Anything Becomes a Snack If I’m Hungry

Snack Time Is A Feeling, Not A Schedule


Hi listeners!👋

Welcome back to Gastrophile's Journey🥰

Did the title give away today's bite❓

Today’s bite is meant to be funny, weird—and maybe helpful too❕ for snackless moments.

    Desperate times = questionable bites


😖A Painful Scenario 

Just imagine you get an afternoon craving🤤

(Midnight cravings are interesting, but afternoon cravings are terrible😔!)

You start🏁 hunting for snacks... But find nothing.

  • No chips🍟
  • No biscuits🍪
  • No sweets🍮
  • Not even a single chocolate🍫

It’s just you and your hunger, circling the whole house 🏡. But you find nothing to end those terrible 😔 cravings.

How do you feel now? Gosh…

Sounds familiar❓ Here's what I do when that terrible afternoon craving hits.


Here’s What I Might Start Eating❔ (Yes, I Actually Do This)

#️⃣ Snacks why/How I eat it 

1. Roasted Rice 🍚 

For me, roasted rice is a lovable snack 🥨.

Just roast raw rice over medium flame🔥, and it’s ready👌.

Once, I added sugar syrup and made a roasted-rice bar. It was really tasty😋 

Crunchy? Yes. Healthy? No. Worth it? Maybe.

2. Health-Mix Powder 

We sometimes have health-mix powder at home 🏠.

Add a little water and eat it thick🥄—it satisfies hunger and is healthy too.

3. Lemon Juice🥤 

Lemon🍋+ water💦+ sugar = instant refreshment😊.

We almost always have lemons; if not, I buy one from the neighbour—he always has some.

       “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy❕”

4. Sugar—Just Sugar

Yes❗, a spoonful 🥄 of Sugar 

A tiny sprinkle quickly becomes a full spoon.

Sweet craving solved.

Note: 10/10 dentists 🦷 would not recommend.

5. Roasted Split Gram🌾

My evergreen💚nostalgic snack.

Small story📖 ( I'm your Storyteller right❓): When I was young [ still I'm young😅 I’d sneak handfuls while Mum cooked. She’d scold, "That’s for the curry🍛❕"

But our first priority is food 😉

I grab and ran🏃‍♀️ out.What a pure nostalgia💭 

Groundnuts 🥜or green gram work too.

6. Horlicks / Boost / Complan (Dry)🥛

Rare in our house 🏡, but if it’s there, I eat it straight from the jar🫙.

Who needs milk🥛 when you can dry-scoop❓

7. Pickle 🥒 

I could eat Grandma’s 👵 handmade lemon🍋 pickle forever.

Even without cravings, I eat it and drool. I’ll pair it with anything—even weird combos😜.

8. Coconut🥥 

We have a coconut tree🌴, so there’s usually one around.

Step 1: Find a coconut🥥 

Step 2: Crack it open

Step 3: Shred or slice the flesh

Step 4: Feel proud😊—eat.

9. Nuts 

Nuts is the brilliant choice 💡

Cashews and raisins live in our pantry.

Just a handful won’t defeat giant hunger, but they're classy 🌟while they last.

10. Vegetables & Fruit🍓 

When nothing’s left, raid the fridge: carrots🥕, cucumbers🥒—once even an amla.

Maybe it's your time,you’ll find treasure; then you’re the king👑, the boss❕

My Thoughts 💬 

These are the things I eat when cravings hit.

I’m not recommending all of them daily🗓️—just sharing ideas💡 for emergency afternoons.

Hunger does wild things to your brain🧠. You start inventing snacks and combining weird combos.

Maybe use a few of these to beat🥊 your hunger.

You rock💥, hunger shocks! 😉

🤔So Tell Me…

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve eaten when no snacks were at home 🏡?

Confess in the comments📝—I won’t judge; I’ll probably relate!

Until the next bite…

May your shelves always be stocked 

And may your hunger never turn you into a crazy🤣 food scientist👨‍🔬.

Bye👋 for now—see you in the next bite!

First Step 1️⃣Without Knowing

A journey of a thousand recipes begins with a single dish Hi Listeners ! Welcome back to Gastrophile's Journey .      Here, I share not just food — but memories made from moments. Today, I’m telling you the story of the very first dish I ever made in my life , for someone truly special🤗. Let’s discover what that dish was ❓— and who that favorite person is❔ From Zero to Sweet Beginnings Back then, I didn’t even know how to make a simple cup of tea or coffee☕. I was a complete beginner in the kitchen. But something sparked inside me — I wanted to cook something from scratch. Why? Because I wanted to gift it to someone I admired deeply. I chose my favorite sweet: Palkova — a traditional Indian milk-based dessert. And the person I made it for? My favorite teacher🥰. She was my class teacher and also taught Maths — kind, graceful, and brilliant. She changed my view from “Ugh, maths is hard!😧” to “Wow! I love maths!” Why Palkova, Why H...
