I assumed prawn crackers like krupuk (kroepoek)
Fried version is like this

That looks about right. I can eat a bag at a time even if it is flavored corn starch!

They're not hard to make just I've not gotten around to it.

I’ve never seen them so that’s a no

That’s what I’m talking about
I’ve only eaten half a bag though the avocado and prawn and bbq chicken drumsticks have taken up too much room.
Although there maybe space now for a macaron or two.

Prawn crackers ( the hard, multicoloured discs you can buy, for peanuts) are great fun!
Not absolutely convinced they taste much of prawns, but who cares?
They're crispy, they're fried, and they melt in your mouth. What more could you ask for?

 

[badjak]

I'm not a fan of the coloured ones.
But if you want them more prawny: put in the microwave instead of deep frying.
Try 1 or 2, just for fun

I did not think of that! I microwave poppadoms and love watching the blistering transformation but never thought about prawn crackers.
Anything I need to know about microwaving them?

They stay about the same size, so the flavour gets quite intense.
It takes seconds.
Just try only 1 or 2.
It works, but I a not a fan.
Now pappadamms is a different story. They do great in the microwave

So today I bought
12 x 500 ml savanna (cider)
3 bottles gin (as they were on special)
12 tonic water (as you can't drink gin without tonic)
And roasted peanuts
Plus 11 kg malted barley.
Thats booze done for quite a while

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

as you can't drink gin without tonic

Luckily you can drink tonic without gin though!

You could, if you really have to

(Just joking, i quite like tonic on its own, although I quite often use half tonic, half soda water)
