When do you see Sherlock eat?
In The Blind Banker he tells Molly that he never eats when he's working...which means we don't get to see him eat very often...
I've been thinking about that recently so today when I was watching one of the episodes and I spotted him eating, it really stood out, I was like "woah, Sherlock's eating!!"
So, a little quiz question...can anyone tell me what episode it was, and what he was eating?

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Yep the mince pie from the fridge.
Benedict said it wasn't in the script but it seemed the natural thing to do so he did it. Gatiss said it was good, it showed how relaxed & close his relationship with Mrs Hudson was, so it gave a bit more depth to the characters.
Real reason, like any man they go back to childhood habits, raiding the fridge. he hehe

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Yes! You got it!
Does anyone know if he eats at any other time? Can't remember any instances.

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Well he does have a mostly eaten boiled egg and toast in front of him when he is reading the newspaper in Scandal, but he has finished eating it seems.

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
In 221B he eats a slice of toast by telling John: "For god's sake - the speckled blonde!"
That would be the second time I remember that Sherlock is eating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Aaah yes, I remember that now.
John on the other hand, eats a lot more often - although rarely gets chance to finish his food because Sherlock is always rushing him off doing things! I find that pretty funny - the way they're sat in restaurants & cafes and stuff, John's eating Sherlock isn't, then suddenly Sherlock just dashes off and John has to run after him abandoning his food. Poor John!

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
In Study in Pink he tells Mrs Hudson that he "might need something to eat" when he gets back, but that "something cold will do"!!

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Old thread - but can't resist posting . This thing about Sherlock eating.....consider poor Benedict Cumberbatch having to spout out an insane amount of rapid fire dialogue each and every episode - and you want him to put food in his mouth too? Impossible!

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
They did go for a Chinese at the end of ASIP (although we didn't see it on screen), presumably Sherlock was quite happy to eat then because the case was all finished! (He can predict the fortune cookies y'know. )

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
Does anybody even like the taste of fortune cookies?!
I just get them for the paper and bin the rest!

I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

I love them! I always ask those eating with me, "are you going to eat your fortune cookie?" as I'm snatching it out of their hands.

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
The opposite of you Molly. I love eating the cookie and am not bothered about the fortune bit..

I'm with you, girl. Like eating cardboard with a touch of sugar on it. Ah but the wisdom of the messages! Clues, clues anyone?

Re: When do you see Sherlock eat?
In Series 3 I'd quite like to see Sherlock eating a chunk of bread! Canon SH seems to eat a lot of those...
