Sometimes I sit in front of my computer eating. Sometimes, I get bored while eating. I could watch a movie or a show, but sometimes I want something more... stimulating .
Assuming that my meal only requires one hand (sometimes it might require two, like a BIG sandwich), I wonder what games I could play with my non-eating hand.
Of course, turn-based games like Civilization, grand strategy games, and RPGs are good candidates since there is no intense real-time element to manage. City-building games like Simcity and Caesar III (and its derivatives) also make good relaxing games to play while eating, although they can get rather hectic as cities get larger and harder to manage, which might distract from my eating and thus may cause cold ramen. I also find Scribblenauts to be a nice one-handed game.
Nevertheless, writing a blog isn't going to stop this ramen from getting cold.

Starcraft 2 team games, 2x terran 1 base with 2 factories pumping hellions. Wins a surprising amount of games. We call it popcorn strats basically the same thing as one handed strats.

The Banner Saga: Factions is a decent free steam game. It's in it's early stages right now, but it's fun for a while.. It's a simple turn-based game against another player so you can even use two hands to eat with a small break to click around every little while.

Yeah! Also rollercoaster tycoon is pretty good.

SC2...
...I mean something turn-based like online chess or checkers or some puzzle game where you're only making a few clicks but the vast majority of the "gameplay" is just thinking.
|
Plants vs Zombies
Chess
not a game but
Read Manga
|
Anything that can be turn based (HoM&M, Civ, Paradox games) is a good choice most of the time.
Edit : Read something is a pretty good advice too, props to you above. :p

Oh god I want to play that now...I remember pissing off my friend who would build epic rollercoasters by winning quickly just by price gouging customers on concessions etc.
EDIT: My suggestion is Tropico or Majesty.

Browse web because the skill is directly applicable when you're one handed browsing for porn. :D

Props for Sim Tower. So much fun. I will let my tower die some other way before I let terrorists hold it for ransom.

I could not concentrate on both eating and playing an intense Osu! map.
Guess you could play something slower/easier but then that defeats the fun of Osu!

I eat + watch things all the time. I don't understand needing something more stimulating while you eat, to be honest.

Civ 5, Faster than Light, World of Warcraft, League of Legends.

i'd rather concentrate on eating my food more quickly so i can get back to what i really want to do. eating while playing is pretty bad hygiene around computers (although common).
honestly, i just put up a twitch stream and play through whoever is streaming while i finish up some simple dinner if i'm bored.
