How Do You Eat??

[Smowball]

I noticed ages ago how differently people eat their meals. Main meals generally. Take Mr Smow and I for example . He does the same thing EVERY meal time. Take a roast dinner for example. He will eat all the veg first. Then the potatoes and yorkies if any. Then all that will be left is the meat.which he eats last. His logic is he eats the least favourite things first and leaves the best till last - even though it's going cold lol.

I'm completely different. I put a little bit of everything on each forkful, so I'll have a tiny bit of veg, potato, and meat in each mouthful. I just assumed everyone ate like me but clearly not.

[ummmm]

I've never been made to finish a meal.

Dave - I seen a bloke yesterday who was the image of you. I had to do a double take.

Because I eat slowly and have a small appetite I eat the tastiest food first and, unless I serve myself, I leave some of the less tasty food....
This also means that other dinner guests aren't fidgeting for pudding and wishing I'd get a move on.....
Eating out as a child my father made us leave a little on the plate so we didn't come across as hungry and underfed at home.... :-)

i leave the best things till last too

It wasnae me, ummmm - I have an alibi :)

[Smowball]

Yeh we believe you ;

I eat the protein first as that's what's important to me.

[sunny-dave]

Anyway, smow, after your revelations on the brassiere thread, I'm surprised you can see your plate .... :)

I eat the same way as Mr Smow, except the yorkies will be the last thing on the plate. The best always comes last.

[mallyh]

i was told once I ate like a fat person ,I left the best until last, a thin person ate the best first as they may not have room later on lol

Having become something of a skinny Lady I think I may have re-prioritised my eating and go for protein/vitamin rich stuff first.

I'm currently a Mrs ScoffaLot and tucking in whenever, wherever I can.

I'm not and never have been a fussy eater, have always eaten and enjoyed everything put in front of me. I've never had to be told to eat everything on my plate as I always ate everything anyway, and usually asked for more. Standing joke in the family was that as a child I ate as much as my dad but looked as if I was half starved.
I've never thought about how I eat, probably a bit of everything on the fork. Although I really relish food, I'm quite a slow eater whereas my other half eats really quickly, a throw back to school days apparently when if you weren't quick you did without.
