marinate the shrimp in stuff.

For a sweet and salty snack: melt a bag of chocolate chips in the microwave
and then stir in a bag of small pretzels. Stir til pretzels are coated. Spread
them on a wax-papered cookie sheet and place in freezer for about a half an
hour to harden the chocolate. Break into pieces as some of the pretzels will
be 'stuck' together, place in a ziplock bag for easy storage.

[re38, it was one of those things I made up on the spur of the moment when
I wanted to find a way to use up some leftover white choc. chips-and had
almost a full bag of pretzels.]

(Probably cheaper than a package of chocolate-covered pretzels. :)

While doing my grocery shopping yesterday [had to go before the snowstorm!],
I was able to get a 'name-brand' bag of pretzels on sale instead of having
to resort to the store brand. It doesn't take much to thrill me these days.
Ok, I'm rambling; I'll shut up for now.

1. Popcorn. I have so much PopSecret in my cupboard it isnt even funny.
2. Potato Chips. I've become a potato chip snob, and I usually seek out
different brands, although potato chips are basically the same. I love Better
Made for some odd reason.
3. Wise Cheez Waffies and Jay's Cheese Wheels. These are little cheese
sandwiches that are totally salty, but very addictive. I found the cheese
waffies at Barry Bagels here in Toledo, and the Cheese Wheels can be found
at the Alexis Rd Meijer gas station
4.Watermelon. Meijer has these little bowls for 1.75 and it's a pretty
decent pick-me-up.
5. Salsa and chips. See #1. I have a TON of salsa.
There is a brand of chips from Mansfield, named Jones who has an odd
guarantee. If for some reason you dont like them, they will come to your
house and pick them up of course in the Mansfield area only, but I think
it's pretty cool to have a guarantee like that.
6. Pretzel Balls, and chocolate pretzel balls. Meijer in Bowling Green
got rid of thier stock of chocolate pretzel balls for .50 cents a bag, and
true to form, I bought 6 bags of them. They are damn good. I also on occaision
eat pretzels.

re45: there's one of the Orville Redenbacher kinds of popcorn that I really
like [microwave form]. But nothing beats Orville using an old-fashioned
popcorn popper with a bit of salt and butter. Too bad I no longer have a
popper [er, maybe that's a good thing.].
I like the Tostido's [sp?] brand of chips to use with salsa, though my salsa
needs to be mild. There was a kind of salsa that I brought awhile back that
I really really liked; I wish I remember what the brand was. It was like
home-made.

I love air popped popcorn. I dont like putting butter on it because it
makes it too greasy. But I dont have an airpopper anymore. OH well.
Luckily there are microwave popcorn brands that arent too greasy.
