I miss my hamsters. All of them, except the one that was a miniature furry demon.
1) Have you ever eaten a meal at you desk? Why and what was it?
I used to eat lunch at my desk every day. I couldn't face being the only one sitting alone in the lunch room at work.
2) Do you like Liquorice, and if so... WHY??
No
3) What is your guilty pleasure food?
Chocolate, or ice cream, or pizza.
4) What do you eat when youre trying to be good?
Broccoli. I hate it, but I eat it.
5) What food can you simply not understand that ANYONE could like it?
Snails

Hi, Thanks for the tag @Dante .
Love the hamster facts. I have a Hamster, his name is Winston. He isn't too keen on coming out but will tolerate me stroking him as long as I also give him food, which seems a fair exchange !!
Ok, so yes I normally eat lunch at my desk, I really shouldn't but..
Yes I like liquorice, but only plain not the flavoured stuff.
Guilty pleasure ... Chocolate, and or ice cream.
Cauliflower or broccoli if I am being good.
Prawns can't understand how anyone could eat them.
Just tried to tempt Winston into a picture, but he was having none of it !!!

I hope you are able to get rid of your method, or lock it away and give the key to someone to look after. Having it there is too tempting and we all want you to stay safe. Keep talking to us. 
To answer your question about hamsters and guinea pigs, they are different. Hamsters are much smaller, they’re rodents and live around 2 years if you are lucky. Guinea pigs are not rodents but are cavy’s and related to capybaras. I had one that lived to 8 years once but that’s rare. Guinea pigs are so much nicer pets than hamsters.

The Food Table
With Deskfast day, Liquorice Day, AND Grilled Cheese Sandwhich day all at once, I couldnt not have a food table.
1) Have you ever eaten a meal at you desk? Why and what was it? Of COURSE. I cannot possibly name every meal ever eaten at them, @Dante lol
2) Do you like Liquorice, and if so... WHY?? Ooh this is the BEST question. I LOVE red licorice. I have NO idea!! Lol. I have always liked it since I was little..and I like it to an extreme. People used to have to tell me to stop eating twizzlers pull and peel because I would eat the entire bag and apparently excessive sugar made me mad. So, I had to cut down. A lot. Ha. I love all licorice. I'm not as big a fan of black, but I like it tiny amounts. Make it sour, make it peel, I'm going to eat it. 😜
3) What is your guilty pleasure food? Fried Chicken I'm very unhappy about my love for it and bacon. However I will not eat bacon and when trauma is fixed, chicken will be out the window again for good.
4) What do you eat when youre trying to be good? Very healthy and balanced, colorful food with a little indulgence. I like food so much and the more unique flavorful and creative the better. I love food from all over the world, but I mostly eat Mexican, Indian and Italian food NOM NOM but as I write that I get hungry for Vietnamese, Mediterranean and American grilled cheese (with tomatoes and avocado!!) Now I'm hungry. Mostly vegetables, cheese grains/seeds, nuts/beans and tofu/fish and herbal/green/white tea and nut milk the rest of the time.
5) What food can you simply not understand that ANYONE could like it? Cilantro (tho I have read and scientifically get it, I cannot taste bud get it) avocados, cinnamon toast and water. How the f are there people that don't like water?! Stumps me. Endlessly stumps me. I LIVE for water, best beverage EVER.
The DIY Table
What, you want me to think of everything? This is a self-serve table, find your own questions and answer them!
1) What question does no one ever ask you, and what's the answer? In person, no one asks all of us how we are. Like most of my life and they don't want a real answer.
2) What question do you wish people would stop asking you and what's the answer? A passing, Where are you from. I have no idea how to answer really. Do you want to know where I was born, where I feel most close too, where I moved around too, what my heritage is or where I live currently? It's fine in context to an actual conversation, but someone who is talking to you for five minutes or whatever, it sucks. Confusing stressful question. I know I'm weird.
3) What's the strangest question you have ever been asked and what's the answer?
People ask preacher's kids weird questions and have some off-putting assumptions. This is the most bizarre and unsettling, I can recall. You really also needed to see her face while asking and feel her energy.
Strange woman says to me once, "You are the anointed one, aren't you?" (Comes towards me wanting to touch me)
Noooo.... (Side-eyes and makes excuse for quick exit in-between panic and discomfort) what is that that and why do you think this?! (As I do not want the answer really..) 😰🏃..🏃

@JMG
5) What have you been doing to keep yourself sane whilst stuck at home and do you intend to continue it when you earn you freedom again?
Reading, trying and pretty much failing utterly miserably to form some serious, meaningful bonds with people online (that has NOT helped me stay sane though lemme tell ya, quite the opposite which is why I think it's safe to say I'm utterly done with that nonsense already!!!!) and just taking things one day at a time. After how things have been for me over the past few years it kinda feels like I can survive anything now so I will find a way to survive this too no matter how much more misery and suffering I'll have to feel for the rest of my life.
I struggle with online bonds too, just want you to know you aren't alone.

Hello everyone. 
Pretty late to this one, I've had a couple of challenging days. I've kept some of my answers in a draft, so here they are.
The Food Table
1) Have you ever eaten a meal at your desk? Why and what was it?
I eat most of my meals at my desk, always have, because I don't like spending more time in the living room than necessary.
2) Do you like Liquorice, and if so... WHY??
Not so much, but the Finnish Salmiakki chocolate is not bad.
3) What is your guilty pleasure food?
Chocolate for sure, and ice cream in the Summer.
4) What do you eat when you're trying to be good?
When I'm REALLY trying, only cooked food and more greens.
5) What food can you simply not understand that ANYONE could like it?
Oysters or escargots and other eww things like that. Also, pineapple on pizza.
