It's time for two of my favorite things: snacks and Harry Potter. What could be better? Absolutely nothing! But we can't always have everything we love. Sometimes, we need to make the tough calls and big decisions. As much as we'd like to enjoy all of the snacks, we simply can't. We have to decide which ones we really want and which ones we'd be fine to pass on.
Because our taste in snacks really does say a lot. Chocolate, chips, sandwiches, popcorn? We may not think that means much but it certainly does. Maybe our sweet tooth reveals something about our personality - perhaps that we are creative, soulful or social. And maybe a craving for salty foods or sour candies means that we are ambitious, musically talented or gifted with a funny bone. Who knows? Well, this quiz does. And it also knows which Hogwarts house we all belong in.
See, the Sorting Hat was kind of busy. He's just one hat, after all. And we all know we're not supposed to share hats for hygiene reasons. Plus, we'd all have to fly to England, run through the wall at King's Cross, take the train and wait in line at the Hogwarts Great Hall. Who has the time and money for that? Not me! So instead, let's get our snack on and see which Hogwarts house we really believe in. After all, our tummies know best!
Pick or pass?
Let's start off with a classic: I'm talking about chips and dip. This time we have tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa. Doesn't this look so good? I'm salivating just thinking about it! The chips look oven baked and still warm. That guac is a great color and the salsa looks so fresh and delish! Are you in?
Pick or pass?
Are you looking for a slightly healthier snack? What about some almonds? Almonds are the go-to snack for anyone looking for a healthy option. Almonds contain lots of healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium and vitamin E. They're great for reducing blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Are you picking or passing?
Pick or pass?
Another healthy option: what about a banana? When it comes to bananas, everyone seems to have their preference. Some people like them sliced and some people like to hold onto them and take bites. Some like them ripe and some prefer them less ripe. Where do you stand on bananas?
Pick or pass?
Doooooonuts! Did you say that in the Homer Simpson voice? These donuts look so good! I'm loving all the colors, the glazes, the icing and the sprinkles. Sure, donuts aren't the healthiest snacks in the world. But they sure are delicious! How could you say no? There's a donut to satisfy whatever flavor you're craving.
Pick or pass?
How about a nice grilled cheese sandwich? Are you a fan of grilled cheese? If you're lactose-intolerant, this dairy rich option might not work for you. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty sweet sandwich! My only complaint is where is the ketchup? It looks like there's only sour cream and pesto or guacamole.
Pick or pass?
Gummy worms! This classic childhood candy can make some people so happy and others, not so much. Do you enjoy gummy worms? Some people like to put them in chocolate pudding with some Oreo cookie crumble to look like worms in the dirt. Others eat them by the fist full. And others just abstain. Where are you at?
Pick or pass?
Wikipedia tells us, "The madeleine or petite madeleine is a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France. Madeleines are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions." Are you in for one of these?
Pick or pass?
It's time for some oatmeal raisin cookies. And yes, I'll throw in the delicious looking coffee drink here! Where do you stand on oatmeal raisin cookies? They're one of the healthier cookie options, but they are still sweet cookies filled with sugar. No chocolate chips here! Are you biting in?
Pick or pass?
Would you want to be unwrapping a chocolate bar right now? I certainly do! This one looks like a classic milk chocolate bar. There's not a ton of fancy things. I'm not seeing any caramel, waffers, rice crispies or nuts. This one is all about the chocolate! It's rich and sweet and delicious.
Pick or pass?
It's time for a big sandwich snack. Now, for some people, a sandwich is more of a meal than a snack. But how do you feel? Would a sandwich make the perfect snack for you? These two sandwiches look fully loaded. They've got lettuce, tomatoes and lots of deli meat. One is on bread and the other is on a bagel so you can have your pick.
Pick or pass?
What do you say to a cupcake? I mean, who can really say no to one of these? Not Crabbe or Goyle, that's for sure! This cupcake looks simple enough and certainly isn't one of the icing-rich ones. This one seems a bit more simple with just some sprinkles on it. Are you a fan? Are you taking a bite of this cupcake?
Pick or pass?
Pancakes as a snack? Sure, why not? If you're one of those people who loves breakfast for dinner (or any time of day, really), then this snack has your name all over it. I mean, look at that stack! It's a pretty tall stack and there are lots of delicious fruit all over it. Clementines and blueberries would be so yum!
Pick or pass?
Popcorn. Enough said, right? Popcorn is a big staple in the snacking community. Some people can't even imagine watching a movie without a huge bag of this good stuff. Others are not so into it. Some people like it with butter or some seasoning and others want it all natural. Some enjoy the microwave versions and others want it in an air popper. What say you?
Pick or pass?
Thoughts on a cheese plate? This plate looks to be almost more crackers than cheese, which could work for some people. There also appear to be dips, some dried fruit and nuts and other little munchies on the table. Is this your idea of the perfect snack or would you be looking in the fridge for something else?
Pick or pass?
