Why yes, yes I do eat in bed. I realize that some people think it's weird or gross. Don't care.

I'm in the "ew, gross" camp. It follows without saying that I think breakfast in bed is really nasty.

I thought bed was for.......... and sleeping!

We spent about 8 months without a kitchen, den, living and dining room while renovating. we had one tiny bedroom as our living room and our bedroom while the other rooms had furniture stacked to the hilt. We ate in our bed a lot. I don't think we'll do it again, but while we did it was fine.
Next renovation...we're renting an rv and putting it in the driveway.

As a rule, I don't eat in bed. Partly for the crumb issue, but mostly because my bedroom is upstairs (long way from the kitchen). Besides, we don't have a TV in there, so there's just not much other reason to do it. Actually, we basically don't eat upstairs at all, which is almost entirely sleeping quarters, except the kids sometimes have snacks in the loft where there's an extra TV and spare computer.

Just not a fan of food in proximity to sleeping quarters. I don't disapprove in general, but it's not my thing. Breakfast in bed sounds romantic, but in reality, it's usually just uncomfortable, awkward and inconvenient IMHO. Even in hospital, where you have a sturdy tray table that's not on your lap, and not affected by your movements, it's pretty uncomfortable.

When we stay in hotels (frequently), we might eat in/on bed, but even then, it's usually because it's one of the only options, and typically only breakfast (when the sheets will be changed before the next "normal" use of the bed).

All that said, I'm a big fan of, "If it makes you happy, go for it!"

Only whipped cream and such and never alone.

Crumb-free objects, yes.

Like some chocolate or maybe a hot drink when it's cold.

Not so much in bed as on bed (the whole crumb thing would be bad). Since I had my foot surgery a month ago, we use a nice bamboo tray for bedroom dining. If the good TV was downstairs (and if it were warmer down there), we'd most likely not eat in the bedroom at all.

I enjoy the occasional chocolate treat in bed, I will admit. My boyfriend has also brought me sushi in bed...

No way in hell. The only food allowed in the bedroom is a cup of coffee in the vanity/bath area when I'm putting on makeup in the morning. Even that's a stretch.

I'm a clean/neat freak. No food anywhere near the bed. Ever.

Ice cream, in my jammies, under blankets, watching TV. Rum raisin out of the Hagen-daz container. Sweet.

Buh?

When I had roommates, I ate in bed while watching TV often.

Never. Food or drink of any description doesn't go in the bedroom. EVER.

We eat in bed frequently...much to my displeasure. No don't get me wrong, I'm all for the occasionall cozy-up-to-a-good-book-hot-chocolate-and-cookies kind of bed munching. But I hate that the majority of my meals are infront of the t.v. in bed. I grew up in a pretty strict household where all meals were at the dining room table with the television and radio turned off. It was a treat if we had pizza and watched a movie in the living room (and a production at that...there were never enough seats).

In my dream home the dining room table is always clean and ready to be eaten upon for every meal.

All the time. Most nights we have full dinners from a tray in our bedroom, which is like our fortress -- we work from bed, eat in bed, play in bed, and sometimes even sleep. Yes, we do get up occasionally. But it's a comfortable place, what can I say?

I am so with the comfort food people. A nice bowl of perfectly whipped mashed potatoes with polish butter and a touch of chives under the covers
in front of a great show. Nice night!
