    Wink The Art of Eating

    How do you eat?

    I enjoy all sorts of food and like to eat things from different countries especially seafood and fish I love.
    One thing I cannot stand is cold food. I like my food hot when served.

    I have eaten in a lot of Chinese restaurants over a long time so it would be strange if I couldn't use chopsticks now.

    To me, balance is the key. If I do juicing, I would balance with a tbsp of almond butter, for example. There is a very good product called Essential Greens; the best tasting of it's kind; check it out.
    Not necessarily vegan, I also take protein from meat; a good 5 oz. prime rib, or a 6 oz. wild salmon.
    Low salt, combined with some potassium chloride, or no salt at all with a good mixture of herbs that act as substitute.
    Cantaloupe, Watermelon, and Pineapple spears are very good for you. They have the solids their juices don't and are so necessary for good digestion. Best juices: Tangerine, Pineapple, Carrot; very gentle. Eggs? Liquid Eggs are great; no chol, no salt, etc.
    Buy toasted onion from The Spice House and try Argentine Fugaza.
    Eat chocolate in the form of Dutch Processed cocoa, perhaps sweetened with dark grape molasses and rum or cognac, inside Post Grapenuts or Minute Oatmeal. Always fatfree milk for this.
    It's up to you. Have fun.

    Wow cafolini you are one well informed eater.
    I just go with my taste and needs.
    I tend to enjoy all sorts of different foods available and shy not of different food. I like all sorts as long as it is ethical.

    but when it does it sigh

    I tend to stuff my mouth until I can't get anymore. It may be bad manners but when it's just me and my boy it's very funny...

    I am quite sure that if it were not for my remarkable metabolism I would be obese, in a just world were people actually became what they ate, I would be like one of those 200 kilo beasts in macdonalds.

    My friends say I eat strangely, like that weird chick from The Breakfast Club. I don't think I'm that bad, but I can see the argument. I usually eat normally, but I have a few food idiosyncrasies. I can think of only four right now:

    -I like filling a plate with quite a bit of that powdered Kraft parmesan cheese, then getting a box of cherry tomatoes. I chew a hole in the cherry tomato, drain the seeds into the parmesan, then eat the husk of said tomato (generally I eat the skin first). After I'm through all of the tomatoes, I stir the cheese and tomato seeds together to make a kind of tomato-cheese paste. Then I squish it flat on the plate so that it's like a giant patty, and eat it very slowly, cutting off one tiny square of cheese paste at a time with a fork. I did this once while watching a movie with my friend Steve, four years ago. He still goes on about it.

    -If I'm eating homemade nachos and cheese, I pull the cheese off of nachos, then I dip the cheese bits in sour cream and eat them, and I dip the chips in sour cream and eat them, but never together.

    -If I'm eating store bought nachos and cheese, I lick the cheese powder off before I eat the chip.

    -If I'm eating chips and dip, I dip the chip then I spread the dip with my finger so that the entire chip is completely and evenly covered.

    I loved how she ate in Breakfast Club, love that movie

    I do that too with the nachos, usually one side is 'powdier' than the other so I lick that one.

    One thing is not very pig eating about me, my food can't touch on the plate and I eat one thing at a time. I finish all my salad before I try the potato. If there is sauce it can only touch the main course not the salad or potato's.

    Well what can I say this very intricate indeed
    One thing I could not stand is cold food. Once it is served it must be hot for me to eat it. Doesn't your food get old whilst you are redesigning food to eat it?
    it may never try

    good
