I know I’m not my own here when I talk about those twangs your stomach gets whilst in the middle of a session, as I’m sure you all get hungry whilst gaming, but what is the best food and drink to have whilst playing?

FOOD

Crisps: Crisps are a quick way to feed hunger, so you don’t have to take your eye off the screen for too long to pick up a crisp, they also taste nice, but they aren’t that good for you. Also once you have taken a crisp out of the packet to eat it your hands get all greasy and this will mess up the keyboard and mouse.

Sandwiches: A nice sandwich whilst you are sat playing will definitely conquer the mid-game hunger. But a sandwich will cause you to take your hand off of the keyboard and mouse for a significant amount of time to take a bite then to put the sandwich down again, however it won’t make as much mess as crsips.

Apple: 1 of your 5 a day…enough said?

Sweets: My personal favourite I have to admit, the food you can just eat as you want and won’t go off, or go cold. So you can eat sweets all day long without messing up the keyboard and mouse like crisps. Although most sweets aren’t that good for you they are what I’d prefer to eat.

Sausage roll: ummmmm….Sausage rolls. I love them lol. Anyway sausage rolls can be eaten hot or cold and shouldn’t make much mess, just like a sandwich they will defeat the hunger.

Toast: Toast would be quite annoying to eat whilst gaming because it will probably go cold before there is a suitable time to eat it, so if I was you I would try and keep well clear of eating toast whilst gaming. Also if you like butter on toast you may get your keyboard and mouse dirty.

DRINK

Coca-cola (bottle): A nice bottle of coke is nice to drink when you need a drink also if you have had enough you can just put the bottle down, put the cap back on and drink it later on.

Coca-cola (can): A fizzy drink in a can, can be good when you need a quick drink to quench your thirst. Unlike the bottle you cannot re-use it or fasten the cap to drink it later. On the other hand you can just put it down and keep drink it without having to open it.

Energy drink: My personal favourite. A quick boost of energy to get you in the mood to win. You will become more alert and will help on them all-nighters.

Water: Plain and simple just water, nothing special. What’s to say? Yes…it will stop you feeling thirsty.

Coffee: Again the caffeine content will help you become more alert and help on doing all-nighters, but this drink can become cold quite quick and it’s not as nice cold as it is hot.

So when you next feel hungry or thirsty whilst gaming, what are you going to eat and drink?
