For me it kind of depends on the situation and the mood I myself am in and the person I'm putting on the show for (if that's the case).
There are times where I love just having an old fashioned pig out - enjoying the food and devouring it as quickly as possible. This is usually the case for fast food and "simpler" dishes.
But there's times where I want to savor the taste of something I'm eating - some higher end restaurants I've been to almost require you to taste and take your time in enjoying the flavor and texture of the food because of the preparation involved in the meal, and the complexity of the meal itself.
In the latter case, I'm reminded of a Chinese movie that I enjoyed about nearly a decade ago called "In The Mood For Love" by Wong Kar Wai - it featured one of the most sensual scenes where a couple are enjoying a meal together and their eating the food is shot in slow motion. I'd never seen something quite like it (and it's a really, really good art house film).
