Gaming eating habits

We were talking about eating habits people have while playing games.. Like consuming insane amounts of caffinated beverages, favorite game snacks?

I'd like to see what other people's gaming eating habits are.. whether you have some quirky thing you do , or know a guild mate who does something out there, like always eating bbq ribs during a raid :)

    My eating and gaming take place in different places of the home and I don't like to bring food all over the place.  This helps me keep my keyboard clean and grease free.  In general I don't eat while I play anything, I do however have a glass of juice of some kind sitting around.  No caffeine beverages for me, I don't see the point.

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    I don't really eat and game. . .

    But then again I'm not really a "foodie" either. I don't like eating, and I can't eat when I'm not hungry. . .

    Meal times for me is a social enagagement.

    There are no computers anywhere near where I eat.

    I have a newspaper to amuse me if no one else is around.

     

    I drink a lot of beer when I play games if my friends are over.

    Actually I eat less when I'm gaming. I just don't want to take a break from the action and walk to the kitchen to get something, even to eat at the keyboard.

    Mostly my poor eating habits occur when I'm bored, not when I'm engrossed in doing something.

    My wife and I live (though we are moving this weekend) in a 1 bedroom apartment so we both basically eat in the living room area where both the TV and the computer are located.   I really play where I eat by feel.

    I would say most of the time I eat at the computer (desk has a pull out spot meant for a keyboard but I use as a tray to keep food away from the keyboard).  If either myself or the wife is just cooking up a quick meal I eat at the computer.  My wife will even bring  the food over to me while I am playing (usually with a kiss and a "don't let it get cold.")  But if one of us is taking the time to cook a nice meal then I will definately stop playing and sit with her.

    I usually have water or soda on the desk and very rarely a snack.  Most of the time it will be cookie or chips (easily grabbable in between button-mashing).

    If I am by myself and doing a gaming session, I will skip meals because I am not big on eatting as it is.  I only eat out of necessity.  So if I am playing a game and I am not REALLY hungery..I will put off eatting until much later than normal.
