Snacking and Writing

I read this great article/cartoon a few years ago from the New York Times called Snacks of Great Scribblers by Wendy MacNaughton.  MacNaughton is an illustrator and artist that is based out of San Fransisco.

It is what writers eat while they are writing and that is pretty neat.  Lord Bryan drank vinegar, F. Scott Fitzgerald ate canned meat from the tin and apples, Walt Whitman ate oysters and steak for breakfast, and Emily Dickinson snacked on her own homemade baked bread. 

The closest to my snack habits that I believe I have is to Michael Pollan who drinks pu'er tea and roasted almonds, but I drink just general American black tea, though I do enjoy Chinese tea, and usually pistachios.  But I eat almonds every so often.  Vendela Vida snacks on pistachios while writing so I am close to her snacking habits also.

I will also drink green tea, water, and ginger ale.  I actually really do not eat food while writing, but I drink a lot.  I usually take a break to eat meals.

I thought the article was fun and interesting.  What do you all like to snack on and drink while writing?
