What non-gamer food do you like?
Gamer food:
Mountain Dew (or other nasty carbonated beverage)
Cheetoes
Doritos
Pizza (anything you can get a Pizza hut or Dominos or Papa Johns)
Breadsticks
For myself, I like bacon.
I like dark chocolate dipped bacon.
Outside of that, Spaghetti alla carbonara (tasty bacon & black pepper!). I'm due to have this one soon.
From there, it's sushi.
Pasta! With sauces (as long as there's no seafood involved)! And mushrooms!
Ahem...
I'm also quite fond of "traditional" Swedish dishes like meatballs with potatoes, lingonberry jam, and gravy.
Curries.
Chili con carne is great, too.

I'd love to get my hands on a Swedish (or general Scandinavian) cookbook, Kajehase. A lot of it sounds delicious.
Most of my favorites are French or Italian specialties:
Pasta al pomodoro
Chicken piccata
Boeuf Bourguignon
By the way, Darkmeer, spaghetti alla carbonara is one of my specialties. It's in the rotation about every other week, as long as I can get my hands on decent pancetta.

Check out the Baltic States as well for more in that vein. Latvian food is some tasty stuff ... hope I have another cousin get married soon. ;)
In general though, for gamer grub: chips and soda mainly (specifically, kettle chips or cheesy poof style goodness and Dr. Pepper or craft Root Beer). Of course, that's at the table for quick snacking. Every gaming group I am currently part of includes at least one meal break ... and then we either cook/grill various tasty items or we go out to eat, typically not chains unless folks are strapped for cash on game day. nothing like grabiing some sushi before going up against the BBEG. ;)

I eat dogs, babies, horses, cabbage, pad thai, macaroni and cheese, broccoli, grilled avocado+cheese+peanutbutter+jam sandwiches/quesadillas (avocado, cheese, and peanut butter are universal toppings), mushrooms (chanterelles and morels are great), coconut milk curry, celery, pie (huckleberry is objectively the best), rootbier floats, pizza (yeasty crusts are cool), milk, V8, potato salad, spinach, pancakes, custard, cobbler (marionberry), rhubarb sauce, pears, mangos, apples, citrus (kumquats), spatzle, goulash, Algerian moussaka, stew, Thai lemongrass coconut soup, and f#$& it I like all food.
e: well except for brie
Chain food is okay but generally not all that interesting.
Looking at my current state of finances? Everything.
Hunger is the best seasoning for most kinds of food you can think of.

Glad to see someone else liking the spaghetti alla carbonara! I'm not terribly talented, thus I have to go out for the meal.
I make a good vegetarian, thick red sauce for pastas though (Broccoli, small sliced asparagus, and fresh tomatoes for the sauce, all garden-fresh).
I have to say another favorite food is lamb chops & mashed potatoes. I am drooling just thinking about that.
In no particular order, my mostest favouritest everest (it's a high honour to be in this list, if you know what I mean), also known as "List of things I could eat until I died from suffocation":
-Ricotta & Crude Ham (Patanegra/Iberian ideally) Caneloni with River Shrimp Sauce
-Turkey with Hot Apple Sauce and Duchess Potatoes
-Salmon Ceviche
-Raw Avalon with Mayonnaise
-Spinach Fetuccini with White Cream Chicken Sauce (even better when it's been sitting inside the fridge for a day or two, as the pasta sucks in the flavour and becomes so much tastier).
-Celestino with Manjar (typical local dessert. Basically, a thin pankake filled with manjar -which in turn is a very sweet caramel-like paste made from cooking condensed milk until it turns brown, customary in places like Chile and Argentina-, covered in powdered sugar which is then turned into hard caramel by sprinkling a tiny bit of irish cream and then setting it on fire, with a ball of vanilla icecream and whipped cream on top).
-Pernil Italiano (http://i46.tinypic.com/ab44md.jpg)
-My own homemade garlic bread (I pick up some freshly made marraqueta bread -which is somewhat like a baguette in composition, but the outer crunchy layer is thiner-, sink it in olive oil miked with a bit of powdered fresh garlic and dry oregano, put it in the over until the oil outside is starting to fry the the bread, add several types of cheese -I usually got with 50% ranco [similar to gouda, but more creamy], 25% gorgonzola and random experimental cheese for the rest, depending on the mood-, put it back in the over so the cheese melts slightly, and then it is ready to serve).
And now I'm hungry. Are you happy? ARE YOU HAPPY? <Shakes angry fist>

Yes, yes I am.
Your garlic bread sounds most excellent.
