Snacking is killing me.
Am I a dork for suggesting snow peas, carrots, or fruit for snacking?

snow peas (and snap peas) are great. I like edamame too, and shishito peppers. Decent snackage.

A prof I knew as an undergrad got me to try munching on ginger chunks. Very much an acquired taste, but it definitely some zip to it.

Marky, it's fucking mangetout they're talking about. I knew it would be an English thing they'd renamed.

I thought mangetout was a category of veggie where you eat the whole thing.
