FabSwingers.com forum: Where do you put yours?

Where do you put your evening meal?

Do you have a dining table, a mat for your lap, do you balance it on your knee, or munch it while standing in the kitchen?

Do you have coasters and a tablecloth? Candlesticks? Salt and pepper pots?

Also, supper, dinner or tea?

We call it supper or dinner. Eaten at the dining room table unless we're having a very lazy evening. Table mats and coasters are used. And the kids get nagged if they use the cutlery in the wrong hands

Morning...

We've always generally eaten at the table as a family... kids aren't allowed phones at the table...but elbows and sharing food off plates is allowed...all that said having eaten in for the last couple of years we have zero table manners and can probably never eat in public again

Its breakfast, dinner, tea.

Used to always sit at the table for tea. More so these days it is on a cushion on my lap.

No room for dining tables at Soze Manor, so we do the lap dance with plates.

I eat later than the others so tend to just stand at the kitchen counter to eat.

My nan’s spare room.

Always at the pine kitchen table.

It’s rustic shall we say so no coasters mats although always salt and pepper mills and a jug of water. Or several bottles of wine.

It all depends what I’m having. If I have cooked a meal I will sit at my table in the kitchen, mats and coasters are always out.

If it’s a sandwich I’ll usually stand and eat it at the worktop where it was made.

Then there is the car option if I am out and grab something from greggs, Burger King etc.

I’m very versatile

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

Wherever is the quickest and easiest when I'm alone. I hate eating and do it because I'm nagged to, so make it as speedy a chore as possible.

And I don't have people here as a rule, so don't usually have that issue. If someone does come round we usually go out to eat if we have to.

And the evening meal is dinner. Tea is a beverage.

This sounds more severe than it is....

Dinner.

Place mats, no tablecloth. I like to see the woodgrain of my dining table.

Cutlery laid out.

Salt and pepper pots.

No electronics or distractions at the table. Conversation between us at the table.

We serve at the same time and start together.

We rise when everyone has finished or, on occasion, ask to be excused beforehand.

Sounds very formal but it really isn't. It's just a habit.

Plate and bowls must be warmed or chilled accordingly.

We call it dinner. Growing up we called it tea in my family. Supper has always sounded like such an odd word to me.

We eat at the table in the living room unless we have a fast food takeaway when we eat it in front of the telly. Luke

I live in a flat with a tiny kitchen so we eat on our laps on the sofa. For special occasions like Christmas or having guests over we use my computer desk by dragging it out into the middle of the living room and throwing a table cloth over it

Depends what it is for dinner. Mostly at the table with the ocassional tray on the lap and a bit of telly. Sometimes the main at the table and perhaps the dessert a little later whilst relaxing on the sofa and watching a bit of telly or listening to some music or just chatting.

And it's dinner.

My children used to take their evening meal up to their rooms, so the dining table only got used for special occasions.

We used to go all out at Christmas with Christmas themed table decorations etc.

That sounds very much like how I was brought up. We had to say "please may I leave the table?" to go. I'm not so strict with our kids. Sometimes I wish I was as they seem to get ants in their pants at dinner time and can't sit still

We also had special table mats for Christmas as well as poinsettia candles and Santa napkins

When the boys were living at home we always ate around the table, it was non negotiable. A chance to catch up on a busy day and chat, no phones or devices. I think mealtimes are a perfect opportunity to spend time together no matter their age.

I call the meals breakfast, dinner and tea.

I eat tea sat at the table, it has a modern oilskin tablecloth on all the time because grandchildren like to use glue, paint etc.

I then put a mat out for my plate and one for my drink. I eat alone and because of that i have my phone or kindle with me.

Hubby sits on a sofa with his plate on his knee.

He says he might aswell sit there because i'm reading, however i only read because I'm sat there alone

I don't eat breakfast, and mostly don't eat lunch (which we call denner), I have my supper at the dining table 100% always. When the bairns are with me they have theirs at the table as well - its the only old school conformist thing I do, but I think it just more civilised and it's where we get the chance to talk. If I was to let them eat where they want it would be carnage - I can attest to this as it's carnage when I give them a cup of tea and biscuits when we're playing Mario cart!!!!

Tea time here.

Weekdays - depends who is eating. If it's us as a family, then at the dining table. It has a wipe clean cloth on it. We have place mats and kitchen roll if it's something to eat with fingers (CBA with napkins).

If it's just me and Mr KC after kids bedtime, then we sit on the sofa and maybe do Uni Challenge or watch 24hrs in A&E at the same time.

Weekend - see above for weekdays with family.

The proper use of cutlery is compulsory. We don't have to remind our kids, they just do it.

Dining table most of the time. We always set the table with cutlery, seasoning, placemats and coaster etc. If we are having a takeaway we usually eat in bed and watch something on the telly.
