    At McDonald's I always get a Quarter Pounder hold the cheese, a 10 piece McNugget with sweet 'n sour, large fries, two apple pies for 99 cents, a bottle of chocolate milk and a large chocolate shake. I mix the shake and the milk together for more comfortable sucking. I eat the whole thing in 12 minutes and throw the cups, containers and wrappers on the floor of my car. The next day, after I sleep off the hangover, I drive the car 10 yards to the dumpster and throw away the refuse.

    Hey you stupid wooer, this is really true.

    @newmeadow

    well, at least you didn't have that slice of cheese gumming up the works....

    I am married so I am not particularly worried about turning off a date with how I eat. I never worried about it in the past either. My dh said he'd be turned off by someone eating a jar of cheez whiz. I haven't eaten that since I was a teenager and vomited after eating some so I'd probably be turned off too.

    I don't eat in restaurants often and don't eat chicken wings often. When I do I usually have sauce on the hands and face. I don't obsessively wipe until I am finished eating. I don't think I lick my fingers... maybe if there are not napkins?
    I would probably order a less messy food particularly if we are going other places and I am dressed up a bit because I would probably drop things on myself no matter how careful I am.
    I like salads sometimes.
    I tend to order the same things at restaurants because I know I like them.
    My dh usually does not like ordering the same food as someone else so our orders usually have to be different even though we do not taste each other's food. It does not bother me if we order the same item. I usually have to choose something before he will decide what he wants.
    I am not a picky eater I don't think.
    I am not a super fast eater.
    I would hate going to a restaurant with 20 expensive courses of tiny artistic smears of food. I am not interested in that kind of food experience.

    I get grossed out by really fast eaters. Dude, you are winging food at your mouth so fast that it is splashing on your shirt, good lord!

    My husband is a really fast eater, not so much in public, but when we are eating at home. It doesn't bother me too much - EXCEPT when we are having some decadent/special dessert and he is eating a slice of amazing cheesecake in 3 big bites in a one minute span. I don't know how he even tastes it!?

    I just go with the flow. Normally Im a fork and knife try not to make a mess kind of gal. But for wings, pizza, or other food that is meant to be messy I just embrace the mess. Grab a stack of napkins and enjoy. Hit the bathroom for handwashing after if needed.

    I hate the mess enough that it actually makes me dislike the food itself. I don’t enjoy corn on the cob because I associate it with stuff in my teeth and butter on my face. I love the taste of it, I just hate the method of delivery. Same with ribs and wings. I usually sit there and dissect them with a fork, no wonder I’m a slow eater.

    Hate messes, hate extra stuff, how did you survive kids!?

    I was never meant to have kids, I’m afraid :joy:

    Oh, thought you had two for some reason. Im inventing offspring for you.

    Like a horse at a trough. Not a pig though.

    Horses are kinda gross eaters. They chew and some drops out and they pick it back up and it gets all mushy and gross. Then they do this lip flappy thing to try to clean it all up as the end.

    I dislike when people play with their food the whole time they are eating. My coworker eats trail mix every day and between handfulls he just mixes and mixes the bowl. My mom will push food back and forth, back and forth between bites. Drives me nuts.

    This is the kind of thing I never even notice. But if I did, it would drive me nuts too!

    It really depends on the food or state of hangry. I am generally a very slow eater, except in extreme cases of famished, when I can stuff a loaf of bread in like a minute.

    Other than that, some foods were made to be eaten with a fork and knife, others weren't. Seeing someone cut away at their pizza always makes me funny inside. Then again I feel perfectly fine asking the waiter for napkins in order to properly address drumsticks - end wrapped in napkin. I don't much care who gets horrified.

    I like to eat things separately, from least favorite to most favorite. Playing with food or pushing it around is kind of annoying and distracting when somebody on the other side of the table does it.

    When I was younger I was an extremely slow, very prim eater. After 12.5 years of exposure to a family with very different table manners, I hate eating in front of people I'm not extremely comfortable with because I'm afraid that I picked up those habits during that time.

    "Different" table manners, eh? That's okay, don't tell. I'll leave it to the imagination.

    I was trying to be diplomatic, but it's basically chewing with their mouth open and talking with food in their mouth. Sadly, it's a joke with my kids now that they notice the difference.

    That's a lot of food!! Why do you drive around with your garbage until the next day?

    I am a mixer. For example, if I am eating rice and beans, I mix them together. I tend to eat all my food together.

    The first few bites are the best. I savor certain things like wine or dessert.

    If I am starving, I can eat my food too fast.
