I generally dont' eat...... I do always have something drink IE water.. sometimes the host offers me a soda...... But if the host hands me a plate with food on it I dont' turn it down.. I just wait until after everyone has left... except for me and the host.
 
If I have time I do, but sometimes I do not have time to eat. I try to nibble a little b/c I have had people ask me "Why aren't you eating?" Like if you don't like it why would we like it, HAHA!!!! If I am fixing something that is nt my fav to eat, I will get something and eat on my way to the show in the car.
 
When I first started I didn't eat. But, I had a round of parties for the same group of ladies and after a few shows they asked me "why don't you ever eat with us". If my host is someone I don't know, then I do not eat until after the guests have finished. While the host is doing her goodbyes I will grab a quick bite if there is anything left...otherwise I go through a drive thru on the way home.
