In india, Eat at the floow is very common in our culture.. In some of the family, the aged people those who undergone with some surgery or due to their age factor, they are not able to sit down, and get up comfortably, they used to sit on the Dining Table and eat their food.
But the Common practice is in India is to have our food at floor.. Even now we have more than 90% of our family the people used to sit in the floor and eat our food..
Infact, in case of any functions, we can used to eat the food even in the table, that too comfortable for us.. (Even some of our people feel uncomfortable to eat at table also, due to their practice by eating the food at the floor)
What is your practice, Will you used to eat by sit at the floor, or on the Dining Table..??

I have to say that I respect your culture. It might prove to be comfortable. I live in the United States and we usually like to dine at the table.

I am in practice of having food both on floor and on table.At home , we are only four, have our food on dinning table.
But , I will not hesitate , if I am served on floor.I have been to India, and on more than one occasion ,I had my food on floor.
I remember , I visited some in a village, they served the food banana leaves.( if I am not wrong, it was inn 1980..) It was great.

Yea its followed in our culture.. my doctor adviced me to sit on the floor rather than prefering chair or a table so definitely i have to sit down and have my food.. so my whole family accompanies me.Well in my relatives they have started to dine in the dinning chair.. and in chennai most of the families have dinning table but they do prefer sitting down and for having their food, i dont see except in temples where they are asked to have food sitting in the floor.What my doctor said is like when we sit on the floor and have food the blood circulation is all over the body and its good for our health
