Oh, my! those poor tuna fish will soon be extinct. Use Spam instead.

Use Squam -- the secret ingredient is tree rat.

A smear of bitter-orange marmalade {Duchy Original thin cut Seville particularly recommended} can enormously animate a home-made hot-dog ~ fresh from fridge frank in a fresh white roll.

tiny tomatoes (she sez. finishing one)

seedless green grapes

frozen seedless green grapes eaten straight from the freezer so they melt in the mouth!

I used to love banana, tahini & peanut butter on any wonderful whole grain buttered bread, must buy some tahini again. And make the peanuts I bought last week up into very crunchy peanut butter!

At the moment, I think my salad box plus cheese sandwich is as popular as anything at home.

I just chop/slice/cut/cube whatever is to hand or I fancy and put in a plastic box which is kept in the fridge.

Last one was grapes, onion, tomato, cucumber and from our garden: lettuce, chives, mint, lemon verbena and radish. Later in the year, I'll just be using stuff from the garden (although not our grapes - they are sour).

A favorite since childhood (thanks, Aunt Lorna!) - eyeball sandwiches. Nice squishy bread (I prefer whole grain), peanut butter and fresh green grapes. YUM! Better than any jelly, for sure!

A mix of peanut butter & almond butter (crunchy) with honey on a piece of warm multi-grain toast.

Honey varies, but I prefer 'tangy' honey with character. Leatherwoood honey from New Zealand is my choice, but hard to find anymore.

MtheGM

A smear of bitter marmalade also works well with good pork sausages (free range I hope). Never tried them with a hot dog, but I shall. Also now wondering about grilling it with a pork chop (but that's hardly a snack, I admit).
Favourite snack de jour is a fried chicken sandwich:
Fried chicken left-over from a roast well seasoned, a lettuce leaf, between two slices of buttered toast lightly smeared with mayonnaise.

Thanks for the grapes tip - I usually only eat them with Brie.

Max ~ agree re sausages also. & with pork chop, or with duck: both meats that can be served à l'orange, after all.

Mmmmmm, some pretty good choices. They sound more like meals than snacks to me. Sausage with Scotch Seville marmelade and biscuits (egg with it) is more of a full meal. But old strong Canadian cheddar with biscuits and marmalade is a snack that tastes so good that it expands into a meal.
Some favorite snacks-
A good creampuff and Guatemalan-Mexican coffee at 10AM.
A good tamale at 4PM.

The former are available here, but no good tamales. The best I remember were sold by a street vendor, in corn husks wrapped in hot towels and packed in a lard bucket.

A sliced banana with milk and brown sugar.

One I have not had for years and only mentioned to someone the other day. Sort of 'mini pizza'. Toast (any sort - white works for me) cut into fingers and spread with cranberry sauce. Topped with...


Wait or it...

Anchovies!

Mmmm. Must get some this weekend.
