Bon Appétit's Top 10 Foods for the "Munchies"

Posted: 05/20/10 06:09 PM ET

2010-05-20-images-batter.jpg

Wednesday's New York Times featured a piece on "haute stoner cuisine" by one of our favorite food writers, Kim Severson. After reading it, we took a look at our recipes and realized that, although they weren't created for this reason, some of them might just satisfy the cravings of an altered state. So while we would never accuse you, dear readers, of having the munchies, here's what we think would work if you're entertaining someone who does. Below, find ten classic "stoner foods"--just ask anyone who's seen Dazed and Confused--made a little more delicious.

(A note of warning: Your stoned guests may want to order Chinese take-out and tackle a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Don't worry, they'll still be hungry for these snacks after they've finished that.)

I keep a bag of ghirardelli's white chocolate chips around.

yup, baking chips, you get almost 3X for the same amount of $$

and it's easier to control how much you eat----------------

Man! Stoners today just don't eat what we did in the '60s! Munchies were any potato chip available and anything else in a bag and ready to eat! Who prepares a mean to eat when they're stoned? Crazy!

Everything but the burrito (without the chicken) and the pie look pretty gross.

Even stale saltine crackers are pretty good when you're in an "altered state", who are they kidding? Who has the ambition to make half that stuff?

Orbit bubblemint gum the chicklet kind....I get the little bucket with 60 pieces. I chew it until the flavor wains, toss it and pop in another piece. It helps with that late night sweet tooth. It's not like I'm dieting I just love the flavor. I have been known to go through 30-40 pieces and hour.....

My fave munchie food is a crispy apple cut up into bite-size chunks, drizzled with AL LOT of honey, and sprinkled with cinnamon. Delicious, and perfect for studying late at night....

Some of these don't really register as 'munchies' that much...spaghetti and meatballs, burritos, mac & cheese, these are more of a meal.

No Doritos, Funyons, Fritos, Donuts or Cereal?

I don't know what kind of munchies these people are talking about... I must've wandered into the wrong thread.

Exactly. I can only guess that they have never been stoned. Also....what about pizza? What about Snickers bars?

That's why Americans are so obese. How about celery sticks with a dab of peanut butter? Or snacking on fresh fruit?

um, lol. celery ain't gonna cut it. now, a bowl of berries with...oh let's say hemp milk...yeah, sounds good. and whipped cream. or berries warmed in the oven with melted shaved chocolate. like the swedish dessert "gino"....with whipped cream. and extra whipped cream on the side for whippets. and a dollop of peanut butter.

Potato chips and/or ramen. I'm no gourmet eater when it comes to the munchies.

It is 11pm here in Germany and I just finished making a nutella mousse cake - the recipe is from Gourmet. That mousse is so tasty, I could have eaten the whole thing whilst making it. The cake is now chilling in the fridge and I am feeding my sweet tooth with hot chocolate.
