Everybody likes food and everybody likes to talk about food, at least in my observation. So what are everybody's favorite pre and post dive snacks and beverages?

What about mid-dive snacks? I hear raw scallops are good!

Didn't your mom ever tell you that it's good for you?, well mine did and I listened!
I realize some people might not like the flavour of it but I do AND it is an antioxidant. Even though there is no scientific proof, but when diving on mix, and forcing that mix into your body, the more antioxidants I can have the better.
A Sciencetition told me once it was good!

SeanQ:
How does one chew and swallow while continuously exhaling? Especially since scallops are very chewy?
I prefer raw oysters anyway. One of my advisors eats raw Crepidula while another one eats raw quahogs in the field. Too "fishy" for me.
Raspberry newtons used to be my favorite between dive snack while I was getting trained but then I got hypothermia and was made to sit in the instructor's truck for the rest of the day and I remember the guys I was being trained with being concerned enough to make sure I wasn't going to die before eating my newtons for me. Now I really don't eat newtons due to unpleasant associations I guess.
What is the big deal with tomato juice or lack thereof? One should keep in mind, when purchasing commercial tomato juice, that it can have a high sodium content.
