I'll eat almost anything and anytime.
I looooooove ice cream and chocolate and sweets in general.

I eat ANYTHING. No dislikes that I would never eat. Even the foods I don't prefer, I still eat them. Even if I didn't like things the first time, I will still try them again a few more times just to confirm! Lol. But usually after that I can eat them no problem!

I always say my taste buds are STUPID - I literally say everything I eat taste GOOD (very very poor food critic). Only dishes I won't eat is if the flavor is too strong.. I can't handle too salty, too sweet, or too spicy...

I enjoy food (who doesn't - it's the #1 addiction), and will try anything at least once before passing judgment on it (Sag love of novelty, Libra sense of fairness). My 4R is also in the 9H, which may attribute some culinary daring and appreciation.

I love coffee. Starbucks has the most amazing Salted Caramel Mocha frappie, ugh, so good - but yes, terribly packed with calories. Their regular coffee is subpar, so I stick to Dunkin' Donuts for a standard smooth brew. At home, I love making custom flavors. Irish cream, peppermint mocha, hazelnut, amaretto, caramel, orange spice, vanilla, cinnamon, coconut, etc. Let's not forget the biscotti, either. Omnomnom. No one can take away my coffee. Nothing is as relaxing as breathing in the amazing aroma, with your fingers wrapped around a steaming cup. Something about coffee just screams "cultured and refined".

Otherwise, I just drink water. Rice or almond milk on occasion, when paired with something suitablely sweet or spicy.

Given the choice between a sweet snack and a salty snack - I'll usually go for the salty one. I love smoothies - healthy ones (no milk, no yogurt, no sugar, no ice cream - just fruit and veggies, maybe nuts and/or seeds). Too much sweetness in anything makes me feel like washing my mouth out to dilute the sugar shock. This is the same reason I rarely drink fruit juice.

I prefer "lighter" foods. While a batch of enchiladas is okay once in a blue moon, it's just so heavy and greasy, and makes me feel bloated and ill. Same with things like pizza, or many restaurant foods. That's why I eat foods with cheese in moderation.

I'd rather go for rice than bread, and would pick white meat before red (less grease).

I have no preference for bland or spicy foods - both are good. Garlic or cinnamon makes many things better, though.

I like fruits and veggies most as finger foods. I have a banana every morning with my coffee. I also like snacking on grapes, grape tomatoes, black olives, raw baby carrots, mandarins, raw broccoli, etc. Basically, I don't like to exert much time and effort into preparing food. I'd rather eat fruit raw than out of a can or bottle.

As for "comfort foods" or "guilty pleasures", aside from Starbucks ambrosia, I may splurge on pasta. I'd pick Asian food for celebration dinners (be it Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc).

I've never been fat, and have the capability to control and record my dietary choices effectively for weight loss, as needed. I think the Libran influence keeps one aware of body image, and helps to make appropriate choices for maintaining an acceptable balance between food appreciation and one's physical appearance. The MOON rules my 6H, so that may have something to do with it, too.
