If you had just one snack item for an observing/imaging session.....

[Tim]

What would it be?

There seems to be a definite predilection for Jaffa Cakes amongst astronomers, so lets have a poll to see which snacks we all prefer

[JohnC64]

Tunnocks biscuits mmmmmmm

[LukeSkywatcher]

Blue cheese and water biscuits.

[Telrad]

Twiglets - but not too many

[Mr Q]

Cream cheese on Ritz crackers, with a cold cola soda.

[RikM]

Jaffas for me.

Biscuits and crisps are too crumbly and crumbs can get in your optics. Chocolate bars set hard as concrete in the cold. Jaffa Cakes give you the satisfaction of the former with the luxury of the later, and a smashing orangey bit all rolled into one perfect disc. (Well a few them at least).

Official Cake/biscuit definition:

If you leave it out overnight and it goes soft , its a biscuit, if you leave it out and it goes hard, its a cake.

FX:- "Money in tin"

Jaffa's are dead handy for eating directly out of the packet, so no mucky fingers all over kit. Winner!

There's only one way to find out:

[JB80]

Beer.

I think that's the savoury option.

I don't really snack anymore, maybe some nice bread and cheese.

[swamp thing]

Sod snacks, get the burner out and get some bacon sarnies on the go.

[Bluey]

Pringles, only trouble is, have a few, and the next thing the whole tube is gone

[Paxo]

Pot Noodle, and Jaffa cakes of course.

I think the high court has actually considered the point (something to do with cakes being zero rated and biscuits not.... or the opposite?) I'll have a google....

[izakimak]

Have to agree with the bacon sarnies. With melted cheese. And onion. And a bit of brown sauce ........ Mmmmmmm bacon.

Hot dogs work well.

[kniclander]

yes - see third para down (sorry for going off topic)

Jaffa Cakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[James]

Got to be Jaffa Cakes....

Pot Noodles is a good idea though - hadn't thought of that (thanks Paxo )

[Peter Drew]

A DD cow pie.

[Mr Spock]

Food is too much of a distraction

[swamp thing]

Do you not mean "Food whilst observing is illogical" Mr Spock?

[Telrad]

yes - see third para down (sorry for going off topic)

... In 1999, the Sun newspaper published a poll which suggested that the majority of its readers thought of the Jaffa Cake as a biscuit, not cake lol

amusing poll, like this one

[Duns]

Chunky Kit-Kat for me - dark chocolate preferred - don't want to impair my night vision Washed down with a glass of malt (Old Poultny)
