The herb makes food taste so much better, so you might as well enjoy everything to its fullest. Especially when I'm hungry. I get nice and stoned and then make myself a nice hearty meal (preferably drenched in cheese) and then I go to town on it. And, oh my good it's so delicious while stoned! The flavors just melt in my mouth. Why would you want to eat sober? I specifically get high before I eat.
