Hey everyone,
I just had a apocalypse game of 40k which 4 of us were round my house for a big game. The game went on for 2 days. Obviously we ate a LOT of food during the weekend so I'm asking-

What is the best food for 40k?

Thanks.

Meatbread and water.

0 food and drink while playing, anything caffeinated and non-greasy/dusty/messy in the interim.

Doughnuts and beer.

At least what Brikwars dictates.

Beer, energy drinks, burritos and anything eaten with a fork.

Avoid Doritos/Cheetos - unless your models already have an orange color scheme. Basically avoid anything that leaves a residue/liquid/juice on your fingers.
Sodas and veg with dip (kept away from game table) are good, with maybe some finger meats/cheese (cubed ham - drained/dried well with a towel).

Any of those?

On a serious note: anything! Just leave things with a residue for the breaks, and wash your hands properly afterwards.

Dark Beer, energy drinks, protein shakes.

When you are done loser buys the steaks

Little cocktail sandwiches.

Seriously!

You can make them super tasty, AND you can eat them without getting any residue on your fingers. Plus, because they're one or two bites at most, you don't have to put them down during your move or risk spilling the filling!

Squigg goes with just about anything altho the residue can be bad for models... and the smell would be stronger than that of any of your opponents

Doritos and Mountain Dew?

Oh wait, better.

Dorito flavoured Mountain Dew! No more cheesy hands!



On a serious note, beer. No food, just alcohol.

We just did a big apocalypse and had the food prepared before hand for each break.

I had seasoned ground turkey meat in the fridge, so for the lunch break we did turkey meat tacos with typical fixings...

Then the beef stew was cooking in the crock pot all day, which was our dinner break.

We started doing this because it was cheaper and healthier than always ordering pizza.

That said, we drink beer starting at the breakfast break and continued until we're done hah.

Check out my blog to see our apoc game fyi: http://atticwars40k.blogspot.com/?m=1

Halkidik olives with lemon juice
Manchego cheese with chilli flakes
Feta and spinach pastries
Mini Lamb Kofta skewers with Tzatziki dip
Salt and cracked black pepper kettlechips with garlic and onion dip.

Drinks usually centre around ale (usually British), cider/perry (the local speciality as I live in the heart of the UKs brewing land) and Belgian biers.

We just go out to eat when people get hungry. I don't really understand the urge to snack constantly while engaged in gaming. At most, we have a few bottles of water or cans of soft drinks during games.

How can you even ask that? It's 40k! bring beer & pretzels of course!

When your mates travel over to your house, which isn't in a big town, it's good to provide refreshments for them. It means you can settle down to a decent-sized game and not worry about having to leave it for a couple of hours to drive to somewhere with a restaurant.


Depends where you live really

Yeah especially with apocalypse you've gotta have good available...

There is no greater combination than pizza and beer!

Mountain Dew and Pizza for me. Lots of Mountain Dew.

Booze and the occasional fly.
I'll eat/cook something during debrief.

Personally, beer and Mountain Dew go a long way. I do like my cookies as well. I love Maryland cookies (just me?)

No Food no Drink in Gaming room except for water

Bison burger patty cooked in bacon grease while wrapped in bacon with a nice layer of cheese - of your choice - stuck between the bacon and burger patty. slap it onto a pair of warm toasty buns and your good to go.

You'll definitely have to take a break from the game and wash your hands but it's quite worth it.

Arizona green tea was the drink of my gaming group we would go through a full case of the big cans during an apocalypse game and food? anything delicious preferably chicken nuggets

Beer and pretzels

Chinese food (well, American takeout Chinese food) and a Coke.

In our Apoc games, there is a coffee flat.
Soft drinks and cookies are included in the fee paid for the battle:
15 € for a shorter game til 4 pm. Otherwise 20 €.

In our old men gaming group (age 25-35) we usually drink beer (well, we're Germans) and eat fast food, preferably pizza. If we feel extra comfy we enjoy some Whisky during the games - ideal to sip during watching the others' turn.