Taco time! Who can resist a taco? Especially one that looks this good and fully loaded with stuffing and flavor? I don't think I've ever met a person who doesn't enjoy tacos. But there's a first for everything! And some people only like certain types of tacos with certain fillings. Where do you stand?
Pick or pass?
Who is in the mood for some pretzels? And these aren't just any old pretzels. These pretzels are covered in white chocolate. So you get the perfect combination of sweet and salty all in one bite. They really are the perfect snack. But maybe not everyone agrees with me. What do you think?
Pick or pass?
Okay, after all that chocolate and cheese, we're heading back to something a bit healthier. Check out these fancy loaded crackers. These crackers appear to be multi-grain and super good for you. They have a light smear of cream cheese and are topped with things like tomatoes, cucumber and psinach. What do you think?
Pick or pass?
Of course, we had to bring in a classic. You can't go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie! It has to appear on the snack menu somewhere, right? Everyone has their opinion on whether chocolate chip cookies should be hard, chewy, flat, cake-like or something else. Would you be biting into this one?
Pick or pass?
Back to a healthy snack! Where do you stand on blueberries? Are they one of your favorite berries or would you pass on these for something else? Blueberries are a super fruit and totally healthy for you. They're high in anti-oxidants and low in sugar. But are they your choice for a snack?
Pick or pass?
Someone decided to take open face sandwiches to the next level with some super fun, colorful and healthy toppings. Instead of a regular PB and J, we've got cream cheese spreads and lots of great toppings. These bread slices hold tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, lemons, radishes, and more! Are you digging in?
Pick or pass?
How do you feel about pepperoni sticks? If you're a vegetarian or against processed meat, this probably isn't the snack for you. But if you're looking for something salty, chewy and similar to beef jerky or a sausage, this will totally hit the spot. Would you reach for a pepperoni stick at snack time?
Pick or pass?
Sorry, vegetarians and vegans. You're going to want to pass on this one. We've got a sandwich classic, that some people prefer to eat all on it's own, salami! Are you a salami fan or not so much? Do you have a preference for a type or flavor of salami? Will you only eat it with pickles and cheese?
Pick or pass?
Okay, veggie lovers, you can come back to the quiz now. This is a good one for the health nuts too. How do you feel about snacking on a big bowl of salad? This salad looks super fresh and colorful. I'm loving the spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes and carrot pieces. Are you digging into this or opting out?
Pick or pass?
Could we do a snack quiz without fries? Probably not! Now, these aren't any ordinary fries. Look at these bad boys! These look like some fancy fries with pieces of parsley, maybe a little garlic and a hit of truffle oil. Would you be eating these up or passing on the fries?
Pick or pass?
Another snacking classic! This time we have nachos up on the menu. Are you a nachos fan? I mean, is anyone not a nachos fan? There must be someone out there who doesn't enjoy tortilla chips with cheese, meat, guacamole and salsa. But these look so good! How could you not want to join in?
Pick or pass?
It's time for another sandwich. This time, we're working with an artisanal loaf of bread. Look at that bread! That certainly isn't the sliced bread you find at the grocery store. That looks like it was freshly baked this morning at a local bakery. And the toppings look great. Big pieces of cheese, tomato and maybe some slices of salami.
Pick or pass?
Who is in for a smoothie bowl? Smoothie bowls are all the rage these days. And it makes sense, because they are so pretty! Who wouldn't want to eat something so colorful, beautiful and healthy? Instead of drinking your smoothie, you can put it in a bowl and add fun toppings like berries, pineapples and seeds.
Pick or pass?
Would a piece of cake and delicious mocha suit you at snack time? I certainly would not be saying no! This combo sounds like the yummiest and most decadent snack. I'm loving the look of this layered cake. It looks like it could be a caramel or toffee cake, or maybe even a carrot cake. Bottom line: it looks yum!
Pick or pass?
We're going back to basics here. Would you want to snack on crackers? For some people, crackers all by themselves might be a bit boring for snack time. It may feel like you're chomping on cardboard. And for others, simple snacks are better. Who has time to make little cracker sandwiches anyway? Are you in or out?
Pick or pass?
Would you dive into this delicious bowl of yogurt and granola? Yogurt and granola is a breakfast staple but it would also make an excellent snack. I'm really loving how this bowl also has peaches, blueberries and maybe even some candied walnuts. It's so bright and inviting. Plus, it's pretty healthy!
Pick or pass?
Are you picking or passing on this burger? I know, a burger usually isn't considered a snack. It's more of a meal. Especially when it comes with fries and a drink. But let's say it's snack time and someone offers you a delicious beef burger with all the fix ins. Are you saying yes or no to that?
Pick or pass?
How do you feel about spring rolls? Spring rolls make a great snack when you want something savory but you're not hungry enough for a full meal. They're light but still full of flavor. They can be vegetarian or meat filled. You can even get seafood ones if that's your jam! Hungry for a spring roll or ten?
Pick or pass?
