I really enjoy eating as long as the food is varied and well prepared. Eating out in good restaurants is the best, but there are some foods I don't eat unless I've prepared them.
Food used to be my "drug of choise" but it's not anymore. I don't eat nearly as much as I used to. In fact I skip breakfast and lunch most days and only eat a snack in mid afternoon and sometimes dinner.
If there is freshly baked bread or sweets in the house, I can over indulge, but again, not nearly like I used to.
For me it's mostly taste and texture comes second. With tapioca, which I hardly ever eat, it's popping the little bumps with my tongue against the roof of my mouth. If I'm eating alone or no one is watching is sucking mashed potatoes through my teeth. Now that I've got a full set of teeth, I like grinding the whole grain in bread with my back teeth and crunching down on chips.
