Why not buy a round of stilton as a paperweight? Or a nice bit of fish for a 'friend'.? They don't have to be eaten to be a pain. 
If you eat seated in your chair, especially if you swivel it away from desk, you are not eating AT the desk, merely near it

I got pulled up in an audit for eating a cereal bar at my desk in the afternoon in my last place of work. I was 8 months pregnant at the time with a cereal craving.
It's a bad idea to come between a pregnant woman and her cereal bar, as my boss discovered.

an over zealous security person at a gig in hammersmith once took a fuseli bar of mrs21, he said no food was allowed, she was furious, it was for having at work the next day, she had the final triumph, he found one in her bag, but not the second

I can somehow see the problem with hot food. Cold food though, that's essential to get through the day.
Where I work now though it's the desk or nothing. The kitchen is tiny and there's no canteen.
I used to bring in those Chinese bowl noodles for lunch (like a pot noodle but nicer). They were lush, and philistines used to complain - but that was part of the fun really!

Lunch breaks. I remember them, many moons ago...

I dunno what's worse
Does he keep his mouth open when he chews? And does he sit opposite you? All important factors in determining his fate.
Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
I'm genuinely gobsmacked at the audacity of some cunts, I really am. Can't fucking eat while you're typing?? Did we have a worker's movement in this fucking country I ask myself??
For me, war. Straight away. I would either buy the stinkiest food I possibly could, open the lid and then proceed not to eat it.
Or, I would eat on the hour every hour, refuse to capitulate, and force them into giving me a warning for breaking company rules on eating at your desk.
Next stop, the newspapers. They love shit like this.

In the jobs I have had I have always been able to eat at my desk, my only problem with it was when it started to get to the stage that I was excpected to eat my lunch at my desk....whilst working....another one of those stupid unwritten office rules. At this stage I stopped eating at my desk and left the office for every second of all my break entitlement.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
We do ban the students from bringing burgers in or from actually making food at their desks here in the library.
Apart from anything else, we can't eat at the service desk and it makes us hungry when they come in with chips

Have you thought about wearing a bib?trashpony said:How about those of us who, THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR OWN, spill some tea over the keyboard as they are just to take a sip and unexpectedly sneeze? Eh?
Maybe use one of the cups with the 2 handles and sticky up spout bit?
