Do your table manners and/or eating habits differ significantly from dining alone in the privacy of home, compared to dining with others? If so, how and why?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) May 5th, 2010

When I was single and living alone, I put more effort into setting a nice table. As a person who’s in a relationship and living with someone, more than half of my meals I eat alone. As such, I’ve been noticing some differences. Alone, I tend to eat more quick-fix, not-good-for-me foods without concern for plate presentation or my behavior. It’s not as if I eat like Taz tearing through a meal, but in a way I wouldn’t normally eat around others.

How were/are your eating habits and table manners as a single person? Are there any noticeable differences when you’re with someone else?
