I love pork well done with lots of pepper. I have umpteen coffee in the morning, then maybe tea after our evening meal. Neither, red wine and very dry thank you very much. I much prefer buffet dining but we usually end up with a sit down dinner. MaryW

Beef flank steak, stuffed, broiled, served with gravy... Yum! Neither--unless the coffee has lots of sugar and/or chocolate. Neither--I like some wines and gin-and-sevens. Either-or. It really depends on the menu. Some buffet places are nasty, and I've noticed that they all seem to have the same options. Kinda boring after awhile.

1) Neither, I am a vegetarian and haven't eaten meat in years. 2) I like coffee first thing in the morning but after that, either one. 3) Neither, I don't drink alcohol at all. 4) Both, depending on where we are and who we are with. I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

Steak, pork is too fatty Tea, much gentler taste Martini, beer's not my thing Sit down, something about all you can eat gives me a negative vibe, but I have major food issues Leticia |

well lets see... I'm not ashamed to say I like meat...steak is good, hamburger is better. ( I like mustard and it doesn't work on a steak too well  )I don't drink much tea or coffee, but of the two I prefer tea.(especially english..PG Tips is wonderful) I'm also not much of an alcohol drinker..so neither of the choices suits me.... I lived in Las Vegas, NV for 4 years and got used to eating at buffets. It's a way of life there, but it can get boring and MUCH too noisy. I prefer sitting down in a nice restaurant, with as little noise as possible in the background. (and since they passed the no smoking in restaurants here, it's much more pleasant to eat out  )

I grew up on a farm, so I love meat and milk!! I'll take a t-bone steak. I like tea; coffee gives me heartburn. My favorite beverage is Coca-Cola. If I don't have one almost every day, I'm kind of crabby. I hate beer. I'd order a strawberry daiquiri or wine cooler. I like sit-down restaurants. A friend of mine says it's not a treat if you have to go and get the food yourself! At some of the buffet restaurants, the food all tastes the same. And usually I end up miserable because I eat too much--a little taste of this and a little taste of that!! Raine |

Definitely a good steak. Just water please (I dont drink tea, coffee, or colas) Beer at big parties, martinis/wine at small parties Diners and take out (I think both could be "sit-down"). Although not much can compare with Chinese Buffets

I am a carnivore and prefer beef to pork I have some issues with how some animals are farmed so like to know the sources of what I eat. Don't talk to me until I have had my english breakfast cup of tea - which mustn't be too strong - DH usually delivers that to me in bed just have to watch that the cat doesnt swipe my toast. Not a beer women prefer wine Red - Merlot white sauv blanc or chardonay like a good sit down resaurant - have you seen what happens to some of that buffet food! Though having said that when we entertain I serve buffet style then we sit at the dining table But then I like most food that I haven't had to prepare Skye |

Roast pork, crackling, apple sauce, gravy, mmmmmmm Tea first thing in the morning, coffee at 11, and after a meal (PG Tips isn't REAL tea you should try Twinnings English Breakfast or Assam or Cylon, Chrys - though I will agree it is better than some factory sweepings you can buy) Red wine, dry, warm, mellow, oaky with hints of raspberry that go whoosh up your nose (sorry, carried away there) Sit down, with friends or family. Chinese banquet- YES! love and kisses, Jan

Which one do you prefer? Steak or pork? I like both but I guess the steak wins -- but just barely. Tea or coffee? Coffee -- In the morning, every morning. Good "fair exchange" beans (social conscience and it tastes better too) ground just before brewing. But if you don't have that I'll settle for cheap luke-warm instant as long as it has caffeine. Cold beer or a martini? Here I'll take the beer but ususally I'll have a nice cold glass of barrel-aged chardonnay, preferably made just a few miles from my house. I grew up in the Napa Valley in California and now live in the Finger Lakes region of New York so wine is in my blood. And if it starts to get thin I just add some more. Buffet dining or sit down? We have buffet at family dinners and that's easy and fun but when we go out I shy away from buffets. Who knows what that guy in front of me in line did in the soup -- and where did that woman put that thing she picked up off the floor? Back in the salad? Dorothy |

I enjoy a good steak although pork (the white meat only) is better for you and, by the way, pork is much leaner than beef). DH prefers chopped steak and lately I've been buying whole sirloins and grinding my own meat for hamburgers, meat loaf , etc. in my Cuisinart; much prefer to know exactly what is in my hamburger patty. Vanilla or cherry coke anytime over beer or wine. I don't mind buffet but I like to be familiar with the establishment ; prefer sit down preferably in all adult atmosphere. Sorry ladies but screaming children don't do much for my appetite or my digestive system. Patsy Patsy

Steak any day; the thicker the better ... with french fries and mayo. Herbal tea really is my favorite. I don't mind a café moka with breakfast on weekends. Dark beer or red wine, depends what's in my plate or how warm the weather is. Sitdowns. If I go to a restaurant it's to be pampered so I'm not getting up for my food ... except for Chinese buffet. |

1. Beef, hands down. 2. Tea... sweet with plenty of ice. 3. Don't drink. 4. Sit down. I dislike buffets with a passion. Good to talk to y'all again... Meg

Oh I love both steak and pork. I love to eat. I use to drink at least three cups of coffee in the morning while reading by daily news paper but since I quit smoking I have one cup in the morning and then drink diet coke the rest of the day. I don't drink but on that special occasion that I do I have a glass of wine with my dinner depending on what I have wheather it's red or white. But it has to be dry. I like a sit down restaurant for my evening meal but buffet is okay for lunch. I like to eat out sometimes but I'd rather cook. I love to cook. Especially if there is plenty of hungry faces around. |
