Is this snack a balanced meal?

[purplepoppy]

Today's snack consists of crackers with smoked cheddar and duck liver pate, some dried apricots and dried tomatoes, a salami thingy, and gingerbread flavoured doritos. Plus coffee.

I reckon it covers all my nutritional needs

A perfect blend of food groups

Needs another cheese

Needs bacon

Replace coffee with beer

Oooh lovely and beige

Pretty sure this question is a joke, right? I'm not smart enough to tell. I'm answering it seriously for fun though...


It has no significant vitamin C. Dried apricots have trace amounts, but not enough.

It has little to no fiber. Crackers and a few apricots provide very little.


It's low in vitamin D, folate, magnesium, potassium, and omega-3 fats.

There are no fresh vegetables or fruits other than the dried apricots, leading to missing antioxidants and phytochemicals.

It's high in sodium and saturated fats from processed meats and cheeses, which isn't ideal in excess.

So no, I wouldn't call it a balanced meal. 🤓

I like it for a snack but it’s not a well balanced meal. But not duck liver I like Hickory Farm sausage. This is what I got for Christmas from my sister one of her gifts.

I am confident it would earn you a spot on the Great British Baking Show.

Smoked ham instead of doritos and it's prefect.

That snack sounds like quite a flavorful adventure! Each item offers a distinct taste and experience. For instance, duck liver pate is rich and indulgent, while dried apricots bring a sweet note to the mix. However, it may not encompass all nutritional needs for a balanced meal. A balanced meal typically includes a proper balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, along with a variety of vitamins and minerals. Enjoy the snack, but try pairing it with fresh vegetables or nuts for a more balanced experience. 🍽️

If @purplepoppy prepared it, you know it's good. 😀👍

[NathanDavis]

all that wrapped in a tortilla... and you can call it a bo'rri'to'

[Subgurl]

No, not enough fruit and vegetables. Looks yummy but is not balanced.

[AngryCarl2]

I don't see anything but empty calories. Might as well have a beer.

[Xawyx-2]

As a vegetarian, I would eat only the cheese, with crackers and tomatoes, and I would drink coffee.

[Staximus]

You sure eat some weird food combinations, we should start calling them "Poppy's Abominations"

[Redbeardviking]

It sounds delicious and I’d est it now if I had some!

[queenofcardio]

Looks balanced yeah

[Nikki1989]

Nope.

[WhitneySnow]

Needs more cheese and bacon

[DJB72]

As with most meals, it needs bacon.

[exitseven]

Bacon would make it complete

[beefcakebradybatson]

For you, I suppose. For me, well...

[fish5505_87]

I guess, close, what's the purple spread?

[douride2]

Needs BACON.

[Kingofkings1992]
