Do you like to enjoy your food, eating slowly, or eat fast, like you run?

You enjoy your stay comfortable, to feel the taste of food you eat to enjoy, to feel, to smell, to taste slowly, without hurry; or eat quickly, often standing in a hurry, without much interest in what you eat, how you eat?
When you are at dinner with family or friends you finish eating first or last?
I am sure you know how important it is for your stomach to eat slowly, chew well, to be relaxed when you eat, or what bad you do it yourself when wolf, standing, without knowing what you eat.
What kind of eater you are, slowly, meticulously, or fast as a train in station?

I switch between times.
If I feel like eating slowly and enjoy the taste then I eat slow. On the other hand, if it's something I dislike I eat medium-fast. Burritos, for example, have a great taste to them so I eat slow. If I where to run into brusselsprouts, I would eat it with not so much joy, but I still chew it!

i like to eat my food slowly... i don't like to eat my food in a rush as it is not good for digestion as well... so i always make sure that i have enough time to eat and not in a hurry... food is made to be enjoyed and if we eat in a hurry, we can't even savour the taste of the food which is a waste... especially if i eat in a restaurant... since i already pay so much for the food, i will make sure that i enjoy every taste of it... take care and have a nice day...

Wherever I am, at home, at work or in a restaurant, I make it a point to pick the food properly, i.e., the food that I love to eat and the food that is good for me. I eat slowly, savor the taste of the food, making myself and my taste buds happy. In that way, I don't have to eat so much because whatever I enjoy makes me satisfied, happy and contented. It makes me stop sooner and makes me eat less. When I am with other people, I don't care how fast or how slow they eat. I do it at my own pace. If they feel that I'm too slow for them, they are free to leave. Slow as I am, if I am still faster than some of them, I'd slow down and politely wait or make pleasant conversation with them.
"Different strokes for different folks." We have to give allowances.
Life is short, let's enjoy it.
Have a good one, icesmile.

I have always been criticised for eating too slow
I don't mind though, because this is the speed which I can enjoy my food the most, and that's the only thing that matters I suppose

I don't have one special style of eating. Sometimes, I eat fast, and there are times when I deliberately eat slow. A number of factors are involved here. Many a time, you feel like taking your own sweet time and savoring every bite of your food. And sometimes you are so hungry and the food is so tasty that you simply can't help eating at a fast rate.

hi! I can't say that I eat slow, but i can't also say that I eat fast, because i have seen many times people, who are eating than me, but I think i eat rather fast, because many times my parents have told me to eat slower :)

Fast as a train station? lol I guess you meant train, lol. Anyway, most of the time I eat fast and little but if its my favorite, which is ice cream and other sweets, I eat them very slow, I want to taste them and enjoy what I'm eating. But during lunch and dinner (I don't eat breakfast) I eat, not so fast but Its fast enough to not enjoy the food much.
The reason why I eat fast during meals is because I want to be always on the computer, talking with my fiance and playing games and working as well. but during special occasions, I eat slowly and enjoy the company of my family and friends.

I like to eat slowly, and enjoy what i am eating. I know people who eat really fast, and I don't know if they've ever "tasted" food in their lives. LOL I want to enjoy my food.

Hey icesmile! I guess it depends on my mood and where I am
and whom I am with and what I am eating! If I am at home
and eating my own home cooked food I tend to eat more slowing!
I know that I have nowhere to go and I can take my time and
enjoy my food! I am usually sitting alone at the table and my
boyfriend is finished and starting to wash the dishes but I
don't care! If I am in a restaurant, I am usually eating faster
than my friends, or so it seems! I guess I just have slow eating
friends! Again, I don't care! I eat the way I feel comfortable!
I do think that if I eat alone at home I tend to eat faster
than when I eat with my boyfriend! Isn't that funny? I guess
it's because I am so busy talking! He always tells me to be
quiet and eat! I guess that is the problem! When I'm alone
I don't talk, just eat!lol

We know that is more healthy to eat slowly, patiently, but who these days has the patience to sit an hour to eat, when going into gear everyday life?
Often morning i make my sandwich that i eat in the car on the way to office, or I drink my coffee on the run, in the office.
Life is what makes us give more or less time to sit quiet meal with family, to talk, tasting food.

Hey friend. I love to eat meticulously in a relaxed mood enjoying the taste of every bite of food. Because, when you'll eat fast, it'll ruin your enjoyment of your meal. Moreover, eating fast isn't a civilized practice and is harmful for the stomach. Scientists have urged people to eat slowly chewing well every mouthful taking enough time for making the digestion easier for the stomach leading to ensure a healthful physical state. Those who eat fast to save time are in fact, wasting time and their own health. Because soon they'll fall ill and will have to stay in a medical center for proper care. Therefore, it's proved that eating slowly is the best way of eating.
Have a healthful eating.
