Who brings food? The GM or the Players?

Nobody. Don’t get your Cheeto fingers or pizza grease on my books!

If you're not eating cheetos with chopsticks, you need to learn how to lifehack, or possibly learn how to use chopsticks.

Edit: pizza is a tough one for chopsticks though.

Generally we just do pizza right before the session or a quick break during.

Watermelon and other fruit is also popular.

Watermelon is definitely my #1 Draft Pick for "Food that I get, and I'm all like 'THIS IS SO AWESOME, I NEED TO EAT THIS EVERY DAY, YUM YUM YUM' but then I don't, because it's hard to cut it up, and can be messy, and I forget, and its no longer in season until next year, and the cycle repeats."

True, and yet I still can't bring myself to spend the extra money on pre cut watermelon.

I've bought the pre cut, and then curse myself for spending 3 times as much on half the portion, that's usually not as fresh besides.

Vow not to do it again -
Rinse, repeat.

The ideal scenario is to buy the whole watermelon then get someone else to deal with the mess.

We sort our own food out If you want food you bring some, if you don't want any you don't bring any. If you want a full meal eat it before the session starts, don't interrupt our game with your takeaway. (our sessions are typically from 7.30pm to around midnight).

I have to be careful about my weight, so I dislike it when there's a constantly replenished table full of snacks for everyone to help themselves to. It's hard to resist when everyone else is digging in... so I prefer it when people are expected to sort themselves out for food.

And as DM, all I ask is that someone makes me a cup of tea once every couple of hours or so.

Who brings the food? Whoever wants to eat it.

Problem is, of 5 people at my table (including me) 3 (not including me) think game night is a fine excuse to bust out the cheese and meat and other assorted fancy snacks...and wine; leading to my game sometimes being referred to not as D&D but as "F&F", for Feasts and Foodies.

And there's little point in having a game board (or battlemat) if you can't see most of it under all the food.

It protects the table from spills & stains.

Between a subway stop and my workplace, there is a Whole Foods market. This is a busy downtown area, with lots of commuters getting to work. So, the market has a really remakrable turnover rate on items that are common for breakfast or lunch. They are restocking that pre-cut watermelon several times a day. Find yourself the equivalent, and you are set.
