Great, now I really want some chips.

It's fucking 1 am buuwwwuuu. ;o;

Maguma, make me some damned chips.

Trail mix. Nom.

seconded

>>1571389
first i got a pineapple to cut, and i'll do you one better and make you latkas

pizza. portable and smells O so good after a long con day. Also useful as a prop if you are dressed as C.C or Dante.

>>1571385
my favorite con foods? fast food, Pizza, Subway sandwiches, hotdogs, croissants, muffins, cheese

I love the Japanese candy they sell at cons, though I'm a fan of the teriyaki cart too. I also like going to local pizza places in costume and returning with a fatty slice of cheese pizza. The rest of the year I'm at home eating raisin toast and drinking apple juice...I wouldn't be surprised if I gained five pounds at a con.

>>1571394
Subway is also amazing.

I don't start a morning at a con without em.

>>1571392
My Nan has a pineapple cutter. Who knows what bargin bin she got that out of, but if I have to eat one more bowl of pineapple to sustain her amusement with it I'm going to have to bury it in the garden (the pineapple cutter, not my Nan).

Currently there's several bowls full of the stuff in the fridge.

room service/hotel restaurants. hotels make the best waffles.

>>1571408
:O you give me all that pineapple and I'll make you chips foreva. I promise <3 i'll bring some from home for AX too~

and you so wanna bury your nan, don't lie |:<

>>1571389
Ai, you don't need French Fries.

I loveee turkey, cheese & lettuce wraps. I make a bunch before I go, and store them in the fridge. :)

>>1571415
Despite the enjoyment she gets from waking me up early in the morning by hoovering outside my door I don't want her dead. :[

My Nan is a bizarre old lady. There's tins of food in the cupboards older than I am and she gets angry when I try to throw stuff away. She's the only person I know to get attatched to six month out of date pickle and a year too old Weatabix (which I should mention tastes exactly like dust).

I usually bring those lunch-to-go Tuna packets, but damn! Those fries look good! I wanna get those at a con. . .

Beef Jerky in general, but the old location for Katsucon had a 24 hour McDonald's right by it, which I loved for 4AM Fillet O' Fish.

>>1571419
.. I don't?

>>1571385
cum on fries and having the girl eat it.

>>1571444
aren't you the romantic

>>1571405
Ohmigod lucky charms in the morning always make me happy

>>1571438
Too fat

>>1571453
Ai fat? Not even.

Since I only go to AX, ramen and sushi at little Tokyo

While absolutely terrible for you, I've always enjoyed those massive muffins that Otis Spunkmeyer is so good at making. The chocolate ones are the best, but only in moderation. I swear, it's like biting into a massive chunk of chocolate and not giving a damn because it tastes so damn good but oh God, where can I get a glass of milk?

>>1571444
Delightful.

>>1571429
I should mention this behaviour isn't restricted to just food either. I went to make myself a lemsip when I had a shitty cold a few weeks ago. It was two years out of date and a nice beige colour instead of yellow. I complain, she hits me with a newspaper, then when I go to throw it away she takes it off me telling me not to be wasteful.

Oh yes, because really old lemsip is really going to make someone feel /better/.

>>1571453
You should probably try telling that to someone who /isn't/ 10lb underweight.

I have no time for eating of a con...

>>1571429
> a year too old Weatabix (which I should mention tastes exactly like dust)

Just like regular Weetabix then :P

>>1571519
I like regular Weatabix! I kid you not, this stuff dissolved into a grey bitter smelling mist before my eyes. Mind you, by the time I've put sugar and shit on mine it may as well have been dust anyway.

>>1571469
I don't only go to AX but I also love the ramen and sushi in Little Tokyo. BOWLS BIGGER THAN YOUR FACE!

I always bring breakfast bars because they are portable. I used to try and bring food to cons, and then I realized I never ate it so now I just bring soda and booze and buy my food.

*hits self for spelling Weetabix wrong twice*

con food? we're supposed to eat at cons?

My group always tends to bring along weaboo food.
Udon noodles with beef was pretty much what I lived off of last year for a "meal".
Trail mix and protein bars are something to carry abouts to eat though.
This year we're all just going out for lunch for mexican food due to Bleach cosplay.

>>1571551
This.

I think on average I managed one burger/pizza/etc during a con and usually a handful of chips. That's pretty much it for the whole con for me usually.

