Explanation

The sentence says 'But when it comes to food, I am a big ______'. 'Drooling' as a noun form means an excessively eager eater, which fits the context of being a big food lover. 'Contemplative' means thoughtful, 'desecrated' means violated/disrespected, and 'dour' means stern - none fit the context of enthusiasm for food.
