Eating without conversation is only stoking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Very rarely does food enhance the conversation. If the food is really good, there'll be much less conversation because you'd be concentrating too much on the food.
Many people see the chance to eat something for nothing, without the need to cook or wash up, as the great consolation of going out to dinner. But they forget quite how difficult it is to talk to a stranger and eat at the same time.
Almost every time we get together with family or friends, the conversation ends up being about food.
If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation, introduce the subject of eating.
Talking to other people while you're cooking, it doesn't come naturally.
I think that we can often be eating and not even really acknowledging that we are putting something about our mouths. I think there is lot to be said about eating dinner and not having the distraction of the TV.
Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
If I eat mindlessly while watching television, reading, or talking with someone else, I can go through an entire meal without tasting the food, without even noticing that I've been eating. The plate is empty but I didn't enjoy the food - I had all of the calories and little of the pleasure.
Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.
The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.
