Live casino’s pretty awesome! It gives you about as direct of a link to the online casino world as you can possibly have thanks to the presence of a real life dealer that’s broadcast to you through a camera, allowing you to briefly forget about your own loneliness and indulge in fake human contact with another human being. Erm, I mean… I’m definitely not projecting anything, you guys. A-anyway, live casinos have become a huge thing in the last few years (if you don’t believe me, just check out a site like liveukcasinos.co.uk and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about), and that’s in no small part because the live dealers know exactly how to keep the game going. It’s easy to stay for hours at a time and come back for more when the dealer doesn’t give you a chance to look away! Unfortunately for people like me, who really like to eat stuff while they play, that leaves us in a very delicate position. What I eat needs to be substantial enough to last me a while and filling enough to make me not want seconds, since getting up after the live casino has started and pausing the fun isn’t really an option. Additionally, the food I get can’t be anything that’s going to require two hands to eat (since I still need my dominant hand free to play at all times), and at the same time anything that’s greasy and could stain my keyboard is also out (you never know when I’m going to need to type up a quick message into the chat). Those conditions narrow down a list quite a bit, but fortunately, I’ve discovered a few foods which are excellent for this activity!
1. Pizza
A friend of mine often liked to say that pizza’s like sex – when it’s good, it’s great, and when it’s not good, it’s still pretty good. Honestly, I don’t disagree with him! I mean, come on, who honestly doesn’t like pizza? Even people who say they don’t eat pizza are only saying it out of dietary concerns and not because they actually dislike the taste of pizza. By the way, pro-tip, people on strict diets – if you really want to lose weight, you should stop watching what you eat and start watching how much you eat. Technically, you can eat nothing but Big Macs and still have a stunning body as long as you watch that calorie intake. With that said, you’ve got no excuse not to order a pizza the next time you’re playing live casino, especially since it’s a food that’s regularly served in real casinos. Generally, when you order pizza from a pizzeria, it comes cut in 8 – I often like to cut each piece into 3 parts for a total of 24 tiny, narrow slides, which are super easy to consume while playing and last for a really long time!
2. Fruits & Veggies
Alright, time for the obligatory vegan option! I won’t spend too much time talking about it because… Well, it’s fruits and veggies! And yes, I am talking about just raw fruits or vegetables (please don’t mix them – the only fruit you should ever mix in with vegetables is the tomato) that you just eat directly out of a bowl. And it’s not really anything fancy or hard to prepare, either. The way I typically like to do vegetables is just get some cherry tomatoes and some baby carrots (which aren’t babies at all, those lying, lying bastards) and maybe slice in some cucumber in there or something. No sauces or anything like that required. For fruits, I just chop up and throw anything that doesn’t release a ton of fluids into a bowl. Apples, grapes, peaches, strawberries, whatever! It’s literally the easiest thing to do, doesn’t make a mess, and it’s healthy, too!
3. Chocolates
Yep. Just an ordinary box of store-bought chocolates. I’m specifically talking about bonbons, not chocolate bars (since the chocolate used in bars tends to melt to the touch, which can cause a mess, while the chocolate used for bonbons has been specifically meant to not melt and make as little of a mess as possible). Not exactly the cheapest nor the most dietary solution, but honestly? It’s one that I’m super guilty of. What can I say, chocolates are delicious, they’re filled with goodness and once you pop you just can’t stop! Just, um… Maybe don’t eat the entire box? I mean, I’m not really the person to tell you how to live your life, but let’s be honest here, you came to my blog looking for advice on what to eat while playing live casino games. Perhaps a bit of a warning is in order.
