NOT YOUR RUN-OF-THE-MILL FOOTIE SNACKS: healthier, budget friendly, make ahead

There is also the problem of the ''maybe we could try something different next time? Not criticising!'" brigade. 

These original 67goingonon50 recipes are not the standard footie snacks but they are fabulous and popular.  They are also either all or part-made ahead, wallet-friendly and healthier than normal.


Forget about the same old, same old potato, sweet potato or celeriac wedges!
These crispy deep-fried Zucchini sticks are a winner.


Crisp Zucchini Fries, Baked not deep-fried: tasty and better for you



DEVILLED EGGS WITH A TWIST:
Eggs are cheap and cheerful but these stuffed eggs are a cut above.  One has tuna, delicate flavours & crunchy bits; a veggie version includes avocado
Devilled Eggs for the Now Generation with tuna, frugal, easy-peasy
Devilled Eggs with Avocado (& Ham): low-fat; (remove ham for vegetarian option) 


Instead of the usual 'hot' spicy wings, try these exotic Oriental wings - they repay the adventurous eater




NOT CHILLI CON CARNE AGAIN!!
Tired of chilli?  This wonderful hamburger soup is a more than worthy substitute.  It's not kids food -- all ages hoover it up like there's no tomorrow.  With 500g of beef mince at around £2 for 500g/1lb*, it's frugal. Properly cooked, it is low in cholesterol and will warm body and soul.  Serve in mugs or sturdy paper cups with a spoon.




Garlic & Chive Breadsticks  are the best alternative going to traditional garlic bread even if you're usually go for the butter-free version of garlic bread.  The breadsticks are soft and chewy.   They have a strong golden crust.  They taste sensational - salty, garlicy and lightly oiled.  Best of all, they take almost no time to prep (though forming the sticks can be a tiny bit iffy.)
