What's your main random snack food when your tummy rumbles?

Most of us eat two or three meals a day. But I assume most of us "graze" occasionally between meals. I'm going to make a smoothie for breakfast today before going hiking with a friend. But I just had a bit of my current random snack food while waiting for the dishwasher to complete its cycle.
My random snack food is a bit eccentric: hearts of palm dipped in Marie's blue cheese dressing. Hearts of palm are kind of like artichoke hearts (often used in salads), but they're a smooth column in shape. I think they actually come from palm trees. I also usually keep slicked turkey or sliced lox around, and will just cut some off and gobble it up, without bread, when my tummy rumbles.
What is your default snack food when you're just toddling around the house between meals?

We have kids here, so there are tons of random snacks lying around. But for me, it might an apple or banana, Trader Joe's version of Pirate Booty, some dandelion greens if I have it, a handful of baby spinach, string cheese, a handful of almonds or walnuts, a forkful of kim chee or sauerkraut . . . lots of random snacks!

As you like a lot hearts of palm, I thought to let you know what exactly they are. Heart of palm is harvested from the inner core of certain palm trees, mainly the coconut. In Italy we call them "palmito". I like to make a salad with hearts of palms and shrimps.

It depends on if I have anything at all @TheHorse but if I can swing it; a PB&J sandwich.

@nanette64 It's true! My grazing evenings are marked by near-terminal laziness.

I like carrots and blue cheese, sometimes chips if i'm craving salt. It just depends on what my mood is and what i am craving.

I may be a small person but I can eat like a horse. Though I'm not a breakfast person, I try not to skip it but I eat light. And I need to have my snacks or I'll die. Burger, fries, fried noodles, dumplings, these are just a few of my in between meals.

I usually have some type of fruit, pony. (I just ate a banana.) I also have a peach and a plum on my bedside table.
What is "slicked turkey"? (I know lox is cured salmon. I wouldn't eat it, but I know what it is.)
Earlier, I cut a slice of ham and ate that without bread.

@TheHorse How can you only eat half of a banana? They are so good I eat the whole thing!

@DaddyEvil I like them but don't love them. I save the rest for a later smoothie.

Nothing specific for me. Just whatever candy, chips, fruit, or baked goods we have at the time.
