Welcome to Celtnet's Snack Recipes Home Page — Here you will find links to each and every snack recipe listed on this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. A snack is an unusual food in that it's something intended to be eaten between the main meals of the day, or it can be served as a light meal or a starter in its own right. Typically sacks are rich in carbohydrates and fats (bread, potatoes, plantains, cheese etc); precisely those foods that were absent in our ancestral past. Indeed, the need to 'graze' on snacks between meals goes back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors and probably goes even further back into our ancestry. When food depended on having to hunt for it or gather it from the wild our ancestors would eat whenever the opportunity arose. Typically what was eaten would be fruit, nuts and berries and these still represent the best snack foods for us today. But when a rich source of fats and carbohyrate was found, these would be eagerly devoured as they were scarce in the diet. The need for salty, fatty and carbohydrate-laden foods remains hot-wired in us today and this is why so many snacks are deep-fried, salted, carbohyrates such as bread with toppings or potato chips (plantain chips if you're in Africa).
Many of the snacks presented here conform to the rules above. Some are simple dishes intended to be 'grazed on' during the day or eaten with drinks or as an appetizer. Others are more substantial meals that could be served as an appetizer a light dinner or even breakfast. Many of the dishes presented here originate form all across the world and many periods in history. You will find recipes for firm favourites and for dishes that you may never have encountered before. |
