The Dude Abides Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 When you're at home and you sit down with your hookah, do you have a favorite drink or snack to couple with the ma'assel? Usually I smoke after eating a good meal, but sometimes I just snack-and-smoke. Warm pita and hummus is the easiest and preferable food, and hot moroccan mint tea is a [b]must[/b]. The tea has to be decaf, however, or my body gets overwhelmed by both nicotine and caffeine which causes me to run to the sh*tter before the session has reached the 10 minute mark. But yeah, I can't smoke without my mint tea! Do any of you like to drink wine or anything weird while smoking? And whats on the menu? Is it pizza and beer, or a nice cabernet and goat cheese... or how about ouzo?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookaHebrew Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Personaly i love good tea and hummus at a hookah bar but as for at the ol' pad i snack on chips and dip but if i could i would keep pita and hummus stock. Also i tried drinking wine when we tried wine in the base and i was really good i think it was charles shaw merlot, nothing special but i was nibbling sharp cheedar at the same time and supprisingly it was really good.

skiracerj1 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah the hummus is a must, whenever my friends and I frequent our local hookah bar ( and I do mean frequent, 6 nights a week is a light week) we always get hummus; adding a good sweet tea is great as well. Some of my friends also like having Gyros while smoking, though I've never much been a fan. Typically I've found that drinking anything carbonated doesnt usually sit well while smoking, but thats really the only food or beverage I've had while smoking thats produced a negative reaction, everything else is just different levels of good.

sponge bob Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 You cant go wrong with a great belgian beer! My personal favorite is a Trappistes Rocherfort 10, it just gets a little pricey at $6.50 per 11oz bottle at a discount store.Thanks, Asgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hookah bar i drink lots and lots and lots of really good juice. They call it juice but i think its more like a smoothie. SOO good especially with a hookah the mango juice, strawberry, banana, etc... I eat whatever is lying around at home and drink whatever is around too. I do tend to like things cold while smoking hookah like drinking a slurpee or milkshake and maybe eating a popsicle or someting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 At the hookah lounge I go to, I normally grab a gan misha tea, it's SO good! It's like a tea with bits of corn and popped corn. I also like either humus or some good olives.When I smoke at home I rarely drink anything except water. I also eat home made humus, which I make myself. My friends could swear that I'm middle eastern, they find me the weirdest Italian they've ever known!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 On a diet right now, so no drinking for me, but I always used to enjoy drinking a few brews during my sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahEnthusiast Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Depends on the particular flavor of ma'ssell as well as brand...but if its a sweet and fruity kind..you cant go wrong with a good juice of some sort to liven up the taste buds...

jay0ring Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I like red wine myself. Its really good when I put some in the base as well as sip on some while smoking.....yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravencadwell Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 It depends on where I am. If I'm out at a restraunt, there's one place I like to go that has great lebonese food. The Falfels are great, and the kabobs are to die for. They also have some appetizers if you don't want a big meal, but a flafel and some iced chai latte, Mint tea or merlot. It depends on what flavor I'm smoking too. If I'm at home, it's pretty much ice water or chai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Converge Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I enjoy eating a cinnamon sugar Brueggers Bagel with a Mocha before I Hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I usually enjoy either water or red wine with my hookah session. Although when I'm with my brother it could be a beer or three - depending.As for food? Really, it's whatever I'm craving which could just be a nice mouth-watering rare steak - courtesy of Omaha Steaks.I sure am making myself hungry.

gunsboy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 It depends, If I am smoking "Al-Fakher" Cola I would like to drink some cold diet Pepsi. With Bahraini Golden Al-Fakher I would enjoy a hot "kushari" tea, which is not in bags, with natural mint and sugar boiled with it. Sometimes Turkish coffee or arabian black coffee if after a heavy meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxtonator Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Well my hookah isnt here yet, but will be soon enough, ordered last night but what i plan to do is this:havana banana mixed with havana strawberry while i have a nice home made fruit smoothie with some friends.Previously at hookah lounges i have just gotten some sort of juice ushually after a meal, might be eating a little dessert. Now that ill be at home, im gonna start mixin it up a bit. I was wonderin if you guys thought the same as i do, like say you get a grape flavor, then you drink a grape soda through the session, will that effect or improve the taste, and does that make for an unfair review if it does?

pavlakos_politakos Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 funny you should mention ouzo mister the dude abides.i infact quite often bust out the ouzo.it goes great with nakhla double apple.if im at the hookah bar i also usually get a beef or lamb shawarma(not always the sandwhich though)along with a salad and fries.after words ill smoke and enjoy a desert such as baklava,a bowl of cazantebe(a creme made with rose water-its delish),or just a fruit smoothie.at home itll either be meal of chinese take out(lol)prior to my smoke,followed by a small bowl of candied orange peels with either a mint tea or a turkish apple tea(those damn turks know their apple tea).or ill just sip on a bottle of Stela Artoise beer munching on whatever the hell i find in the fridge.and in the fridge its almost 100% chance of being some homemade greek food my mom made.
