Do you eat the best part of the food first or last?

Question

For example the best part of a muffin is the top do you eat that first or last? Or do you just eat it all and enjoy the whole thing together?

Usually the best part last. For instance, for years into my early adulthood I wouldn't always finish eating the lower crusts of a sandwich, but now I eat the bottom part first and leave the more appealing (to me) top crust for the end. The way I look at it is you'll eat just about anything when you're hungry, so if there's something about your meal that you don't like quite as much as other parts, eat it first because your hunger takes over and just makes it easier to eat, instead of waiting until the end and perhaps leaving something on your plate.

I usually save the best for last. Like if I'm having a steak with veggies on the side, I'm getting the veggies outta the way first, so the last taste in my mouth is the steak. But in the case of a muffin, I just eat the top first. Kinda weird eating a muffin from the bottom.

Kind of depends on what it is. If it's a muffin, I'll always eat the top first. With other foods I might save the best piece for last

Best part first. Sometimes I lose appetite suddenly and leaving the best part isn't optimal.

I cut the fat off my steak while I'm eating, and I'll happily impale the waiter if he tries to take my plate before I eat it.

Funny. I just wrote an answer to another question thinking about how my temper is more controlled now. Of course, that question didn't include prime rump steak...

NYCQuestions1976 · Answer

It depends on the meal. Using your muffin example, I eat the top first, because if you take it out of the wrapping to eat the bottom first, you get crumbs everywhere. If we're talking about a meal with sides, I'll eat about half of the main entrée first, then eat the sides, then finish off the entrée.

NathanDavis · Answer

depends... but it's usually the best part for last, or I mix it up... lol with muffins I definitely save the best for last...

Depends on the food. But usually I’ll either eat it all together or I’ll save the best part for last.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I used to "save the best for last" but, sometimes, I don't get to the last part and that would've been a waste of the best part.

Benjiman19 · Answer

I kinda just eat everything as I see it. Meaning, I don't care if it's good or bad it's going in my stomach.

However challenging it may be, I tend to eat around the plate or experience the entire dish whenever possible.

Depends on the food, with a cupcake, if you are choosing you are simply doing it wrong doozy, you take a bite from the side and it's a perfect balance of frosting and cake, you are missing out 😂

I put all together but it depends on what it is. A muffin needs to be eaten from top to bottom. A hard boiled egg gets eaten white first and yolk later.

lilBigPotato · Answer

both! I like to eat the good stuff as soon as possible, but I also like to finish with it to finish with best possible aftertaste

DaisyM23 · Answer

Altheavas · Answer

It depends on how hungry I am. Not too hungry best part first, hungry best part for last.

loveslongnails · Answer

Best part in the middle and at the end for food. You can't do that with wine though. You have to drink the best first when your taste buds are still working. If you wait till you've had a few, or you're drunk, you waste the good stuff.

Sharkstealth · Answer

With breakfast I usually eat the bacon last. Peanut butter cups i eat the edge off first then pop the rest at once. Everything else I just eat.

clampfan101 · Answer

I save at least some of it for last. I might have some first as well. Depends mostly on how much there is.

AydenHazor · Answer

Absolutely the best part last. I want to complete my repast with the pinnacle of flavor. Leaving the best fit lady means the best flavor is the one I get to keep around the longest both in my tongue and in my memory
