I recently posted a thread about my habit of being a tidy bunny. My house, as you all well know by now, is scrupulously clean. Same goes with my eating habit.
Whenever, I'm eating, my plate is clean. You will not see anything on the table. Not one single rice grain or food on the floor.

I happened to know a few people eating like they were always running out of time. They will eat noisily. Their plate is dirty, the table on the side of their plate is a mess and there will be lots of food spilling on the floor. I can understand if its a 6, 8 or 10 years old child eating that way. But for an adult, I think they should know how to eat properly. This is only my opinion.

I don't believe in the saying that if your house is a mess, then you're also a messy eater. My brother is a perfect example in this case. Every part of his house is positively out of order, but he knows his manner whenever its eating time.

I like to know if you're a tidy or a messy eater? What do you think of those people who are eating noisily and a total mess? Should they know that proper etiquette should be observed while eating? Do share your thoughts.


Do you eat like bunny or not?

good post charms. unlike keeping home clean, i feel eating food is really an art. i myself take my own time to eat and finish each dish served enjoying bit of it. afterall all the exercise day in and day out is to for the stomach. and so i believe eating at ease is must. and i do like talking with my family all the while guiding them the way eating without messing up. my colleagues at office while at lunch have that untidy and hasty way of gulping down the food down their throats attending to intercom and worried about their work. just junky kind of people i hate i tell them to enjoy their lunch with cool mind but no way. they are as they are.

LOL, I know what you mean. I can't blame them really as they are always in a hurry. I hope they will learn how to make eating a pleasurable habit instead of adding their stress. Thanks for the nice input, totalearnings. :)

LOL, gabs dear. I can understand about kids eating messily. Hmmm, its a good thing you are not with your EX anymore. I'm glad to know that you can find the time to relax while eating. :)

I'm tidy when I eat. I know my table manners. However, there may be times when a grain or two of rice may accidentally fall, but I make sure I pick them up immediately. I'm not the best housekeeper on the floor though. Regarding people with bad table manners, I generally just don't look at them. Sometimes they are not aware of the etiquettes that should generally be followed. What I can't stand are people who waste food. They pile up a lot of food on their plate and then they don't eat everything. Such a waste.


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4635)   ranked 62 out of 27,451 in mylot.com  5 years ago

I know what you're saying. Indeed, there are still a lot of people who don't know how to save on food.

I am a tidy eater and always try to finish everything on my plate.
We were always taught to eat everything except bones even if we didn't really fancy it .
I always clear the plate and then put the knife and fork side by side in the middle. At school we were told that meant you were finished and if the knife and fork were left at the sides it meant you were still hungry.
Luckily now I am the cook most of the time,I dont add anything to a persons plate that they dont fancy and I tell my own kids to leave a thing to the side if they don't like it.
My husband eats very primly. He will spoon the soup away from him and uses a fork to eat cake. He cuts toast on a diagonal and I never bother to cut mine at all.
None of us manage to get it on the floor.

Wow, I like the way you said here. Like placing the utensils on the side if we are done eating. I better teach my girls about it. Thank you, mihimolly. I learn something from you. :)

I like my house and my table to be clinically clean and I can't stand either of them to be messey. I eat small dainty morsels and I am a very slow eater. I am usually last to finish and I often stop eating because I don't like being the only person left eating. I too have seen a few people who just attack their food as though it was going to get away from them. I like to have a nice clean tablecloth on my table during mealtimes and when my children were small I would place lost of serviettes at their setting in case the cloth would be spoiled. When any of my grandchildren make noise while they are eating, I usually ask if the food tastes nice to which they will reply "why". I then say "because it sounds awful"...lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4635)   ranked 62 out of 27,451 in mylot.com  5 years ago

LOL, my girls also like to talk while eating. I was at my wit's end reminding them not to talk while eating. I need to use that technique you are using with your grandchildren. Another good advice. Thanks, alexandria.

LOL, I am a tidy eater. Check out my latest thread. I have been brought up to be a good kiddo who will finish everything on his plate.

And yes, I do know the fine art of dining. Where to put your fork and knife, etc. In fact, I practise them at less fanciful places out of home too. People who observe me must think me strange. :P


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4635)   ranked 62 out of 27,451 in mylot.com  5 years ago

You? I thought you only use fork while eating. You know, the specially made fork for the daredevil. Muah ha ha ha ha ha....

i think it depends if I'm eating seafood definitely a messy eater but other courses I'm tidy. i can't eat crabs without messing up or fish i can't really eat all the meat in the fish. i think we should know the proper etiquette in eating. table manners is a must wherever you eat. there's an exception if it's festival and you can eat bare hands. that's fine. what is you're on a formal dinner and you don't know the table manners who's going to look shameful? it's you yourself right? that's why i think every kid should be taught at an early age. not so early age at least the age where they can understand things fully and follow instructions or directions.

One day someone at my first job asked me if I felt like a chipmunk -- apparently I was eating with both cheeks stuffed lol So ever since then I've been careful about eating slowly and swallowing. I hope crumbs don't fly out of my mouth or anything anymore lol.

LOL, just make sure to catch those crumbs. Thanks for the good laugh. :)
