I think eating scenes are a great way to express a character's personality. If they're meant to be sensual, they will end up savoring their food and slowly licking their fingers at the end of the meal. If they are meant to be scary, they will wolf it down like a... well, a wolf. xD And so on.

Do you find it hard to write eating scenes?
Honestly, I've never really written one. I always have problems with skipping past detail like that so my characters never really have time for eating. Or else, I'll write something like "they had supper and then did this."

Question time!
Do you find it hard to write eating scenes?

Not really. It depends what the scene is about (since it's never about the eating in and of itself). Like Off The Falls, I think it's a great way of showing character. The way people eat, their manners, in different situations. E.g. a peasant will have different eating manners than a prince. Or a person out with his friends will be eating differently than a person who has just lost his whole family. Or the same character will behave differently in a relaxed situation than in a pressing one. Same goes for eating - e.g. eating a normal meal with his family vs. being given food in prison or in the interrogation room.
Or, you know, when the character is being poisoned.

*Sigh* Don't you just love it when you have an idea and as soon as you go to type/write it down you can't remember?

Yep Rijo!

Eating scenes.. hmm..
It's actually never occurred to me to write one, but I agree with Rolly on it. I probably have written one, but I'm so caught up in the mood of my story I don't even notice that I've written a food scene. Either way, mine usually end up all classy and stuff since in two of my story ideas, the main human characters in both are woman and they both have those easy going, gentle attitudes with a small formal hint. (One is a French photographer and the other is a zoologist that's studying a life of a big cat.)

Don't you hate it when you writing a story for an adotpables, like a fanfiction? Then someone comes out with a story super similer to yours, only ten times better? It's such a confidence boost that they want to read their story over yours!

This happened to me in the worst way. The other week I had a deeply insightful realization about the world. It was a new perspective that I wanted to share with everyone. But I didn't write it down and so when I woke up the next morning...
It was gone.

Lol about the eating scenes. Have you ever read the Redwall series by Brian Jaques? He goes to great detail about eating and feasting scenes. So does J R R Tolkien. I think the eating scenes are the best especially if they're described well

[Rockito]

What is your favorite part to write when in a situation of a fight,etc? Or in an adventure categorized story?

[Kylee Hart]

Could I have critiques please?