'Course the liquid diet fills the blanks.

>>1571390
Seconded but I make my own Trail Mix and share with random people.

Best is to get a small bag of good quality trail mix then seee what else you would like in it then buy those ingredients then keep mixing. I've got like 6L of custom trail mix made of fucking win and good stuff following an awesome method of making it.

Chocolate covered coffee beans for the muthafucking win. Tho having personally been on those beans for a length of time I can confirm you start to see things after ~3 days (the con) on that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugvVvGUHajs&feature=related

Tho it's best to watch from part 1 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJ0C1fAlQE ) and cue it to 07:33 for the trail mix start segment.

Good useful info.

I tend to pack my own snacks and food if/when I can then buying food at the con which isn't always good and expensive and small portions. A friend of mine brings US G.I Issue MRE's while I sometimes bring freeze dried food that only needs hotwater and 5 mins to have a good hot meal.

I have used Alpine Aire and thier stuff is pretty good. Best to get it when on sale. http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_listing.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302695547&bmUID=1232

Most hotels I've been too have coffee there or you can aquire hotwater or the hotel room has a coffee pot inside already. Add hot water and you're good to you.

I've had the fries with ketchup when I was at CNAX and I've had Pizza Pizza ordered in at Anime North. Pending how you pack and carry your gear or if you plan on going my route I've had a friend that take a single portable burner stove to the con before and made ramen noodles all weekend and kept his luggage very light weight as he was sharing a room with 8 other people.

Denny's.

Lumberjack slams for the hangovers, or to fill your stomach for a third of the day until I get hungry again.

>>1571402
Tilly ou find out those little brown/black spots on the cheeze or meats from the clerk working there that dropped on the floor then when no one is looking puts it back into the display.

Eggs Benedict every morning of the con.

Lat con I went to I subsisted on lunch and dinner at regular times at the con hotel restaurant, and usually either got the soup or a burger.

Con before that I ate breakfast, forewent lunch and ate dinner.

Other than that- Subway.

>>1571423
Made my own buns and sandwiches and fridged it then freezed some box drinks. The box drinks keep the stuff fresh and having a bunch made I just carry a soft cooler bag to the con with a few large ziplock bags and when I'm at the hotel I load up on the ice and put it inside the cooler which tends to hold everything at a safe temp for about 5-6 hours at a time then I return and reload the ice and end up with noramlly 2 days worth of food and finish that first then on the 3rd day if I have any left I either eat or bin it then use some money for food at the con. Saves me money to use for other sutff.

I try and stay away from the junk food...because it makes me feel like crap.

I am all for large delicious meals for dinner, and smaller yet filling meals for lunch.

as far as breakfast is concerned, I usually eat some granola bars.

>>1571589
Thats why you don't ever fuck with the people who handle your food.

DINNER FOR MAGUMA!

Favorite con food would be whatever the hell I can find that doesn't have meat in it because I'm too lazy to bring my own food. I usually end up eating french fries for lunch and dinner. Bah. It's nice when there's a Chinese restaurant around, so I can just have a tofu substitution.

breakfast burritos, AriZona tea and pizza

>>1571601
I wasn' the only one that comented on that at the Subway so it wasn't a targeted incident on me. I just stayed away from that and when in doubt I tend to stick with fried stuff which at least I know has had high heat oil to cook it. Yes it's not as healthly but at least it is less a risk of some sub stuff with raw items around.

There's a cafe at the one con a year I go to and his has this delicious noodle salad. Con Traditional to have one for lunch on Saturday.

McDonalds
or
Rice with Beef and Broccoli.

>>1571577
interesting. i may try this next time but i'm sticking to hotwater only meals as i have to fly to some cons and fuel tanks i'm almost sure off can't be in carry on luggage or some fuel types can't even be in checked in luggage as well. i tend to without checked luggage myself to cons as in the past ive lost a number of expensive tech/items/luggage/etc. chigacos ohara airport is fucking famous for losing shit all the time.

protip: i've done this a lot while flying and bypass a lot of lineups by declaring at the check in fo rmy tickets that i have firearms. it doesnot have to be a working gun or even looking like a gun. for all intensive purposes a reciever is the acutal gun even if you don't have the barrel, stock, etc.

