| Comment | We have lost the habit of eating together, and that is a terrible thing. Even if we have a dining table/area, it is only used at christmas or birthdays.
The, what we now often call 'continental' style of dining, where people sit down together, is seriously rare, and has sort of been re-branded as a thing that 'posh' people do - 'dinner parties' and such.
BUT! - if you invite people round to your house and have them sit together and give them food and drinks, them they will love it! They will be really grateful that they got to have a 'proper' dinner and they will always be happy and excited to come to your house, cos they'll feel the warmth and family atmosphere that was killed when everyone was convinced they had to eat whenever they happened to finish work/school and they had to eat while watching TV - cos TV is more important than real people! |
