So if you're about to sit down on the couch with a controller in-hand, what food or snacks do you like to have, in order to give yourself the energy you need to tackle a night of gaming?

Personally, I can't go past a good pizza and a can of coke, if I'm home alone gaming at tea time. If I'm feeling like being healthy though, I might have something like this bowl, which is pretty good!
On the snack front though, I'm actually not much of a snacker tbh. But maltesers are good, as are chips (whether they're corn chips, or chicken/cheese-and-onion flavoured potato chips) on those rare occasions.

Unfortunately, I'm ashamed to admit that I've never actually had a calzone! I've always meant to have one, but just haven't gotten around to it...

Yeah, that's fair. I don't eat much while gaming either, unless it's something relaxed like X4, where I just need to set things in motion and can then be hands-free for a little bit.

yeah same here. hot drink and maybe biscuit or chocolate bar with it. don't really eat much while gaming since I'll inevitably get up to wash my hands before i touch the controller again

Oh man, yeah that's definitely limiting... Unless it's something I can play with one hand (and even then..) I always try and have a wrapper or something between myself and the food, otherwise I just have to go and wash my hands right away. Same with during board games, really.

Well, it's a bit late here, but I'll keep it in mind! I'll have to get one soon - do they do them in large sizes, such as for two people? Surely!