because you declared that you have to check in firearms you're allowed to lock you bags with non tsa locks but the check in agent will have to check your item to make sure it's unloaded and you'll be scooted to the front of the line and and have you bag scanned quickly and the scanner agent will be noted that your bag has been pre-checked.

this always pisses off people when they're lined up like 100 people in line and you can walk right pass them saving you like an hours line up time. :) when you travel to canada tho you can't use airsoft or real firearms parts to get around the line ups. just buy a cheap ass hard plastic/rubber gun and claim it as a 'theatrical prop' and you get to pass the whole line up.

http://www.thelasthope.org/talks.html and the specific talk which i learned of this and used it when flying is here

http://tinyurl.com/b2tyol

Since my friends and I usually have a lot of spare cash on us, we either order pizza or room service (usually from the children's menu since adult portions are huge).

For snacks, we usually munch on granola bars and/or cookies. We drink lots of water during conventions to keep ourselves hydrated.

At night: BOOZE.

Anything not from the convention center itself. Fuckers charge an arm and a leg just for a damn hot dog.

I usually forget to eat and subsist entirely on soda.

>>1571630 http://tinyurl.com/b2tyol

I'm listening to this right now. The guy sounds like he knows his air travel shortcuts well. I'm only 5 mins into the talk and this guy has a lot of useful info.

I tend to have pizza at the cons but I'm always on a budget and saving money for other stuff that I like. One way to save money to use elsewhere at the con ( like food ) is not to spend on a fancy hotel room that you'll only spend 4-6hours in resting only and paying like $120/night.

Shit, now I'm hungry.

>>1571630
THANK YOU!! I have a friend thinking of going to other cons and planning to cosplay some characters that carry guns. Very useful and handy info to know.

Overpriced cheese and ham baggette from one of the con stalls, expensive but fucking awesome for a hangover while cosplaying.

Chinese takeout after the con closes.

I usually bring the bologna lunchables (GOD, I love those things) and freeze them beforehand and stick 'em in a cooler.
I also bring along Slimfast like drinks, since they're quick and easy, and I'm not gorging on junk food.
But after a long day of walking around in costume, sometimes the best things in piping hot piiiizza.
And now I'm hungry.

Oatmeal creme pies.
Food of the gods.

If it's masquerade day I eat whatever I can get my hands on that won't kill me in the little time I have.

Spam masubi and rice balls saves my life at con time. Other than that soda, the closest fast food joint and Denny's.

FAVORITE con foods? Well, I tell you I can't start my days at a con without a damn good breakfast. Usually its not important to me, but at a con I just get in this really weird mood where I can't even face the day without a solid breakfast. Maybe its because I spend the rest of the day eating (or sometimes not eating) junk food and slugging down soda. But anyway...

Yah. A solid breakfast with a nice plate of eggs, some hot black coffee and a side of toast is pretty much con food heaven on saturday morning.

Titties and beer

I bring apples, peanut butter, bread, pudding cups, croissants (and jam packets I steal from work), the occasional Cup Noodle (cheddar is my favorite), Capri Suns, bottled water...

If we're buying food, we'll order a pizza for the room or go to McDonald's or whatever in costume. Because I rarely eat fast food, it's a treat now and then. McDonald's fries taste like heaven when you're famished. Also, fuck you, OP, now I've got to run by McD's after work and get some. :<

>>1572000
CHEDDAR CUP OF NOODLES FUCK YAR

Well my girlfriend loves my cooking (I'm a whitey who cooks korean food, learnt from my mom).

So whenever it comes to cons I cook for both of us and bring the food. Sure you need to carry around a case all day, but we can leave for awhile, go to a park and have a nice little picnic =3

Here's a selection of what's on our pre-con shopping list...
Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios/Corn Pops, Brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts, instant oatmeal
Lunch: EZ Mac, bread+peanut butter+jelly, ramen
Snacks: Doritos, big ol' carton of Goldfish, CheezIts
Drinks: Arizona green tea, Gatorade, vitamin water

We always eat out for dinner.
But my hotel room never goes hungry, goddammit.

At a-kon theres a food court area with a decent selection.
Mostly thought my group had kfc, pizza, taco bell or sandwhiches.

If the hotel room has a coffeepot, I'll bring teabags. I'm not motivated enough to bring my own coffeepot...