We're back on the health train! Snacking can be fun but can it can also hurt the waist line if you're only ever snacking on burgers, fries and cookies. So what about a delightful cup of cherries? These ones look super fresh and nice and sweet. You know what they say about fruit - it's nature's candy!
Pick or pass?
Now let's say it's snack time and you're not feelign super hungry. You're more thirsty. You want something warm and cozy that will fill your tummy but not make you too stuffed. So would you reach for this delicious caramel latte? There are even some little cookies to go with it. Perfect snack or not so much?
Pick or pass?
How would you feel if you opened up your container at snack time and discovered a homemade blueberry muffin? Are you a muffin fan? Does the blueberry work for you? Or would you have preferred chocolate chip, orange cranberry or all bran? Maybe this one is lemon blueberry, if that makes it any better!
Pick or pass?
Ready to get really fancy? This is the kind of snack that you slave over. It's the kind you serve when your fancy relatives are in town and you're trying to impress them. These are stuffed mushrooms. Impressive, right? Would you want to snack on these? Are you a mushroom fan?
Pick or pass?
Are you nuts for nuts? How about walnuts? Walnuts are a great healthy snack. They contain iron, selenium, calcium, zinc, vitamin E and some B vitamins. They're also a good source of fatty acids - the good fats that we're supposed to be eating. Of course, these ones look caramelized, so they might not be as healthy. Oh well!
Pick or pass?
Look what we have! Cupcakes are back on the menu. And these cupcakes are not messing around. They each have a healthy serving of icing on top and a little sprinkle. How great do they look? These look like chocolate cupcakes with a mocha flavored icing and a little crumble of coffee cake on top. Want one?
Pick or pass?
We're going back to basics. This might be the snack you make for yourself on the fly when you want something filling and healthy but you don't have a ton of time. We have crackers and a nice spreadable cheese. Classic. Dependable. And super easy to throw together whenever you're feeling a little hungry.
Pick or pass?
How could we not have talked about ice cream yet? Of course, ice cream is a great snack choice! Technically, it's a dessert, but what is dessert if not just a really fun and sweet snack? This looks like a scoop of maple pecan or maybe butterscotch ripple. And I like that it has a cone but is still in a bowl. You get the best of both worlds!
Pick or pass?
It's time for pizza! Sure, pizza might be called a meal and something you'd grab for lunch or dinner. But when you want a bigger snack, what could beat a slice of pizza? Deep dish or thin crust, vegetarian or meat lovers, stuffed crust or multi-grain, and pineapples or no pineapples - all pizzas are allowed here!
Pick or pass?
So instead of a big food snack, you're going all out on a big drink snack. Here we have an absolutely decadent hot chocolate. You can tell this was made with actual melted chocolate and not just a packet of hocho mix. Plus, check out those melted marshmallows on top! And sure, you can even have a cookie with it!
Pick or pass?
We really couldn't make it through a quiz about snacking without talking the ultimate snack food: chips! I'm talking about good old fashioned potato chips, or crisps, in flavors like salt and vinegar, sour cream and onion, barbecue, all dressed, dill pickle and even orginal. Are you into chips?
Pick or pass?
Did someone say churros? I sure did! Churros are deep fried pastries and the Spanish or Portuguese version of an American donut. They are fried batter and then dipped in sugar. And these ones even come with a cup of drinking chocolate - which is thicker and richer hocho. It's the perfect thing to dip your churros into!
Pick or pass?
Now here's a snack that is a bit of a mash up, but a mash up of very delicious things. We've got bread (yum), chocolate spread (yum) and strawberries (yum). Sure, it's not a traditional sandwich but everything on it is delicious! If you want something sweet and fresh, this would be a great little treat!
Pick or pass?
We're back to ice cream! But this time, instead of a bowl of maple pecan that you scoop for yourself at home, you're headed outside to grab a cone. And the flavor on deck is vanilla. Do you think vanilla is a classic or way too boring? Even if it is boring, you get to enjoy it with that view! Are you picking or passing?
Pick or pass?
We're taking something that looks like it could be breakfast or maybe even dessert and we're turning it into the ultimate snack! What could beat a Belgian waffle covered in syrup, icing sugar and banana slices? Almost nothing if you love breakfast food and have a sweet tooth! Are you saying yes to this plate?
Pick or pass?
Okay, we have to balance out all of that sugar and salt with something a bit healther. Here we have a slice of watermelon! Are you a watermelon fan? This classic summer fruit is beloved by many. It's a great way to rehydrate and get red stains all over your mouth. Are you grabbing a slice or opting out?
Pick or pass?
Yes, we're still being healthy over here. You know what they say: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Are you avoiding the doc and sticking to the apples? You can have your choice of apple variety. We've got Granny Smith, Macintosh, Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Ambrosia and so many more! Want one?
Pick or pass?
Last but not least, we have these delicious deep fried dumplings! Dumplings are like Asian perogies, filled with delicious vegetables and meat, and then dipped in sweet sauces. They can be steamed or fried, and these ones definitely have seen a deep fryer. Are you grabbing a plate of dumplings or not?
