Re: Real programmers eat foo
'foo' is being denigated unfairly in this caption. foo == fu is an important Chinese culinary term. Pork fu, for example, is a dried, shredded pork product much like spun sugar in consistency but tasting better; and then of course there is egg foo yung . . .

I had a colleague that often worked late and lived on chocolate bars and bananas. (He liked to code COBOL with GO TOs in SECTIONs to the middle in other sections and then return to the previous section through another GO TO triggered by a flag... He did that to reuse code he liked...)

Re: Real programmers eat foo
English fish and chips. Two lots for lunch, once for dinner and on the way home from the pub was my record on one notable day. In London, the doner kebab and pints of London Pride were the favoured food of the early 80s.

There are small grocery shops, pizza/hamburger/fish+chips outlets around my

are somewhat difficult since no 24 hours place were available then, but now
there is that unpopular macdonald junk shop nearby with those pathetic
uneatable small things they call 'burger' and chips.
We {or at least me} prefer local hamburger / pizza places which can make proper
oversized hamburgers or pizzas.
My offices do however have a full service restaurant operating in office hours.
No alcoholics of course.
Now, I must hurry out to get lunch!

It's not so of course. In some places there are wine and beer served.
Example: IBM Montpellier (France), AFAIR IBM Boeblingen (Germany).
In other countries it could be illegal.

In my early days as junior sysprog we did a lot of late night testing. In those days long predating the popularization of good coffee beans and methods, the night shift operators were responsible for making a huge urn of coffee, and there were as many opinions on how to do it as there were operators. Those opinions covered not only brewing times, temperatures, ratio of coffee to water, and so on, but also added secret ingredients, some of which were never widely discovered, though as far as I know all were quite legal. A pinch of salt and/or cinnamon were common wisdom, but two of the more surprising were powdered mustard and ground pepper, which sound at least highly inappropriate, but which did actually improve the flavour of the cheap grocery store beans. I drank that stuff for years, and then I went to France for the first time and discovered the notion that good coffee - like good food - was to be expected at every corner cafe or truck stop. I came back and never touched the stuff from the urn again.
