Do you like to eat alone?
I don’t mind being alone. I live alone (I do have a cat, so does that count?), I have travelled alone, and right now in the studio, I am flying solo. One thing I can’t do alone – eat at a restaurant.
On the few occasions that I have, I’ve chowed down with wild force and speed, getting through that meal ASAP, usually with some sort of prop, like a book, magazine or my iPod.
When I’m out by myself, I’d rather eat on the go. Though it may makes me appear like a slob (oh, THAT mustard stain on my coat!? Where did that come from?), and surely isn’t good for digestion, I like to walk and wander and eat. All hail the mighty hot dog vendor!
Have you dined alone?
How was the experience?
I’ve heard many people say it's nice to focus on your meal and it’s flavours. Others have said it’s a peaceful way to enjoy time out. For some, it’s just a necessity when on a work trip abroad.
