It usually depends on what I’m in the mood to cook. Last game night, I grilled steaks and roasted potatoes and made coleslaw. Time before that, it was burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and baked beans (I’ll never serve beans again ;P). I usually make a desert of some kind like turtle brownies or whatever or if I’m short on time, pick one up from the bakery at HyVee. This coming up Monday I’m making pulled pork and pasta salad. We always have chips or snackies and as far as drinks go, last time my old friend Jack Daniels made an appearance and let me tell you that made for an interesting game. Rip and I got into an argument (I was tipsy) over the logical use of a certain magickal item. I still say I’m right.

Anyway, I have been complimented on my culinary skills quite often. At least none of my geeks friends can ever say they go hungry at my house on game night.

I should add … role-playing in Australia and Japan is pretty low-key, there is very little of it and what there is probably isn’t very good. Here in London it’s completely different, though.

That would be fun. But British restaurants are often not so good…

Whenever I post about food, I get a faceful of how global this small community of like-minded chatty geek is.

There are strong chances that I’ll have to start doing buisness travels over the US and Europe soon, expect me to post about it and ask the Chatty Minions to meet in restaurants (and maybe some pick up games)

In Australia cheetos used to have the advertising slogan “Tastes good but!” (in this usage, “but” means “though”). I hate them though.

When I played in Australia we would have roast potatoes (put them on before you start), wine (Australian) and beer, and people would bring bread and humus. In Japan I played on skype, so my partner and I made the roast potatoes (but no humus in rural Japan).

Now sadly I am in a group that plays at a pub. The pub food is absolutely awful. So I buy Japanese takeaway from itsu (at the very branch where that Russian chap was poisoned) and eat it at work before I go. Then it’s just English pints from 6pm, and things go downhill fast…

Yay! I was welcomed! Which has nothing to do with the blog.

Since I’m off subject anyways, I’d also like to say I dig your anti-spam filter. If someone who reads your blog can’t figure out what these are, it definitely has to be a bot. And if I ever get denied to post for not recognizing it, I hope someone shoots me in the head.

Ah, foul Tequilus, god of porcelain.

I have two groups with two completely different gaming styles and different eating habits. With my casual “fluffy” group, the game takes a short pause at the appropriate cliffhanger and we all take a ride to the nearby Chinese take-out and get the lunch special. We then proceed back to the game, and character sheets quickly become placemats/napkins.

With my other, amazingly serious group, I find that those early to the session get to join me for a supermarket drive. The lucky few get to pick out favorite snacks that should last through the day, into the night, and beyond. This used to be followed with copious amounts of alcohol. However, that has been cut down on since our paladin spent an entire game in the bathroom praying to the porcelain god, so to speak.

My group always plays each Friday night at my house, where either I run, or it is my pal Dave’e turn to run. We usually rotate every 6 games or so. The food is always pizza ordered just before they all arrive, and I usually pick it up on my way home from work. The players pay for pizza upon arrival. Drinks are diet pop of various assortment with which I keep the gaming fridge stocked conveniently only about 12 feet away from the game table. The players often chip in for pop as well. Occaisionally snacks are also brought and shared during the games, but I insist the players wash hands before touching the highly detailed painted minis.

@Graham - the Bacon n’ Bacon sounds lovely! Mmm…

My Orlando group used to eat a mishmash of whatever people brought. The other drow (*cough*) used to cook stuff and bring it over. I would bring over break n’bake macadamia nut cookies (because those were the DMs favorite and it is important to make the DM your bitch! - yes, you can quote me on that). Nothing like cookies straight from the oven, even if they are break n’bake.

Our old cleric (of Celestial Bee fame), used to bring Oreos and milk for us.

Not sure what the new group is going to be like… finding out on Monday!
