Lan Foods

[PsychoSmiley]

Mine usually consists of:

- water
- powerade
- muesli bars
- mixed nuts
- apricot delight
- vegetarian pizza come dinner time. Why vegetarian you ask? It has no meat, and thus I don't have to worry about it the meat going funky overnight meaning I can pick up a slice the next day care free.

It doesn't have any real staying power in keeping me awake but I don't feel like the bottom of a Cocky's cage in the morning.

Jerky is one I'll really have to remember next time, didn't think about that.

no id agree.

Im all for "hey we're at a lan, snacks time", but you still gotta have a wide assortment of nibbles.

Having the chips n nuts, choc is great. But you need some other savory stuff to break that sugar n salt up.

Also, like Chilled said you have to have a planned stop at some point for sanity sake to eat a full meal (even if it is a greasy one). A satisfied stomach does wonders for concentration

beer jerky and smoke is all you need

pizza, party pies, party saussos, and jagerbombs!

There is definitely plenty of room at our lans for fat foods that's for sure!

When i used to lan. I used to take:

Coke (caffine)
Chips
Chocolate bars

Anything else is too messey and takes too much time away from gaming.

If its a long, overnight LAN I always took a toothbrush and paste! May sound stupid, but at 5am after eating junk for 18hours straight, a fresh mouth really is refreshing and gets you through the remaining hours feeling good

We provide the following for purchase:

• Mars & Snickers (see local confectionery disty & buy a box)
• Cans of Coke (slabs from BigW)
• Usually some sort of alternative softdrink. Solo & Solo Lime, maybe Sunkist. Grab the 30 pack of cans when on special
• Chips - I like the Red Rock Deli multipacks
• Usually I have some sort of juice available too, as well as bottled water.

Depending on venue, we provide a BBQ for lunch and Pizza for dinner in entry fee.

As for going to Lans, I usually try and buy drinks there to help support the day, I know how much it helps. I usually take a few packs of chips & some sweets to keep my occupied otherwise.

And I think I have found the greatest Lan snackfood ever: Always Fresh Grissini. I love the Rosemary & Sea salt. Once I open them, I just cannot stop eating them. Woolworths/Safeway stock them.

Strange how despite Mountain Dew not being caffinated in Australia it has become a staple by many gamers.
