Gender trait or personality trait?


A couple weeks ago my husband had a friend over and he commented on how he would eat just about anything the way it came and then made a side comment about how women tend to save the best part for last, where he preferred to just eat something as it came.  I knew exactly what he was talking about as I am one of those who will nibble around something and leave the best bite for last so as that is the last taste in my mouth.  I had never before considered this to be a male/female indicator.  Yet, while thinking on it I came to a similar conclusion.  The people I know who eat their food in this way are women.  Then my mind skipped a step and it led me to wonder, who decided the order on which we eat ie appetizer, entrĂ©e, desert?  After all, Isn’t that like saving the best for last? 

I know this is a short post, but I am working on a story at the moment and am focusing my time on that for the moment.  I would love to hear input on this though!

  1. My uncle creates a "perfect bite" for his last bite. I don't know if I've ever thought much about it in my own eating. I would say it depends on if I am eating my food, or savoring and enjoying my food. I am preparing to savor and enjoy all the perfect bites of this fresh loaf of peanut butter bread!

  2. Ha! Sounds like me, but I tend to try to make every bite good. Loren loves me to make his sandwiches bc I like a bit of everything in every bite! Not sure about the male vs female but interesting thought about dessert being last. ;)
