Yes I do savor my food. If it is something I really enjoy and it taste great, I will enjoy every bite slowly as if it is my last bite. When I savor foods I enjoy the most, I feel like as if I am in paradise. There are a few drinks I savor to with my foods that I only get a chance to drink twice a year, like Margaritas, or a Daiquiri, I savor every sip and pretend I'm vacationing somewhere like the Bahamas or Hawaii. Food is thought for the soul. It's meant to be enjoyed. My dad use to say, "Food is like the Fruits Of Our Labors." ~HERE'S TO GOOD EATING~

I savor my food twice!! I savor it when I am cooking it. I want it to taste wonderful, even if it is only pancakes or waffles. I am a slow cook as I do everything I can with fresh. I savor it when eating too. I enjoy every bite of it and especially savor when others are eating what I cooked and enjoy it.

i tend to eat very slowly and enjoy my meals unlike other members of my family who tend to wolf it down. i also think by eating more slowly, you get fuller faster, thus eating less food.

Hi there ivygrey, Oh yes, I do savor and enjoy food. Basically, I love to eat LOL! Healthy food with plenty of herbs and moderate spices is the bulk of my diet. I get plenty of fruits, veggies, whole wheat products, dairy, fruit juices, fish, and poultry. Carbs too! Oh but I do indulge every now and then in sweets and goodies ... yum! =) I'm glad it's beneficial for digestive reasons to chew food at least 30 times prior to swallowing because that definitely gives me ample time to taste and savor my food. You are so right ... God has given us our food to enjoy. So I do just that!

Yes, I do love good food. So and so that when I travel, I try to see what great foods are available in the place. In fact, I wanted to learn how to cook great foods, the thing is, I just don't have the time to take a lesson. But in my own, I'm trying to makes some good foods. Perhaps its a matter of experimenting and enhancing. Perhaps in due time, I hope I will be able to prepare great tasting foods, even just a few.

ivy I should really but for so many many years I worked as a nurses aide in a hospital and we never got more than half an hour for lunch or dinner or breakfast depending on what shift you worked .so I have a life long habit of eating fast.since we got Perla the Filipino woman I have really tried to slow down. She makes such a pretty picture as she savors every bit of anything she likes.She does this rather daintily and I have been slowing down on eating foods that I also enjoy.I am a spaghetti nut and I really do enjoy the way the cooks make spaghetti here. So I take my time and I really have a lot of pleasure as I am actually tasting my food now.
