How many times have I noticed that there are habits of behavior at the table that annoy me. Irritating to varying degrees. There are those when I just don't look at the person who is eating.
For example, when a person, hunched over a plate, throws himself on food as if he had not eaten for several days and begins to literally throw it in himself, sloppy and sloppy.
Or here's another when a person makes an incomprehensible mash in a plate from the main dish and side dish, turning the food, in my opinion, into slops. Well, I don't understand why to knead a cutlet or sausage and mix it with mashed potatoes, for example. This is... unpleasant for me.
Most likely, because I am a visual, and, in general, the beautiful appearance of food is therefore of great importance. Ugly for me - unappetizing by default.
And there are habits that annoy to such an extent that I simply never invite people with them to my table a second time.
For example, digging through food, trying to fish out microscopic pieces of something and push them to the edge of the plate. Firstly, it is unpleasant to see it, and secondly, it is insulting to the one who cooks.
You know that there is something in a dish that you don't eat - why bother with it at all? They say that if visiting - then / so as not to offend the refusal of the owners. Strange politeness, to be honest, do you think the hosts watch with great pleasure as the unfortunate guest digs something out of the food?
Oh yes, the habit of sniffing every piece brought to the mouth is incredibly infuriating. In this case, I feel like a poisoner who slipped rotten foods to the unfortunate. I somehow could not stand it, I asked one such eater:
-We're looking for a dead man?
To which the answer received:
- Okay, I have a habit!
The person was also offended, they say, there is nothing to pay attention to. Well, in his opinion, there may be nothing, but in my opinion, there is nothing to sniff out. This, you know, is an insult to the cook, a direct hint that you can eat stale food in his house.
Come on in the house - in any decent establishment, waiters will quickly report on such actions of the guest to the kitchen, and the chef will jump out to find out: is everything okay, is everything okay?
Oh, and I almost forgot one more habit, to put sandwiches, canapes, tartlets on a plate and... eat out a spread-filling or some specific pieces from them. As a result, a bunch of products remain on the plate, which are already exclusively for disposal.
Oh, yes, it also annoys me when they forcefully almost feed me something that I stubbornly refuse. Therefore, I never persuade anyone to eat anything or even try.
And how about that? Do you endure everything from everyone, or is something unnerving?
