The recent demise of the inventor of Doritos got me thinking: what junk food, I mean snack, goes best with your wargaming?

Starting with Nacho Cheese Doritos

Dynaman878927 Sep 2011 5:36 a.m. PST

Popcorn, no butter. Anything else gets the fingers greasy, and greasy is bad.

Greasy Cheeto pizza and syrupy rum-laden fruit drinks served in leaky unwaxed paper cups, unless we are playing at my house, then pretzels and warm beer (I don't want bottle condensation to drip on my terrain).

bruntonboy27 Sep 2011 9:47 a.m. PST

I always find a good paperful of fish and chips with plenty of vinegar always helps me win games. Probably because it puts off the opponent.

Who asked this joker27 Sep 2011 12:23 p.m. PST

Anything that does not stick to your fingers or leaves a residue behind. Love Doritos but they are definitely not one of my favorite gaming snacks for the mess.

Given up for good27 Sep 2011 1:36 p.m. PST

Pork Pie with salad cream – must be the cheap own label creams to give it a bite.

Really? And its not that easy getting Spanish cheeses in downtown Wollongong I can tell you….

2012-1812 is going to be a challenge – theres only so many interesting snacks you can make with beetroot and cabbage….
