Wow.

Compared with Dean, Sam is really hard to buy for!!!

Someone should write a meta-post about how little we know about Sam's tastes. You know, Dean. He's got the Impala and metal bands and C-grade horror movies and M&Ms and weaponry and Jack Nicholson and you could go on and on. But what does Sam like? Casa Erotica and the laptop? Seriously.

Isn't there a conspiracy or something that Sam never eats onscreen? (Are you the one following that?) I'd say something metashow about how a lot of actors won't eat onscreen because they have to film it over and over again, but Jared doesn't seem like the kind of person to have a problem with that. Jensen certainly doesn't. :D I personally think that while Sam doesn't eat like an anorexic ballet dancer, he probably substitutes salad for french fries once in a while. He's not as sophisticated as we make him sometimes - look at the debacle with the wine list in Provenance - but I bet he likes sushi.

I think that Sam's characterization is a really interesting thing to look at, because so much of fandom is made up of students or people who went to college and know how that changes a person. The other fascinating thing is that we have all this fanon about Sam - and unlike most of the wacky Dean fanon, we know it's right without canon confirmation. We knew Sam listened to angry chick rock before that script with the deleted line got released. There's a meta I've been meaning to write about Sam as the canon POV character and what exactly I mean by that, but it's still brewing. You should poke me for it once in a while.

Off hand, I know Sam ate a doughnut in the beginning of Phantom Traveler (in the commentary, Jared talked about how he had to eat it each time they shot the scene, and then they never used the footage)

Also, the scene where Sam bitches at Dean's eating habits are from the pilot. They're at the gas station and it's right before he bitches about Dean's tape collection.
