Warren; Noodle boxes like from Ghostbuster; Ned’s Noodles in Basildon. 🙂 Wee bit pricey though.
i told justin that last night, neds noodle bar is amazing though!
Yeah it is! 😀 We should all head there one day 🙂
Since we’re talking about themed food with games how about a typical industrial revolution factory workers meal oat cake and gruel with tea leaves that have been reused several times and drided out with milk that hasn’t been pasteurised and hemoginised. That seemed to fit the steampunk world of warmachine. See the link for recipes

Hmm food for Justin to try? I’ve always been rather partial to a Bacon, Avocado & Peanut Butter sandwich myself.
are there any guidelines to the recipes? ie do we know how limited Justins tastes currently are so we know what to suggest? (I dont want to suggest something to find its already something he regularly eats)
He eats no veggies at all… He doesn’t even know what a avocado is xD

If you can try to get him to eat sea squirt or sea urchin from a sushi place. It might be hard to find in the UK. Anyway both taste very strange and you either love it or hate it.
OR some Kimchi Jjigae (kimchi stew) if you can find a good Korean place around there. It is very easy to make and only takes 10-20 minutes. Here is a decent recipe: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/kimchi-jjigae and if you don’t want pork, you can use tuna instead.
Also if you make the kimchi stew, eat it with rice on the side (or cook the rice separately then combine them together)
falafal in a pitta with a olive oil and a selection of sauces (tabasco, sweet chili, jack daniels honey bbq sauce etc.) and i’m gonna use atmosphere for my next board game sounds like a blast!
A card-carrying gaming magpie here. Got Twilight Struggle for my birthday last April and it’s just hit the table for the first time. Got Sedition Wars in February and haven’t played it yet. Not to mention about a dozen minis games I’ve got and never played.
Another good show, keep them coming 🙂
M113Cs as sci fi transports – there is no reason why that could not work. Many sci fi transports/APcs that are available are similar as it is anyway.
White Cheddar and Irish Whiskey
a hamburger with some peanut butter is quite nice, or battered onion rings dipped in hot chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of chilli powder in black coffee, simple, effective and not too adventurous
Best part of the week!
Got to be Mexican to start a game session off! Beef Chilli tacos, with lots of Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeños and salsa on the top! Messy, but always a great when accompanied by a Stella Cidre! The spicy food is cooled and refreshed by the crisp cold cider! Awesome! I’m hungry now 🙁
Luther Burger.
It’s a burger with extra bacon, cheese, and a halved donut in place of the bun.

You should get him to try some Pickled Beef Testicles (Mountain Oysters)!! People actually eat that!!! UGH!
Clearly you guys should eat (and discuss at lenghth) this British (and Irish) classic

Time to claw back some terminology!
Very simple; one of my mate’s home-grown jalapeños. I’ll mail it over.
Kangaroo
Possibly a little pricey in the UK but if you can get some WORTH IT
Bring on the Night Troll!
Ozzy Osborne did a cover of that Buffalo Springfield Song… now that’s something you have to hear 😀
I have heard it and it is awesome!!
I think a them eating Bulls Penis would be pretty hilarious.
Buffalo chicken bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers.
Caviar!
Haggis rolls
I love mansions of madness, it has been played soo many times at our games nights.
Great quality video as always!
I have perfect cusine for you. Its traditional food time. This is one of the finnish traditional food it might look littlebit disturbing but should taste enible (some really like it).
