Eating without entertainment a waste?

[old.Tohtori]

I've been curious(o-oh, watch out cat) about this a while. Well, since last ciggie.

Everytime i eat something, especially something good like a nice meal, i need to find me a tv show, some internet youtubing or a comic book to read while i eat. Otherwise, it feels like a waste of food.

Same goes when watching a great movie or some standup clips, it's better with something good to eat.

I'm just wondering if others are the same, and if this is some primal instinct. Like, when in caveman times, you had to watch your surroundings while stopping to eat, to not be eaten.

That all.

 

[Overdriven]

Yeah, atleast with me aswell. Can't stand to eat if I'm not watching something/sitting with friends or anything like that. Can't really explain why though.

Just seems like "Meh, why eat when there's nothing to look at other than the food?" Weird..

I think if you have a 'very active mind' I suppose its something you just do, like you say. Perhaps your mind is just not content with doing just 1 thing or perhaps you find eating just boring...

bit deep i know, but I used to read the papers at work while eating lunch but I've just stopped (mainly as the papers have gotten worse)

 

[old.Tohtori]

Might be true, the active mind thing, since when i wake up and stumble into the kitchen to ease the hunger, i might just sit there and eat while my brain boots up

Can you not eat in a restaurant and think it's a good meal and worth the value unless it has music? ;o

You've got people to talk to when you're there. Bad example ;D

 

[Chronictank]

I have to admit, im the same
i have to be doing something while i eat or it doesn't seem right

Like overdriven said, there's usually company.

But to answer the question, i need, well, a window seat atleast to even go to a McD. I don't like eating with no stimulants at all

Don't think you really do honestly. More like a subconcious thing really.

 

[haarewin]

i cant eat alone without music or reading. this is exactly why we need more dinner theatres!! dinner with showtunes!

 

[Afran]

When I'm at home, definatley, I couldn't just sit at the table without watching tv, a movie, listening to music or talking to other people and eat, never thought about it before, but that's weird

Or it could be that you asociate the "good" feeling of the entertainment with the food and therefore it tastes better, if without the entertainment it doesn't taste the same.

(this is probably explained really badly but i can't think straight at the moment will elborate tomorrow in the morning maybe )

beware, don't accidentally mix hands while still holding fork. would be messy..

If i'm not eating at the table with my family i'm usually the same. Will generally go sit down in my room and look for something on alluc to watch. Although at breakfast (if i bother having it) i'll read the paper and if it's a midnight snack after getting in from a night out i find myself just eating and starring into space while fucked out my nut.

 

[Mojo]

If I am looking at a plate of food then I am not focusing on the current viewing which is a big no no, i usualy have the news on for background noise, but if i think something is worth watching then i watch it without distraction.

 

[Ezteq]

I love (absolutely love!) laying on my tum in bed with a book resting against the wall infront of me, add to this one of my uber sangers and a beer and its just sheer perfection!

I love reading while i eat but also tv is ok for eating entertainment, I don't believe I have ever just eaten and not been doing something else, even when I go hikings and i sit in the middle of no where for my lunch ill read or be gazing at scenery.

 

[Sheridan]

id say this all relates to the old cave man style all eating food round a fire or such as a meeting of celebration for eating the food and enjoying it together and the entertainment being the substitute for having friends/family there.

once heard a saying there is nothing worse than eating alone, made me smile.

 

[Ezteq]

i dunno sheri i quite like eating alone, actually before i met my bf i was petrified of a bloke asking me out to dinner incase i shamed myself with my poor dining ettiquette. been to resteraunts for lunch alone and found it a nice experience.

its like some people cant go to the cinema alone too they find it depressing... i just find it allows me to scoff all the popcorn lol.

 

[Sheridan]

each to their own..... or maybe your just weird !

definatly no ging to the cinema alone id say

id say i like doing quite a few things alone, but certain things are just not made to be done alone in my opinion

but when someone talks to you about the film your watching at the cinema..... trying not to kill them to death is hard

rofl why'd sheri get banned? he was here this morning, i turn my back for a couple of hours and its all action!

Nothing like a good amusement when eating food...

prolly said something retarded in another thread

 

[Overdriven]

Not wanting to bring this thread down, but anyone wondered how hard/weird it would be to eat while watching porn (of any type) I just thought about that.

 

[Calaen]

I have had foreplay with food while watching porn does that count?

*cough* depends what your eating tbh


*whistles*

 

[tris-]

not hard to eat and watch porn in the slightest.

the only food for which i require entertainment is stuff like pizza.

Fry from Futurama explained it best when he said "Families need a big TV when they eat, so they dont have to talk to each other".

Case and point =)
