This is not the case with backgammon and food, especially in online games.
Backgammon and food needs careful thought. A plate or a bowl of spaghetti is not the dish of the day when playing backgammon.
Furthermore anything too spicy such as Mexican or Indian which requires a good deal of finger work is also out. Chinese Peking Duck is a definite NO No! because this dish requires the pancakes to have the customary plum jam painted onto the dough, complimented by thinly chopped vegetables, and the now cooked and shredded duck which is also added onto the pancake, before rolling and placing into the mouth.
You can see how difficult this is, particularly if you’re looking to roll a double, or move your piece to a bearing off position. Just so impractical, so therefore let’s look at what is good backgammon food fayre.
Well if the analogy is not too far removed from the truth, a bacon or gammon sandwich is always an acceptable meal, preferably without sauce.
Hamburgers or cheeseburgers which fit into neatly into the hand without poking out are also a good easy meal to consider, as are crisps not to be confused with the US Chips or French Fries.
The question of nutrition in online backgammon is an important one a delicious apple may sustain, for a quick game but a more wholesome alternative would be a Green salad placed into a small pitta bread or whole grain bread sandwich. Not everyone likes salad, so this can be replaced with some chicken or ham, depending upon your culture and your location.
A varied backgammon menu can also provide a stable diet for competition, however in the US tournament players may need to conserve their energy and go for something like Beef Jerky, which is always good for a long sustained match.
Northern Europeans tend to opt for a hot dish, rather than the cold plate, this of course excludes soup, as this tends to take concentration away from the game, and puts it onto the bowl, coordination between spoon bowl and screen being a difficult thing to master. It is highly recommended that traditional dishes such as a full roast dinner, coq au van or paella also be avoided.
A Swedish Smasgorboard though delicious in its appearance and taste is also terribly restricting and not viable.
Therefore we are left with what can be best be described as fast finger food.
Hotdogs without onions ? Cheese Sandwiches or indeed most varieties of sandwiches that don’t allow the contents to slide out, which is why donner kebabs are not good here, as they tend to lose their contents after a couple of bites. Chinese no, Thai No, French A la Carte or Cordon Bleu, or Nouvelle Cuisine, no. German Bratwurst possibly but with a long roll to accompany it, fish and chips no. In general the rule must be if it doesn’t fit into one hand then it’s a non starter.
Probably the best food of all for backgammon is thought, backgammon, is after all, food for thought.
