No but only when I watch the movies. Eating while reading is quite distracting for me.

I definitely love eating chocolatey foods while reading.. That would help me boost interest on reading 📖 :techie-studyinggray:

I drink caffeinated drinks while reading. Eating and reading don't go well with me as between the two I can't multitask. I have to eat without break.

Books and cake are a great combination. Nothing better than a hot drink, a beautiful slice of cake and a good book to curl up on the sofa.

Also, if I'm feeling peckish, crisps.

No, eating while reading is a distraction for me. Most times, I enjoy snacking, like popcorn at intervals just before I resume reading.

I love to eat while I read but I only allow myself to when it is on a kindle or electronic device. I am way too protective over my books. :D

Definitely, yes. Mostly finger food like pieces of fruit, crackers and cheese, or cookies. And always with green tea.

Yes, I used to. I stopped because the paper books were getting spoiled by the food prints.
Now I read electronic versions on the table occasionally :)

I usually get so into the book I'm reading that I don't think about food or drinks...

I used to love eating while I read, but recently I’ve been so into the books I’m reading I don’t feel like eating. For me, it depends on the book I’m reading and what it’s about.

I like to have a cup of tea or coffee with something sweet to eat.

something easy to eat, and that's not too messy like chips or something. Anything that won't make too much of a mark if I drop it on the book (and by "if" I mean "when")
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST

I actually often switch it around and prefer to read when I eat. This allows me to even eat some things that I may not usually like, but with a good book, I can stomach it. As crazy as it sounds, it actually works!

Same here. I get antsy trying to eat if I have nothing to read. It doesn't happen the other way around.
