Legatus Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As I am sure that we all know, it is not wise to have a hookah session of an empty stomach and food and hookah have been paired together for a long time. This brings to my question to you all, do you have any preferences of food that you like to mix with hookah? Perhaps a special flavor of shisha? The other day I brought home some Afghani take out and enjoyed it with some lemon shisha. Other than that, I like to mix a nice smoke session with savory foods. What about you guys?

mattarios2 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I know many on the forums enjoy it but I personally hate eating and smoking. I like to eat, and then with a nice full stomach have a session after I eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I know many on the forums enjoy it but I personally hate eating and smoking. I like to eat, and then with a nice full stomach have a session after I eat. I'm pretty much like this, but I don't like to get stuffed before I smoke. Just a reasonable meal so I'm not hungry. I do prefer it to be sort of fresh, light food; not heavy and greasy. Beer on the other hand goes great with hookah. I did Orange (maybe Mizo) tobacco with Blue Moon once which was pretty good. Mizo Blue Berry goes well with a light, crisp Lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Agree with John and Ashley, smoking while eating sucks, but postprandial nargling is where it's at. Beer is welcome alongside smoking, as are cocktails and tea. Coffee much less so, though that doesn't stop Arabs everywhere from drinking coffee while smoking. Also: 1. Mmmmm Afghan fooooood. Whatcha have? 2. No surprises here, nargile after Lebanese food is basically a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â€On Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yep, with everyone else, eat a reasonable sized meal, then smoke after. I want the smoke going into my lungs, not my stomach, in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Snack food if it's food related. Too much work to eat a full meal and smoke enough in between to keep the session good. Otherwise just coffee, mixed drinks or gatorade.... I am like addicted to gatorade now it's weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 +1 on the snacks. I'll eat some bread or a small bowl of cereal when I start feeling light headed, but I can't eat a full meal before I smoke. I'm always cooking Mexican food, definitely doesn't mix with smoking well.

agunn1231 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I usually eat dinner before I smoke, I also will snack when I smoke, usually chips or peanut butter or I will eat pasta like it's finger foods lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Generally I'm not too picky, but I prefer to not eat a huge meal while smoking. I love snacking while smoking, which has become a problem... Gained quite a bit of weight, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I dont like mixing food into smoking at all, if Im smoking with other people though Ill nibble on something while someone else is smoking sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I suppose the Lebanese beer snacks of salty mixed nuts, carrots in lemon juice, and other seed-like items is acceptable while smoking, but that's about it. Sometimes dessert works too, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I know many on the forums enjoy it but I personally hate eating and smoking. I like to eat, and then with a nice full stomach have a session after I eat. I have to agree with you there. Eating while you smoke just makes the food less desirable and the smoke itself less enjoyable. I like either smoking way before i eat or on a full stomach!

Legatus Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Haha, this is quite a surprising turn out of opinions. Personally, I like to compliment the food because I feel each can supplement the others, if done right. I had Karahi the other night and paired it with the lemon shisha. I guess it's the foodie part of my that likes to mix my two loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I like to sometimes set up some grapes, cheeses and apples, just a nice little snack to go along with it is nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitocom Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I prefer a meal and then a smoke, but for certain tobacco flavors I've found there are a few things I like to eat while smoking. For some reason, I enjoy pizza with extra cheese and salt whenever I'm smoking overly sweet Starbuzz or Fantasia flavors. While neither of those brands are my first choice, its what I end up smoking pretty often because of my friends. I need more hookah-educated friends. :/ Other than that example, the only time I eat while smoking is if it is snack food. I'm partial to salsa/guac/sour cream/bean dip and chips, or a platter of crackers and various cheeses, meats, and pickles/olives. Lol. I think I eat too much. I love food.
