Do you eat before a formal dinner?

[RichardE]

So you are not tempted to pig out from hunger 😱

I usually do, but I'm not sure if its a good idea or not. I leave in 45minutes for one and was thinking of a chicken salad.

You should eat an entire turkey before you go.

 

[KeithTalent]

No, but I tie 2 empty sacks to my belt so I can stuff extra food in there to take home.

sometimes a 1/2 sandwich or something just in case I don't like the food they are serving... that way i'm not starving if the food sucks

 

[hiromizu]

absolutely.

One of the best compliments the host or cook can have is for you to eat a lot.

 

[zerocool84]

Eat an alternator sized hunk of grass-fed ground beef before going.

 

[TallBill]

Depends on if you are expecting appetizers or not. I can eat alot period, so it wont really matter.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes, usually 4 fried chickens and a coke.

I like this idea.

 

[Riceninja]

20-piece, spicy bucket from KFC with a small, piping-hot, black coffee.

Does drinking heavily count as eating?

 

[SoulAssassin]

I usually grub between the ceremony and reception for weddings, most of the time the >$100/plate filet mignon is actually about 3 or 4 ounces of midrange beef (roughly the end of a piston) and then you end up putting down 15 drinks on a half empty stomach.

Usually a snack, but it all depends on the company. If its a bunch of people I really don't like, I will eat before and I might even take a flask. If its people I like, i don't eat before and I don't need to excuse myself to the bathroom to drink.

 

[guyver01]

that's like drinking before you go to a bar...

its a must if ya dont wanna spend alot of money.


otherwise... if im not paying for it... hell no.. i will eat. someone else is paying (or already paid) it would be rude not to.

fixed that for ya.. fatty :disgust:

geez how hard can it possibly be to consume a normal, human sized portion of food?!


edit: okay that was mean and I'm sorry.. That really sounds like some kind of eating disorder though, being ashamed to eat in front of others. You shouldn't be embarrassed at the amount of food you're eating.

 

[BassBomb]

I may eat before if I am really unsure as to how good the food is, or how late I will be staying out

 

[Fear No Evil]

2 whole chickens.. and some dry white toast.
