>You are meant to talk to people over dinner

How did this come to be? Like I'd rather do it before or after it.
I don't like talking while I'm having my food, I like being committed to eating.

Picture unrelated.

I feel ya bro, I have the same thing. Always a second after I take my first bite I get questions like how does it taste, is it any good? How in the hell am I to respond when I just filled my mouth with food. Idiots.

the collection/production of food is (was) communal in both settings: hunter-gatherer and agricultural
so why shouldn't consumption be communal as well?
if you're a thoroughly modern silicon valley autist you can drink soylent in a corner by yourself

Usually it's understood between me and my friends when we meet for food that talking is minimal when the food finally comes. Just choose a place with good enough food and they won't be able to not focus on the food.

When you grow up in a secure environment and haven't experienced the fear that "this meal might be your last for a long long time", you can eat like a human being. Talk while you're having a slow dinner. Maybe multiple small courses. Not worry that you'll "still be hungry after this".

If you're a poor pleb, then you need it all served in a huge fucking pile all at once, because this is what most effectively stimulates the relevant parts of your primitive animal brain. Eat it so fast you can barely breathe, and the highest praise you can give a meal is "wow I'm really full, I won't need to eat for a week lol".

No judgment here, just don't go to nice places and bitch and moan that the portions are "too small". The sight of people like you detracts from our enjoyment of the meal.

>Dude many people picked the food together so why shouldn't many people eat it too?
Leaving aside what I think about the quality of that argument, I specifically talked about talking over dinner, not about people having dinner together.

Who ever talked about eating pace, you autist?
>Unironically being ok with being portion-cucked
>Thinking people eat fast because of being in an insecure environment

Refusing to talk while eating allows you to eat faster. You wouldn't know, because in your demographic, it's a given that everyone eats at what you consider a "normal pace", i.e., faster than your sense of satiety can catch up. Like a goose fattening itself from a funnel.

>portion-cucked
Such emotional baggage you people carry. Like if you eat reasonable portions so you can have several courses in one meal, some overwhelming unseen force is going to prevent you from obtaining and eating more food should it be necessary.

Primitive peoples would see human-like attributes in faceless natural forces, perhaps there's something like that with the poors and their fear of hunger?

Lol, you cringy autist. Nvm that you're strawmanning about me being poor or a fast eater, your snobbery about it is fedora-tier.

With my family we eat, then usually sit at the table for an hour chatting and drinking beer or wine.
