What snacks do you like to eat while reading a VN?

[PrincessOfFinch]

Just thought this would be a fun topic! Do you like to have snacks during reading? If so, what are they? Or do you prefer to take food breaks and then get back to it?

I eat everything at the computer... but my favored snacks (as in, non-meal food) are my local store-brand cheetos (the HEB brand crunchy ones are better than the real ones, lol), cold noodles (prepare a bunch of thick sphagetti, stick it in the fridge to cool, then cover it with a sauce made of chili oil, peanut oil, coconut milk, and a small amount of unsweetened creamy peanut butter), and melon-flavored powerade.

[Plk_Lesiak]

This thought makes me feel cosy... Whenever I actually have a day off and can read VNs properly, the combo would be coffee and either crackers (with sesame or poppy seeds) or Pringles chips. I'm not sure what's the general consensus on mixing coffee with salty snacks, but it became a habit of mine over the past few years. Also oatmeal/wholegrain cookies.

That sounds unusual but I'd probably try it lol. Jealous you have melon flavoured Powerade though!

And coffee!

Because I read novels during the night. I do not know why, but is more easy for me.

Haha me too! I like to eat sweets while reading something more light. Kinda similar to how Lucky Star will make me want sweets lol.

 

Salty snacks with coffee is probably a thing but I don't usually mix them myself since I prefer sweet things with coffee. I love oatmeal cookies though

What kind of cookies?

[Naterocks2000]

Sometimes I eat cereal while reading or I'll eat a granola bar or two. I tend to only eat small amounts while at the pc but if I'm playing a game like The Witcher, I'll eat my lunch/dinner at my pc too.

Usually nothing, but sometimes baby carrots and hummus. Trying to keep things to 1500 calories a day...

Hummus is good though!

Earl grey tea! With milk.

If I'm gonna eat I usually take a break to do so.

I love Earl Grey! It's my favourite tea

As for tea, I recently almost completely switched to japanese green tea - mostly 煎茶 - and sometimes I'm drinking it while reading VNs too (preferably with some cookies too ).

Funny thing, up to around year ago I couldn't possibly imagine that I would even remotely like green tea of any kind

Yeah green tea is strange but personally, I love it

I was biased against it for a long time after some bad experiences with instant ones brewed too long and using too hot (=boiling) water. When I first tried properly brewed green tea (I think it was at one small japanese restaurant^* that quickly became my favorite place) I instantly loved it.

 

* too bad that it's open only Mon-Fri, 10-16 and not in my city, so I can visit them only during my holidays or when they do saturday special events once in a month. This place is true 穴場 ("hole in the wall") - little shop, hidden somewhere in former industrial district, with just a few seats and two ladies running it - but with absolutely delicious, home-like cooking.

I sometimes drink hot tea, but I drink mostly water when im reading. I also take a break, when I'm eating. I get easily distracted, so I like to be able to focus while I'm reading. The same goes when I'm reading books and mangas.

Yeah I can be like that too. I don't eat full meals while I read but I like to have chocolate or some salty snack.

[Stormwolf]

Bag of potato chips and some sugar free soda and im aaaalll good!

[namiultedjapanXD]

Usually I just drink tea/hot chocolate (depends on what im feeling that day). I never eat anything now that I think about it.

I love the auto-read function because it enables me to eat peacefully while reading.

I mostly eat huge quantities of ice cream, cakes or many slices of bread with Nucrema on them (It's like Nutella, but much cheaper). (I take advantage of my ultra fast metabolism).

Sometimes I eat grapefruits and drink tea or Cola.

I don't snack between meals.  Every time I eat or drink something that isn't water, I have to brush my teeth.  Though even without that restriction, I always preferred a regimented eating routine.
