Home made food is clean and hygienic so i prefer to eat home made food but at weekends we eat out. What about you, do you like eating out or you have home made food?

I like a little bit of both, cause sometimes I really don't want to cook one day and we'll just go out and eat, my husband and I and sometimes if we don't have any money but we have plenty of food we'll just have home made food or if I just feel like cooking.

Eating at home is cheaper, but if I had my way then I would definately go and eat out a lot more! I would never run out of interesting places to go and eat at for a while. I love the fact that I do not have to cook and there are no pots to wash up after!

Yup, that's the best part that you don't have to wash the utensils when you eat out...Thanks for the response.

I actually like both but I prefer a come cooked meal more than eating out. I think it's just me but I feel happier when I eat at home. My mom usually cooks for us and we really like the different recipes she's preparing for us. Even how simple it is, nothing's better than having to sit down with the family, at home, with a home cooked meal.

Thanks for the compliments for my mom as well. Yes, she is a very good cook. She even tries some experimental dishes, but of course there are very few times when the result isn't what she intended to but still, they're good. See 'ya!

I enjoy going out to eat on occassion. I cook and eat mostly at home. It can become costly eating out, and I am not financially in a postion at this time to do much eating out. That is why, when I do, it is a real treat. I was laid off from my job and now I have the time to cook at home, without coming home tired and trying to prepare a meal.

i like both. i often eat out , and very often eat out myself, go to a restaurant to taste spicy food, roast beef and korean food or hot-pot ,which i eat at least once a month. i love eating out because i cannot cook that tasty food by myself, and saves labour. on the other hand, i like eating at home only because i like to stay with family.

i invite my family, but they seldom take my invitation considering the price and the taste, cause i like spicy food and only meat, but they don't.

i really like eating out, but there comes a time when its like you're already sick and tired of the selection/choices of food. also, home made food is really healthier than take out... with fast foods, you get all the cholesterol and everything.. but when im in the mood, or when im with my friends, we'd of course prefer to eat out... more chances of pigging out and wasting our salary.. he he

I like eating out though home made food is more hygienic. I just hate the washing after cooking. But normally I'll cook during the weekdays and eat out only on the weekends.

fro me after working in the resturant for 8 year u see things tht most people dont. for this i'm more likely to eat home made food over going out, unless i have to. i have a hard time trusting other people with cooking my food unless i know them.

I like doing both but for a majority of the time I find myself eating at home for I find it alot cheaper. Alot of places these days food prices are going up in a lot of places and I have noticed it tends to put a damper on things and have decieded to buy alot of food at a food whole sale club like Sam's Club and make it myself at home. I do splurge once in a while and eat out but not like I used to.

I love to cook food and discover new recipes myself. I eat mostly at home on weekends and i have to eat at the school cafeteria during work days. The tight schedule simply doesn't allow me much time for self-cook food lol. It's usually more healthy to eat self-made food as you mentioned. But it's OK to splurge once in a while as long as we keep a healthy choice of foods. Eating out is also a good idea when you get time to meet friends. The environment is good and you can talk about good old days too.

I love both. I love to go out to eat, try new dishes. I also like to make some of my own home-made baked goods and meals! I do have to agree that when you make things at home it is better for you. You do not always know what others are using in the recipes. And I am allergic to somethings and can get sick. I love to get invited to my friends and families home too!

I like home made foods specially made by my mom.It's not only because home made foods are clean and hygienis or cheaper or ect. but home made foods have a flavour of home that makes me feel that i am in home.it also contains a lot of love and affections of my mom.

Ah, I love eating out. I mainly like to eat exotic or cultural foods when we go out. We will drive an hour for good Indian or Thai food. It's sad, but we do it about once a month. :) I enjoy cooking, too. I just hate cleaning up afterwards!!

I'd much rather eat out. It's much cheaper to eat at home, but they cook better than I do and they clean up as well! LOL And, I think THEY are more hygienic because they have much more stringent laws to follow than I do at home. I'm a much more casual cook than they are allowed to be by law. And, I can get a larger variety of meals out than I can at home because most of what I order are things I'd never even try to make at home.

eating out is fun and gives one a chance to eat meals you can eat that you do not know how to prepare

We like our own hoe made food,and you are right in saying that you know where it is prepared and cooked if you will do it youself,but we do go out for supper once every week,it is just for a change.Where we go depends on how we feel,we may want oto eat indian food,or chinese food,or we may just want to eat a burger,but it is the joy of knowing that someone has cooked it for you.

I like doing both, but I find when I stay home, I cook more and eat healthier. When I do eat out, it is usually for foods I don't cook well like mexican or chinese type food. Eating out is couple of times a month for me.

Since I'm always out of the house, I often eat out. Whenever I eat out for 5 days in a row because I'm out of town, I begin to miss home-made food. Home-made food means eating it at home with my family.
