Mix thoroughly. Put on sandwich or ryvita crispbread.

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.

Asparagus and smoked salmon
Strong Canadian Cheddar and marmalade sandwiches.
Hard boiled eggs, remoulade, and hot chili sauce.
Stewed apple with digestive biscuits crumbled over them, and evaporated milk.

Smoked salmon, black pepper, lemon juice, and a mild cream cheese, on light rye.

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.
