Dinner was at 5:30 at my house growing up. If you where late, there may not be any left. With 4 older brother's in the house it was a crowded kitchen. Sunday was KFC after Church to give Mom a day off😎

Maybe it is the way folks were raised? I was raised to eat it while it is hot and eat it all. If it gets cold, it's not as good imo. My wife's family are all slow eaters, and bitch when I'm done early. They tell me to slow down and just chew the food to keep the mouth moving. I'm like, can't you chew yer food? Get your teeth fixed. An interesting yet predictable occurrence. Wife says i conquered my food and i ask for dessert. Fresh kingfish and zucchini tonight. Gonna head out and head home. You-all have a good evenign!

Food gets inhaled on a boat in copious amounts, hot or cold. It's not a slop fest, but it's efficient.
Watching a 5 man crew on a longline boat in the middle of the ocean devour 25 chili dogs in a couple minutes while hauling gear is a sight to behold.

I thought I was a fast eater but I hardly have my lunch unwrapped and my sil has his finished. Same thing with coffee. My coffee is too hot to drink and he is finishing his.
Probably just because he is from a large family?

Only boy with three sisters. They were picky. My mom would fry up a mess of Grunts and they would only pick the top "loin". I ended up eating the heads and bellies as they never aquired the knack for eating the areas with the bones. I would suck the eyeballs and spit out the BBs just to gross them out.

eating slow or fast depends on the circumstances ... not everyone is a pleasant dinner companion According to what I'm eating.

I'm a slow eater..........doesn't bother me at all to spend a couple of hours at a table with a bunch of friends working through steamed crabs or piles of oysters. Yet.....I've family, both on my side and Louann's ( Mostly on hers! ) who if they can not jam it in and be done in 15 minuets get annoyed. Have one BIL who loves crab meat......but ask him to sit and pick and visit......he'll settle for 3 WAWA hotdogs....... What is that caused by? My guess is "culture".......but maybe to genetics.....the particular BIL being rather primitive........ People are different.. When I am eating... I prefer to eat.... I consider too much conversation crude....
I would prefer to eat... then engage in conversation over coffee or drinks... or coffee with liquor in them...

I am a faster eater because I hate cold food. I also prepare most of the proteins in our family so as mentioned before I graze as I go. I have a butt on the smoker right now, and for sure I will have some of that goodness as soon as I pull it.
