It’s not a pretty site. More like carnage with flesh and juices running down my chin and elbows: - fresh nectarines, plums and peaches - minneola oranges ---

Nothing particularly disgusting, I’m sorry. Mainly fresh August season Jersey tomatoes, still warm from the sun, with a large salt shaker near at hand. I might be naked except for sandals, because New York in August. Will that do for the disgusting part? ---

I can’t think of anything except pizza. Once in awhile I’ll snack on a slice and eat over the sink. ---

My roommate used to bring home a teriyaki chicken sandwich that was so poorly constructed that it earned the title “sinkburger”. ---

I was about to say, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten anything over the sink, but, actually, I must have done that with tomatoes at least a couple times. ---

Timely thread. I have a friend with a farm and she gave me a large quantity of fresh lychee. I think I ate about 10 of them over the sink the other day. My only concern was thinking, “hmm, do you suppose you can get diarrhea from eating too many lychees at once?” I am happy to report that for me, at least, 10 lychees seems a safe amount. 🙂 ---

Yogurt, when I stir in cocoa powder. Don’t want any of that stuff getting on the floor where a curious kitty can find it. ---

I eat everything alone! But I usually eat juicy pears and peaches over the sink. ---

I’ve recently got into the habit of using a bib [hand towel] while lounging on my recliner. (instead of using the sink). All the juicy fruits. Donuts sprinkled with nuts. Tacos. ---

I never eat over my sink. I have dishes, napkins and paper towel. At hand. I see zero need to EVER eat over a sink. I would feel like an animal at a trough, to be honest. It’s not toxic waste, it’s freaking mango juice, sheesh. Thank you, but no. It’s not for me, I’m afraid. ---

Good to know I’m not alone eating alone over the sink. Got another favorite: - Mayo & white horseradish with sliced tomato on multigrain. It’s a hot delicious dripping mess that cannot be contained.
